About / Biography

Thank you for your interest - I have been playing Highland Pipes for around 30 years and found my way into piping because of my love of Celtic / Traditional music. I have played for many clients over the years at venues all over the south east, including Rochester Cathedral, Leeds Castle etc etc. I have played at corporate events, private parties and functions of all sorts. I play in pipe bands, but solo playing is my forte. I am a very sociable person and many of my clients have become personal friends. I always pay attention to what is required and asked for in terms of the musical performance that I give. I am always happy to speak to anyone who has questions or needs advice on this amazing instrument and the Hilland Dress, etc
