as great you were able to come and pipe for us at Gemma and Harry’s wedding. You were wonderful and all our guests from the south of England loved having a piper there for the day. We are very grateful you were free and able to have your first wedding gig with us!

Customer questions

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

for the bagpipes, I will need at least 30 minutes to tune so if the timings change not a problem, but would be easier if told in advance.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

How much time do you need to set up?

At least 30 minutes but ideally 1 hour to look around the venue.

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

I will have a good idea of what to play depending on what the occasion is. I'm definitely happy to chat through and make sure we find what works for your event.

Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?

Yes

Can you learn specific pieces before the event?

Yes, but i will need to be told at least 2 weeks in advance!
