I am very flexible in what I do in order to provide the most suitable and smooth service to you that I can. Hence, if your timings change slightly after you have booked, simply let me know.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
This is not required for a Solo Piper.
How much time do you need to set up?
Minimal time is required for setting up; this can vary depending on the kind of event.
Simply somewhere to tune up my pipes is all I need.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, I bring all equipment required for my performances.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
