Wedding Bagpipers for hire in Rutland
Latest reviews of our Wedding Bagpipers in Rutland
"Rob turned our very informal family party celebrating my Scottish Mum's 100th birthday at The Falcon Hotel, into the most spectacular and highly memorable occasion for everyone. Rob's thrilling playing created such an awesome atmosphere in the warm, oak-panelled room we were almost transported to a castle somewhere the Scottish Highlands. Rob's excellent performance was later superbly complimented by his talented son, Dylan, who accompanied Rob on his drum.This musical combination added a whole new exciting dimension to the performance. I'd asked Rob if he and Dylan might let guests, especially the children see the pipes and drum at close-hand. They both engaged so easily with them all throughout the hour, alternately playing, then chatting with them about the mechanics of the instruments another. Dylan let guests (and my Mum!) to their delight, try out drum-playing themselves and Rob dismantled and discussed aspects of the pipes for interested guests. They kept everybody entertained and made a strong impression on all the guests, two in particular. A seemingly uninterested young teenager later described the guys as "cool" to his friends and my 2 yr old grandson still often walks around with a cushion under his arm 'playing the pipes' and calling himself the "Hoot Toot Man" Mum, like many of the guests is still 'floating on a cloud' as they made her so happy.What a wonderful time everyone had thanks to Rob and Dylan!"
LYN hired Rob Muir for a Birthday party (available in Rutland)
"The band arrived in plenty of time to set up despite poor weather. They played extremely well and the sound easily filled the space. The caller was very encouraging for those with less experience and also explained the dances clearly, but and we had a wide range of dances to suit different levels of mobility. The whole evening they were faultless and I had several people ask for their details. I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning an event. "

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Can any bagpiper play my favourite song?
Professional bagpipers will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that bagpipers may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the bagpiper's song list on their Encore profile.
How much time do bagpipers take to set up?
Your bagpiper will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the bagpiper prior to their arrival.
My venue has asked for the performerโs PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?
PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our bagpipers are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to ยฃ10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our bagpipers will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
