Bagpiper Extraordinaire!

Danne is the consummate professional, yet warm and approachable. He played for our guests as they were arriving for our wedding outside, and was greeted with smiles. He played as my husband and the best man came in, then played for our recessional.
We invited him to join us for the reception, and he charmed the table and our other guests with his wit. I highly recommend him for any event that you may have need for a bagpiper. :-)

A Wonderful Experience!

I recently hired Danne to play at my wedding ceremony. He did a fantastic job! I couldn't have asked for anything better. The level and quality of his talent is truly breath taking. He had great communication with us and was very punctual. I would give him my highest recommendation.

Experienced and Focused

Danne performed at my Mother's funeral and did an excellent job. He was there early warming up and that set the stage perfectly. He played the songs we asked and struck the balance of being present enough while still being in the background. Danne was very easy to work with and a friendly guy. I gladly refer him to others.

About

Danne Farrell started learning to play the bag pipes in September 1994 with the "Caledonian Pipes and Drums of Buffalo". He purchased his first set of bag pipes in February 1997 and became a full-member with the band in May of that year. Danne played with the Caledonian Pipes and Drums from 1997 until September of 2008 when he switched over to the very talented and innovative pipe band "Celtic Spirit". Danne has played for numerous funerals and weddings and is at the top of the calling list for many funeral directors in Erie/Niagara Counties. His military-type playing style and presentation has earned him top placement at many funeral homes when families are looking for a bag piper.
