What if my timings change after I've booked you?
I will always be flexible to ensure your event runs smoothly.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
I do not provide these services.
How much time do you need to set up?
I require a room or area to tune the bagpipes for 30 minutes before event start time.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
I mainly play traditional bagpipe tunes. However, I will learn a new requested tune if given enough time and it is compatible with the bagpipes.

Yes, I have my own bagpipes and will wear Highland Dress.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
If given enough notice I can learn tunes that aren’t on my set list and that they are compatible with the bagpipes.
