Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
The bagpipes offer a unique experience when heard, my years of piping allow me to best utilise their power, and provide you with a performance best suited for your event.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
I played in Windsor Castle for the late Queen Elizabeth II
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
This is dealt with on a case by case basis, with any luck there will be no issue, however it will depend on the days involved.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
N/A
How much time do you need to set up?
It will usually take about 5 minutes to tune, and get ready.
Can I pick the pieces you play from the set list?
Absolutely, if there are any tunes not on the list feel free to ask for it, I may know it.
Do you bring all the equipment you need to perform?
Yes, everything needed is brought by myself.
Can you learn specific pieces before the event?
If a tune isn't in the song list I may know it, however it is £20 for me to learn a new tune for your event.
