Customer questions
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
You can let me know of any timing changes.On most occasions it will not be an issue but if I am unable to accommodate the new times, I will ensure that a colleague is in place to be with you on the same terms.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
I am sorry, this is not something I offer.
How much time do you need to set up?
5 minutes to get the pipes tuned up and I am ready to go. I always turn up in number 2 uniform ready to go.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
You can have your choice of music from anything you like whether traditional or modern. If it fits on the range of the pipes, I can generally do it and am happy to learn new pieces of music as long as I have at least a couple of weeks notice. I have played all things traditional as well as many modern tunes/songs
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes I do.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
Absolutely. If it fits on the range of the pipes I will learn it given at least 2 weeks notice. I will share videos of the piece of music directly with you before the event to make sure you ar happy with it as well.
