Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
I can tailor my performances to suit the event. I can be however formal or informal you like which means you can be sure that your event will go as smoothly as possible.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
I have performed in many different venues all around the world. From small, intimate Burns Suppers in bars to performing in Galicia in front of a huge crowd of people on the main stage of a music festival.
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
I take influence from many pipers and pipe bands, from the traditional style of bagpipes, right though to modern day pipers, and even 'Pipe Band Pop' from bands like the Red Hot Chilli Pipers who I've been lucky enough to appear on stage with at a local concert.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
I think that every gig I've done is as important as each the rest, whether it be a small birthday party, a huge wedding or a massive televised performance, I treat every gig with the same respect and give the best service I can.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
Just let me know and I'll check my diary.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
No, due to the nature of my gigs this is not something I offer.
How much time do you need to set up?
I require 15 mins for tuning - this is not included in the time that I charge for. ie. If you hire me from 1.30, I'll be there at 1.15 to tune up and you won't be charged for this time.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
You can! And if you have any requests, feel free to ask and I'll do my best.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, me and my pipes... Trust me, they don't need amplified!
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
I can! Just ask and I'll see what I can do.
