About these Bagpipers

Picture the scene, a beautiful bride elegantly steps out of a gleaming Rolls Royce and makes her way towards the church to marry her beloved. A bagpiper is performing traditional melodies outside the church setting the perfect mood for the big day. Clothed in full highland dress, bagpipers perform an assortment of traditional Scottish songs as well as well-known songs such as ‘amazing grace’.

Many couples choose to hire a bagpiper to perform during the ceremony whilst they sign the marriage register then also to entertain guests whilst pictures are being taken. If you’re unsure what you would like the piper to perform or where, have them advise you on what might work best. Professional pipers will have years of experience performing at private functions so will be able to give great advice.

For those who have little to no experience in bagpipes, it can sometimes be hard to determine the proficiency of the piper. Many also have various titles, which can give the impression they are a cut above the rest.  Unfortunately this is not always the case so research carefully to make sure they’re the right choice for your event. Professional bagpipers will have a previous clients and repertoire list which will give you a better idea as to the bagpipers abilities.

By booking your entertainment through an agency, you can rest easy in the knowledge that if anything were to go wrong, both the musician and the audience will be legally protected. Public liability insurance is an obligation for every band and musician signed up to the Last Minute Musicians agency, this is also the case for up to date PAT testing on all electrical equipment.

By booking a bagpiper to perform for your event you will be adding to the already wonderful atmosphere and giving your guests an experience they will not soon be forgetting.
