The late Gordon Duncan
I have too many greatest songs to choose from
I started learning the pipes aged 7 years on and when I began playing my pipes aged 8, I was out and about with my band and family piping at pubs, supermarkets, competitions and the odd friends or family weddings.
Me and all my pipers love piping at weddings but nothing brings us more happiness than standing in the middle of our local football team Aberdeen FC playing our pipes for thousands of Dons fans.
We always arrive 1 hour ahead of the planned ceremony time. This allows us to speak with staff, sort our uniform and tune our bagpipes ahead of playing for guest arrival.
We pipe 99% of the time outside in the rain and on some occasions, thunder & lighting..
Clients can certainly request specific music they wish to hear or not hear and we will endeavour to learn a tune if prior notice is given.
Previous customers have said we have made the day extra special and we have been outstanding & professional.
