I'm Steve Christie better known as Stevie Bagpipes, originally from Edinburgh but now living in the North East of England.

I have played for and had affiliation with numerous bands over the years, The West Yorkshire Fire Service Pipe Band, The West Yorkshire Police Pipe Band and The Guards Depot Piping School to name a few. I also have the privileged of being the Official Professional Highland Piper for the Icon Bamburgh Castle and have played there for Public and Private events for the owners of the Castle. I was honored to be the Lone Piper at the Castle for the weekend celebrations of the Late Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee. Additionally I also played for King Charles the III Coronation Celebrations their back in May 2023. I am the Only Registered Highland Piper recommended by "The Wedding Guide UK" and was featured in their latest Magazine.

Customer questions

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

I am very flexibly and accommodating so I wouldn't foresee there being any issues.

How much time do you need to set up?

2 minutes

Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?

Yes you can select pieces from my set list but I have a vast amount of Piping tunes to my repertoire so if there is a Piping tune you would like and it is not listed ask me and if its playable on the Pipes and I don't already know it I will endeavor to learn it.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes if the specified tune is within the 9 note range of the Highland Bagpipes.

We had Stevie attend our wedding with his bagpipes and he was absolutely amazing, and we had so many guests comment how lovely and great he was! He played as our guests arrived at the church, played us out of the church and again played us into our wedding breakfast as well as doing a traditional toast! Stevie was very accommodating and a lovely chap to have at our wedding. We would recommend him to anyone thinking about having a bagpiper!
