Very Professional and Timely Communication

Richard was very professional and made booking a breeze. He played for my father’s funeral, and we are grateful that he was able to make the day special. It was my father’s wish to have a bagpiper, and Richard helped his wish to be realized. He worked directly with our pastor to relieve stress on our end. Thanks to Richard for providing a wonderful service during the very difficult time!

What to expect

I will come in a Dress Kilt, very formal.
If you are having a wedding, I can "play you down the aisle after the ceremony is complete"
If a funeral, I can play Amazing Grace from afar, and walk into the ceremony which tends to be dramatic.
I can work with you to add any flourishes you wish

About

I have been playing the Great Highland Pipes for about 30 years. I have played at weddings, funerals, and other occasions. Some folks want a simple "Amazing Grace" and other folks want a wedding march. I have played at Anniversaries, and Birthdays.

Additional booking notes

I have no requirements, other than I require shade if I am playing in the summer sun
