Bonnet & Bearskin

We are a father & son piper & drummer, who pride ourselves on providing a smart, reliable unique service. We have both been honoured to have previously been invited to perform with the 1st Bn Scots Guards Pipes & Drums at various high profile prestigious events including: - Playing for HM Queen during Royal Week in Edinburgh, when the Scots Guards were mounting the Royal Guard (2019) - Playing at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo (2008 & 2018) - Playing on Jools Holland's Hootenanny Show (2018 & 2019) - Playing on the Household Division Beating Retreat (2016) We both pride ourselves on our immaculate presentation, and always conduct ourselves with military discipline and bearing, ensuring that every event is given the same diligent attention to detail Having performed with such an esteemed Regiment in front of HM Queen, you can be assured that we will not disappoint at your event As a serving army reservist, I feel that we can offer a more military disciplined service to any corporate or private event, regardless of grandeur Being members of the Scots Guards Association Pipes & Drums, we feel that we are always representing the Regiment when performing in public, so conduct ourselves accordingly, and always turn out in Scots Guards full regimental dress uniform Our previous clients tend to agree that our unique presentation brings far more gravitas to any event - as opposed to how some pipers turn up wearing day wear (jacket and waistcoat) - plus, we can usually provide 2 musicians for the price of 1!!! I've been piping for 38 years now and my son has been pipe band drumming for 8yrs, although he's also played a drum kit for 9yrs At 15yrs old, he reached the top level Grade 8 in kit drumming, and also achieved a 4th place, in his category, at the World Solo Drumming Championships on the pipe band snare drum.
