Zoe Brumfield, the forest piper
Overview
Want to add that special touch of the unmistakeable sound of the bagpipes to your event? I am an experienced lady bagpiper located in Central Mississippi, and I travel around the state and surrounding states for funerals, weddings, memorial services, special events, surprise birthday parties, educational presentations, church programs and presentations, children's activities and the like. I have been playing since 2002 and am available on short notice if necessary. A lot goes into providing this unique experience to your event, so contact me to add that lovely sound of the pipes to your gathering. I arrive dressed in Scottish attire to add an additional special touch to the performance.

June 30, 2025Amazing and Unforgettable!
The performance of "Amazing Grace" at our wedding was nothing short of breathtaking. It was an incredibly special moment for my dad to hear the melody played on the bagpipes as he was walking me down the aisle. It was powerful, unforgettable, and special. Ms. Brumfield was so kind and excited for me. She complimented my wedding dress and made me feel so special. I am honored to have had her play in my wedding.

Thank you for the kind review, Mallory! It was indeed a pleasure to play for you, especially since it was a surprise for your dad. That makes it extra special. God bless you and Mason in your future life together and may He direct your every step of the way forward.

May 10, 2024Ms Zoe Brumfield did an outstanding job for us!
She did everything we asked hoer to do and very accommodating. We even invited her to the after dinner and she delighted us with further music. She felt like one of the family! very moving experience!

Booking information
Price range: $250-$450 depending on event location
Languages: English
Gig length: 10 - 40 minutes
What to expect
Depending on the age of the audience, they can expect either playing tunes the entire time, or some dialogue between the audience and myself. If it is a performance at a school or library, there will be more monologue explaining the tunes, the instrument and the Scottish attire. If a funeral, the family can expect me to be there 30 minutes ahead of the service, whereby I will tune, locate the ideal place to stand, arrange the order of service with the Color Guard, if present, and map out the exact place I will play when I perform the retreat. I will be dressed in full kilted attire. If a lighter, more jovial event, I will work with the planners to make the tunes and overall experience the most pleasing possible. For a party, I can play no more than two hours which will include water breaks. The soul-stirring sound of the pipes will certainly add that special flair to your event.
About
I am a Great Highland Bagpipe player located in the metro Central MS area that plays for funerals, memorials, birthday parties, ceremonies, private events, library and church events, and weddings. I play traditional Celtic music as well as sacred and folk tunes. I can fit the music into your event, depending on the scope of the overall request. Somber or light hearted, the pipes fit a variety of events. I can come at nearly a moment's notice depending on distance travelled. It should be understood that certain weather conditions hinder the full effect of the music as well as length of the event. The fee is for the event, not the time played, as it is a service, one tune or many. It should be noted that not all tunes can be played on the pipes, as it is an instrument with a limited 9 notes on an ancient scale, so some requests cannot be honored.
Additional booking notes
Be reminded that weather and room temperature greatly affect the tuning of the instrument, so the timing of the performance in relation to the entire event duration, should be considered. It is possible that a separate area for tuning would be required. If I am asked to play at the beginning and end of a long event, I cannot guarantee that the tuning will hold past 30 minutes, but that is the norm for this instrument.

Set list
I play a number of Scottish, Irish, some American, Sacred, Gospel and contemporary tunes as well as those heard at the various military events. Some children's tunes can also be performed. You can contact me directly for a detailed listing of tune titles.
Influences and inspiration
Hearing the bagpipes at a young age peaked my interest for this magnificent instrument. Though I did not start playing until many years later, the Scottish music has reached down and grabbed a hold of my heart and spirit. I hope to convey that love in my performances.
Setup requirements
No special equipment is required for the performance, unless a microphone is needed for the monologue that may be required at certain events.
