St. Patrick’s Day Party

Patrick is a very talented piper. Such professionalism; from the first conversation with him on the phone, from song requests, to hearing him play. Patrick came by our home days before the event, to do a walkthrough with us. He was conscientious about understanding our vision and didn’t want to disappoint. Patrick arrived on time, and was sharply dressed. His music exceeded our expectations! Highly recommend booking Patrick. He was the hit of the Party!

Fantastic!

Hired to pipe on the curlers for the finals at the Broomstones Oktoberfest Open.
Easy to communicate with, came early to check out the facility and prepare to pipe on the ice.
Did a lovely job, and everyone was impressed.

Talented and Professional! Just Perfect!

Everything we wanted and more. Patrick was simply a pleasure to do business with. He was easy to reach. Confirmed by phone the night before. Took all our requests, and our schedule into consideration. Dressed so sharply and played wonderfully. Couldn’t have been happier! Thank you Patrick for making our 9/11 Tribute meaningful and appropriate.

Funeral for my retired military father

Patrick did an extraordinary job. He worked with our family to choose songs that were important to us and represented my father. He added in extra songs he felt would also fit, they were all perfect. His years of crafting his skill showed through his wonderful music. He helped calm guests and was absolutely incredible to work with. Patrick was accommodating and made things easy to plan, which was so very much appreciated during such difficult times. Would 100% recommend Patrick to anyone looking for an incredible musician, who also happens to be a wonderful person.

What to expect

I will always be early and prepared for your event. I bring a Celtic touch to your special day or memorial.
I wear traditional highland uniform and am impeccable in my appearance and sound.

About

I started piping at a very young age. I spent my youth competing in both the U.S. and Canada. I’ve taught for thirty years. I’ve performed on three albums and toured as a backup piper for the Dropkick Murphys.
I’ve performed hundreds of weddings, funerals, and events.
There are a lot of bad pipers out there. Do your homework when choosing one for your special event!

Additional booking notes

I need no special lighting or sound
