About / Biography

With 12 years of experience, I bring the rich, emotional sound of the bagpipes to weddings, funerals, Burns Nights, military ceremonies, and private celebrations across the UK and beyond. I was taught by renowned piper Keith Bowes Jr., and as a member of the Renfrewshire Schools Pipe Band, our pipers came first for our grade at the 2019 World Pipe Band Championships.

For the past four years, I’ve performed professionally at a wide range of events, from intimate family gatherings to grand celebrations. Whether leading a bride down the aisle, honoring a loved one’s memory, or kicking off a party in true Scottish style, I tailor my playing to fit the moment. One of my favorite performances was piping a newlywed couple out of their ceremony to their favorite song—learning it specially for them made it all the more meaningful.

Clients appreciate my professionalism, warm approach, and dedication to making their event special. Whether you’re looking for a stirring entrance, a powerful farewell, or a unique touch to your gathering, I’m here to bring the unmistakable voice of the bagpipes to your occasion.

Dressed in full Highland attire, I’m ready to add the perfect musical touch to your event. Get in touch, and let’s make it unforgettable.
