Bagpiper

Bradford

Public liability insurance of £1 million

Established Competition Bagpiper. I have dedicated over 36 years in pursuit of excellence which is reflected in both musicianship and professionalism. Currently competing with the LA Scot’s Pipe Band from Los Angeles California. I take my piping seriously and Client satisfaction is my top priority, communication is key to understanding my clients requirements and I enjoy finding ways to ensure their needs are met. I have a wide selection of tunes you can chose from, however with notice, I am happy to learn and adapt music to fit the bagpipes if possible. Numerous TV appearances in France and the UK performing on the Eurovision Song Contest, Le Monde est a Vu (France) and GMTV plus numerous local radio shows. The bagpipes are a very difficult instrument to play and there are too many under performing pipers out there, please have a listen to my audio files and videos and do your comparisons. There is nothing worse than a poorly played bagpipe. You deserve the best for your event, you know the saying, you’ve tried the rest now……….. I look forward to hearing from you. Andrew

Andrew after many years of us asking, joined the band for our trip to the World Pipe band Championships. His ability, his personality and his musicianship is second to none and we look forward to welcoming him back for 2024

We hired Andrew to play at our recent charity event at Headlands Hall, Andrew was impeccably dressed for the occasion and provided a most memorable performance which I’m delighted to say the guests all enjoyed, Prior to the event Andrew popped in to discuss the detail (living locally ) and his communication really was second to none. bravo Andrew, we look forward to booking you for future events at the Hall.
