Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
Rest assured I will only ever take one booking per day, so a slippage in schedule by a few hours can be easily absorbed.
If it's a change of day and I am unavailable, I have as resilience plan whereby I can check to see if my brother can substitute for me.
Early communication is key.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
No.
How much time do you need to set up?
I'm always punctual and will arrive well ahead of performance time to familiarise myself with the venue and ensure your requests are met.
The Great Highland Bagpipe takes about 15 minutes to warm up in a space well out of earshot of your event.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Yes, but I'm very much open to whatever suggestions you may have or maybe I can help find the right piece for you.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, completely self sufficient.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
As mentioned above, I'm happy to tailor the music to your needs. If it can be played on bagpipes, I can play it.
