Tim Eastwood Wales Border Bagpiper

Experienced bagpiper playing not only the Highland pipes but also the more folky border pipes, smallpipes, Welsh and English pipes plus others. I specialise in bringing the music you need to various pipes. I can play the traditional Highland tunes on Highland pipes, I can bring you various folk pipes from Wales, England, Brittany and elsewhere, I can adapt your favourite music onto various pipes for the exact right sound for your event. I have performed at both nationally and privately owned castles, the National Eisteddfod, National Theatre Wales, BBC Radio, civic, commercial and private functions. I have a number of suitable outfits, either traditional Highland dress, period historical clothes or a smart modern folk musician look. I can tailor my sound and look to suit your needs. If you want Welsh folk music, English folk music, Breton, Scottish lowland folk music, Scottish Highland music, French, Flemish and Dutch or a mix of each then I'm the piper for the job. I also play traditional folk style violin. I started playing music when I was a teenager, fell in love with folk and various folk instruments at the time, playing guitar, fiddle, mandolin, Irish Bouzouki, bass and tin whistle. After a number of years I had progressed to folk style bagpipes and have been playing pipes at sessions and in gigs for 10 years, since then I have concentrated more and more on pipes specifically and these days I try to spend three hours or more (if I have eight hours I'll practice for eight hours!) a day practicing and playing for fun as well as for gigs, celebrations and events.
