Bagpiper

Scotland, UK

I have been playing the bagpipes for 10 years, and am experienced in performing at a wide range of events, ranging from weddings to corporate events, or funerals. I consider myself a competent player, and hiring me will add the finishing touches to your event, making it that extra bit special. In addition to performing regularly in different settings, I have also played in pipe bands from an early age, travelling around the country to different competitions, including the European and World Championships. I am experienced in a wide range of contexts, and if you have any questions about anything please don't hesitate to ask. I will tailor my performance to your needs.

Thanks again Owain for being a great addition to our event, worth every penny!

Owain, I would like to thank you very much for attending the Lord Provost’s Burns Supper, to pipe in guests and the Haggis! Feedback received from the night has been exceptional and you had a large part to play in that. Thank you!
