Bagpiper

London

Hello, my name is Andrew Robling, I’m 34 and I am a serving soldier and piper in the Royal Corps of Signals. I have been playing bagpipes for around 15 years and have received class 3 and class 2 piper’s course qualifications from The Army School of Bagpipe Music and Highland Drumming. Whilst at the school I was briefly taught by the Queen's Piper. I have played with the Ringwood pipe band, been taught by the London Scottish pipe band and have been with the Royal Corps of signals pipes and drums since January 2018.

Incredible bagpiper! Arrived super early, really efficient communication, made life so easy that even my husband managed to organise without me getting involved!! Thanks so much Andrew for playing at our wedding :)

Superb! I found the initial communication very easy, Andrew listened to what I was looking for and willing to discuss. On arrival, it was clear Andrew was fully engaged and enthused to help create an experience for the event. Finally, the piping was excellent, high quality with a great selection of tunes. Having Andrew play added a memorable finishing touch to the evening. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic evening's piping in between courses. Haggis piped in and address to the Haggis performed well. Well turned out, confident and very competent piper. Would recommend and hire again!

Had a wonderful Burns night at Kew Gardens hotel. The evening was made special by a super young piper (Andrew Robling) who not only completed the formalities such as piping in the haggis and reading the address but later chatted to everyone and played requests. A great musician and entertainer.
