I am Piper Major Gary Thomson, an award winning Bagpiper from East Kilbride. I have many years of experience playing the Bagpipes offering a friendly, professional service personally suited to you for any event.
Gary was simply brilliant, he could not have been more helpful! He arrived early, played fantastically and was a delight. Would recommend him to anyone!
From the first initial contact with Gary he has been great, it was beautiful hearing you playing and I would certainly recommend you to any future bride.
It was an honour for Gary to join us on our big day at Cornhill Castle in Biggar. Gary played all of our favourite tracks and the guests loved interacting with him. It was a special welcome from a gifted piper. A big thank you to the professionalism he displayed on the day and the top quality service he provided. A special thank you to Gary’s wife Margaret who sorted my plaid before I walked down the aisle. It’s a day we won’t forget and I hope everyone who attended enjoyed it as much as we did. All the best for the future Gary ! David and Sarah x

Fantastic made our day extra special
Gary exceeded our expectations by far! He's a very talented, professional and friendly individual and he made our day all the more special. Our guests really enjoyed listening to Gary playing the bagpipes, as did we. We would highly recommend him for any event.
Gary was brilliant, made our booking effortless as he knew exactly what we needed and was both brilliant and professional, a pleasure to deal with and would highly recommend him to others
I booked Gary thinking my aunts party would be great. It was more than I could have ever dreamed. Her favourite band is ABBA, well, Gary went above and beyond and played a few tunes on the pipes which blew everyone's mind. My aunt had the time of her life and will remember this forever. Can't thank Gary enough. Also Margaret who even helped cut the cake. Thank you ever so much. I will definitely book Gary again.
Gary is an excellent bagpiper and played for an hour before our wedding. He piped us back down the ailse and afterwards. He is a very friendly man who agreed to lots of photographs with us. He phoned us 2-3 weeks before our wedding to discuss our plans. I would definitely recommend Gary.
Gary was fantastic. Very friendly, flexible of what music we wanted and when, punctual and never missed a note. It made the beginning of our wedding very special. Five out of five thank you Gary!
We booked Gary for my Dads funeral. My Dad was Scottish but moved to Barrow-in-Furness a lot of years ago but still kept in touch with his family and Scottish roots, so we felt it only right that a Scottish piper played at his funeral. The arrangements and communication from start to finish was very efficient. It’s a long journey to travel and we appreciate that very much. Gary did my Dad proud playing Amazing Grace and walking in front of the hearse. Everyone commented on how good he was. Note perfect. A sad day made the best it could by Gary, thank you very much would highly recommend.
This was my husbands best man and his wife with Gary, he was so smart and as half my wedding was Irish they loved the piper being there. It made our day that little bit more special and i would highly recommend Gary to family and friends if they needed a piper.
One of the best pipers we've ever had at our events, such a nice guy! Great communication, arrived early, looked and sounded fantastic! Look no further, highly recommended!
Gary was great. Very professional & friendly man. He played at my mums 80th birthday BBQ on Saturday. Everyone loved the pipe music & he was happy to play requests and wasn’t in a rush to leave. Will definitely use Gary again and will recommend to friends.
Gary was fantastic and did everything asked of him a total professional from start to finish.
