About / Biography

Experienced bagpiper able to play a wide variety of Celtic music and any other type if requested. The bagpipes are an iconic instrument that when played well can only add to the gravity and emotion to any event, which is why they are so often turned to for Weddings, Funerals, sporting events, and performances. Whatever the occasion I will be able to add an authentic Scottish flavour to proceedings.
