About / Biography

Brad is a skilful, energetic musician who has been playing the bagpipes from a very young age. Originally he was a Premier Highland Dancer competing at national level and took to the pipes through love of the Scottish tradition. He has played the piano since the age of 4 attaining distinction at grade 8 and used his musical knowledge and capability to become an accomplished solo piper.

He will also play for family funerals, large corporate events, burns nights as well as any other family celebrations such as birthdays and anniversaries.
