Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
My guaranteed reliable quality performance.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
Gardens, Restaurants, Halls, Landmarks, Streets, Pubs, Fields.
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
John D Burgess, Stuart Liddell, Fred Morrison, Donald MacLeod, Gordon Duncan, Callum Beaumont, Gordon Walker.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
THE GRALLOCH - International Gravel Biking Race; I played as the overall winners of the men's and the women's races walked onto their podiums. I was advertising a bicycle shop by wearing one of their t-shirts instead of my full gear.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
Just let us know as soon as you can and I'll see what I can do, there is a chance that I may not be able to do your different time, especially as I am a full time university student.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
No, this is not a feature of my performance.
How much time do you need to set up?
Ten minutes to tune up my drones and get the pipes sounding good for you, no amplification is required and I come in uniform.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Feel free to choose any of the sets I play
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, absolutely. It's all in my box and on my back.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
You are welcome to suggest a song for me to learn for the event but please keep in mind that it can take time for a tune to be learnt well. I will charge an extra £30 if you request a tune/set which I am previously unfamiliar with and there may be some tunes which I will not learn.
