Description
I am a Highland Piper based in South East England, and have been performing with my Bagpipes at various events since the tender age of 10. I started to learn the Bagpipes back in 1978 and 1st performed a nervous solo at a wedding at Aylesford church. I am the Pipe Sergeant within the City Of Rochester Pipe Band, who are also available for functions and events.

• Feb. 15, 2019"I cannot recommend Ivan enough, from the moment I contacted him he was fabulous.
I booked him for a funeral. He was respectful and very professional at all times. He was flexible with our music choices and most importantly played the most wonderful pipe music."

• Jan. 25, 2019"Wow! Fantastic! A last minute booking for a small dinner party surprise; Ivan fitted us in on Burns Night somehow. He really is a superstar - just as much entertainer as Piper. Can't recommend him highly enough.
