Forestpiper

About

Great Highland Bagpiper located in Central MS that plays for weddings, funerals, parties, ceremonies, parades and memorials. I play traditional Celtic music as well as sacred and folk tunes.

What to Expect

Typical Gig Duration: 10 - 120 minutes

Depending on the age of the audience, they can expect either all playing tunes or some interaction 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. If a wedding, I will require a small deposit to hold the date on my planner, and will work with the bride/wedding planner to make sure my part of the ceremony goes without flaw. 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.

Additional 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 should be required.

Set/Song/Sequence 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.
