We had a fantastic time celebrating my wife's 30 birthday thanks to the Bagpipes played by Scottish Bagpipes and Drums. I would highly recommend them at your next celebration. I especially enjoyed learning about the history of the bagpipes and the fact that the bagpipes played at our celebration were made in 1910.

The bagpiper (Harry Farrar) or Bagpipers and drummers can perform 100's of tunes. These are the standards for Scottish and Irish music. With decades of experience competing with bagpipe bands world wide and in the USA, and sole competitions and performances, Scottish Bagpipes & Drums is the best resource for talent and experience for your event.
Also the bagpipes can play other not traditional tunes like American Folk songs, Easter songs, Christmas carols, the National Anthem, many hymnals and in some cases "custom tunes". A popular example is having "Ode to Joy" for the recessional at a wedding.
Please be sure to avoid hiring a student piper or one with low experience. Nothing is more remembered at a wedding than a terrible bagpiper! Or a terribly dressed bagpiper! Choose Scottish Bagpipes & Drums!
