Playlists etc:
From a very wide repertoire of tunes for the pipes he can advise you on selections from well known favourites to tunes with a special meaning for your occasion and for particular times during your function. He will also endeavour to play special requests if suitable for the pipes. Based on experience, he will play selections of tunes of his own choosing to suit the situation and mood and will also position himself accordingly. He admits to having brought a tear of joy and emotion to many an eye and to have set people dancing the next. The times when he plays are quite flexible and can be as you would like and he is used to adapting to the situation at short notice. Much of his time is taken in getting ready, travelling to and from the venue so once he is there the times he plays and the length of time he is there is fairly flexible dependant on other commitments. He will arrange to meet you (if not too far away) or let you know where he will be playing to chat about tunes and play through some selections.
