I will work with you behind the scenes to tailor make what I can offer to best suit your needs.

Happy to learn tunes if unknown.
15 Minutes before performance to be made available in order to be tuned up.
No we don’t provide sound and lighting equipment.
Location, Time and Point of Contact.
We don’t normally but we are happy to help out where needed
We prefer to have all payments settled just before or on the day. We provide top notch service and don’t want to be chasing you while you’re sipping cocktails on the beach ☺️
I have performed at many state level occasions such as the Queens Funeral and also the Edinburgh Millitay Tattoo Lone Piper, an extremely proud moment in my piping career to date.
Alasdair Gillies - one of the most prestigious pipers of all times and I am now great friends with his son also.
Asked through word of mouth and recommendations to play at weddings and the reputation has grown since then.
I Love full weddings where I can throw myself into proper character and bring happiness and great entertainment at a professional level to special days, the smiles and photos say all.
Arrive a good hour - 1.5Hrs before to get the feel for the venue and not out any more information that may be needed on the day and to be there in good time and manner.
Yes more than happy to play inside and outside in all weather if required.
We do ask if there is anything tune wise that we can entertain we have had some “wonderful” requests in the past, if we can do it we will.
Professional, friendly and nothing is too hard approach with great communication.
Yes you can but we will go to work and find out if it is doable on the bagpipes as not all songs are due to the limitations of the Pipe Chanter
