June 23, 2026Excellent Performance!
Richard played Highland Cathedral on the bagpipes at our son’s wedding as the bride walked down to the area where the wedding was held. She and her family are Irish and the groom wanted to surprise her with the playing of the bagpipes. Richard was easy to communicate with, professional and on time. He did a great job and plays the bagpipes beautifully.

Booking information
Price range: $225-325, depending upon time spent at your event
Languages: English
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
