September 30, 2022James was a hit!
I was so excited to book James for my husband’s 50th Birthday party especially since he had played at our wedding 21 years ago. James was great and a big hit with the guests! I highly recommend James! He is a fantastic bagpiper and a super nice guy.

Gig length: 30 - 120 minutes
What to expect
Professionalism at all times. Expert service planning your event, with an eye for detail. I always deliver what I promise,and then try to give just a little more. I play (link hidden)ill bagpipes as they are the Best in the world, providing a pitch perfect tune everytime. I will arrive properly dressed and will require a few minutes of time to warm up and tune the instrument. I am very flexable and can accomodate almost any request.
Additional booking notes
Bagpipes are completly self contained and mobile. However, please keep in mind, if I'm playing outside I can tune up outside, BUT if playing inside I must be able to tune up inside.
