Dean Saunders Piper Full time, professional Bagpiper - UK & International

No technical requirement for solo bagpipes. For dance music piping, may require a DJ or bands PA equipment for backing tracks, however I do have my own PA as well if required.

Yes for dance music piping I provide this

Just the address of the venue

If required, I can provide this yes.

Ohhh that’s a great question! If I don’t say my own wedding, I’m sure the Mrs will have something to say about that! Apart from that, I have performed on TV on a few occasions and those are always pretty cool gigs!

A bit of a tricky question for someone who plays a traditional instrument! However, I would say that piping wise, there was a piper called Gordon Duncan who was an incredible player. Non piping wise, I’d have to say I do love Elton John!

I have performed at over 1000 weddings, 750 funerals and probably just as many corporate gigs! I’ve been doing this full time for 6 years now but have been playing at gigs for the last 18 years. I started at weddings and then branched out into other areas. Burns nights, Hogmanay etc!

Traditional wise - probably Scotland the brave because who doesn’t know and recognise it!
Contemporary wise - I do like playing can you feel the love tonight
Dance music wise - can’t beat a bit of fireball by Pitbull!

Yes, 100%. I work with you and give my advice and recommendations on what songs work well and when

Has to be mince and potatoes!

Normally arrive 30 mins before my allocated timing. Get the pipes tuned and then get ready do start playing as per the agreed package!

Yes, absolutely

I work with my clients to build a set list that reflects their day and what they would like me to play. So yes, clients can choose what I play and when

Previous clients would describe my performances as heartwarming, relaxed and engaging

Yes absolutely. A bespoke package can be created for you and for your event. No wedding or event is ever the same so why should you be stuck with a package that isn’t flexible
