About Iain

Experienced Highland bagpiper offering professional, well-presented performances for events across the UK.
Bagpiper
Northampton
Public liability insurance of £10 million

With over 10 years of bagpiping experience, I bring the unmistakable sound of the Great Highland Bagpipe to events across central U.K. and beyond. Having performed with three established pipe bands, I’ve built a strong reputation for reliability, musicality, and professionalism at a wide range of occasions — from weddings and corporate events to memorials, parades, and private celebrations. I take great pride in producing a rich, well-tuned sound, ensuring every performance is both stirring and enjoyable. My tuning and tone have developed considerably over the years, and I’m dedicated to delivering a performance that does justice to the tradition and spirit of the pipes. I can perform in full Highland dress uniform or No. 2 day uniform, tailored to suit the style and tone of your event. Based in the Midlands, I’m happy to travel across the UK at minimal additional cost. Whether you’re looking for a moving solo performance, a grand entrance, or the perfect musical tribute, I’ll provide a professional, memorable experience that captures the heart of Scottish tradition.

Just wanted to say thanks for getting us a piper at such short notice. The piper was brilliant and a great Burns night was had by all. All the best.

There was some confusion by the undertakers but your performance more than made up for it.. thank you.

I can offer: pipe for guest arrival, pipe in haggis, address haggis if you wish, pipe haggis back to kitchen. All with full no. 1 uniform including Dirk/dagger for haggis’s address theatrics if wanted. That is all I have done in the past but am flexible should you want anything else eg extra sets during dinner or service.
