Profile



A professional Scottish Bagpiper for hire. I grew up in Glasgow and started learning the pipes at 11 years old. Then moved to the north of England in my early 20s. I have 30 years continuous experience playing to a high standard with pipe bands in Scotland and England. I have competed with pipe bands at the elite Grade 1 & Grade 2 levels. I’ve also performed at international military tattoos, concerts and parades throughout Europe.

As a solo musician I have provided bagpipe music for hundreds of events. Including weddings, funerals, birthday parties, corporate functions, rock concerts and more. Get in touch today, and let’s discuss your special occasion.

Reviews:

"We used this bagpiper for our Mum’s funeral. He was professional and approachable from the first communication. Exactly what we wanted and gave a fitting tribute to our mum. Superb service. Thank you."

"Great bagpiper, hired him for my cousin's wedding, absolutely outstanding performance and has high standard professional manner. Strongly recommended! "

"Where do I start? He played at our wedding this week and wow did he make it special. He worked closely with our pianist as I wanted some very specific entrance music and they both pulled it off beautifully. They had everyone in tears (including the registrars and groom) and it quite honestly was perfect. I can’t thank him enough for all he did for us. He made our special day that little bit more magical."

Brittanie S
