Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
Our clients love our high-energy, tongue-in-cheek performances that fuse the Great Highland Bagpipes with classic rock. Our unique style, charisma, and world-class musicianship stand out, ensuring an unforgettable experience.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
We've performed at a wide variety of venues, from the Hard Rock Café in Edinburgh to the SECC in Glasgow, and international locations like the Scottish Club in Kyiv, Ukraine, and the St. Andrew's Society in Kuala Lumpur.
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
While we draw inspiration from the traditional sounds of Scotland, our unique sound and style have been influenced by a range of rock bands, and notably by Gregor's previous stint as the guitarist for the Red Hot Chilli Pipers.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
We've performed at a host of high-profile gigs, including the Glasgow Commonwealth Games 2014 and numerous prestigious corporate events. We've impressed personalities such as Simon Cowell and Ex-President Donald Trump with our performances.
Do you have different line-up options?
Yes, our standard line-up is a trio featuring a frontman/guitarist, a grade-one piper, and a marching snare drummer. Occasionally, for larger stages, we can add two professional female dancers to the performance.
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
We understand that event timings can change and we're highly flexible. However, please let us know as soon as possible to ensure we can adjust our schedules accordingly.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
Absolutely, our frontman "G-Man" takes care of DJ services before and between sets. This is included in our packages.
How much time do you need to set up?
To ensure the best performance, we like to have a set-up time of at least an hour before the event. This allows us to check our equipment and acclimate to the venue.
Can you roam around while you perform?
Given the nature of our act and the instruments involved, our performance is typically stage-based. However, our pipers and drummer can perform meet-and-greets and other interactive parts of the event.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
Our performances are specially curated to provide the best entertainment experience. However, we're open to discussing any specific song preferences you may have.
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
Yes, our quote includes all necessary equipment, such as PA system and lighting. Our aim is to make the event as seamless as possible for you.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
We pride ourselves on our ability to entertain and are always open to learning song requests. However, we ask for sufficient notice to ensure we can give the song the Bag Rockers treatment!
