May 23, 2020He was great
Charlie was great, right on time and a great personality. We had a great time and he played any requests we had, even pomp’s and c for the graduate. If I could give him one suggestion, it would be to change his socks to a one color, either gray or green to match his kilt. I would certainly use him again if the occasion arises.

Gig length: 10 - 90 minutes

What to expect
All appearances in Kilt uniform unless otherwise requested.
FUNERAL AT THE CEMETERY: Piper is stationed by the graveside, and begins as Cars pull up to park. Pipes continue until casket/ urn is placed.
Piping resumes AFTER the committal service, as family & friends place flowers / holy water on the final resting place. We Coordinate with US Military Honor Guard teams.
FUNERAL AT THE CEREMONY- Pipes work best outside.
I suggest pipes outside as a closing to the Ceremony, as a bookend to the service.
VIEWINGS: Unfortunately, due to noise regulations, we can no longer do lengthy stretches of piping at the viewing as guests wait in line. It is far too loud to pipe inside for an extended period.
AT THE WEDDING: Outside Before and/or after the Ceremony,
PROcessional &/or REcessional on request.
PIPE-O-GRAM: Just a few songs to mark the occasions: birthday, anniversaries, etc. 10 minutes.
CORPORATE * SPORTS * RECORDING * EVENTS * PROMOTIONS
UILLEANN PIPES: the true Bagpipe of Ireland. An INDOOR bagpipe. OUTDOORS Weather permitting; Piper wears suit. Must be seated to perform. Have Uilleann either solo or with keyboard accomp.
