Bagpipers for hire in Southend-on-Sea
Latest reviews of our Bagpipers in Southend-on-Sea

"Andrew was fantastic! An absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Prompt comms and flexible to what we needed, we had a pre-call the week before our son’s wedding which he took time to explain everything he was able to do and agree the best tunes. On the day he turned up with plenty of time to spare and made sure he was clear of the layout and the plan for our entrance as the groom’s parents. Our entrance was an absolute highlight and although there were only a few Scots at the wedding, the whole crowd loved it! So many positive comments afterwards… well done Andrew. Would definitely book again 🏴"

FAQs about hiring Bagpipers in Southend-On-Sea
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 performer’s 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 £10 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.
