Where it all began!

It was here that I was taught the basics and developed my passion for the Great Highland Bagpipe. I spent many happy years with this band learning my craft and travelling around the country to play with the band.

• 1 Jun 2019Andy was fantastic! Easy to communicate with prior to our wedding, arrived on time in his full attire and played some wonderful tunes as the guests arrived at the church! He then piped me to the entrance of the church playing Highland Cathedral. All the guests loved it too. Thank you so much Andy!!
- How long do you play for?Most requirements for a piper are for short performances during certain parts of the events. Due to the volume of the instrument, I wouldn't typically play for anymore than 10 minutes at a time.
- Do you have your own PA and lighting?PA and lighting isn't required for my act
- Do you have Public Liability Insurance and PAT tested equipment?I am fully insured
- How much space do you require?Just a room to get changed in at most. Not always required and dependant on the job type
- My favourite tune is not on your list. Will you be able to play it?Given enough notice and if it is a piece that can be played properly on the pipes, then yes.
