Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

No problem.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

No n/a

How much time do you need to set up?

5-10 minutes

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Yes indeed. I specialise in tradition Scottish bagpipe music. If a tune can't be played on our 9 note scale then I will be honest and say so.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Again, if pieces can't be played satisfactorily I'll be honest and say so.

What do your clients love most about your performances?

My professionalism and attention to detail. I like to make sure my instrument is as in tune as possible at all times.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

My most notable venue has been the Stade de France many years ago. Over the past 20 years I have played at many notable wedding venues throughout Scotland.

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

My piping teachers.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

I tend to play at "normal" sized venues. I have played at Hampden Park in Glasgow

Very impressed with George, played for my wedding and we were not disappointed. Even during the heavy rain our piper was professional and our guests loved it.

Hired George to pipe for us on our wedding day, could not have been happier with our choice. This man is a consummate professional, a skilled piper and a top man to deal with. Would absolutely recommend him!
