Overview

My name is Virginia Franklyn and I have been playing the bagpipes since 1996 and am based out of Colorado Springs. I have successfully competed both in solos and band settings throughout North America. I have experience playing for weddings, funerals, celebration of life services, birthdays, work functions, retirements, senior centers, and more. I love playing for people and spreading the love of the Great Highland Bagpipe.

Amazing artist!

Virginia was the absolute best! She came to Mom’s celebration with authenticity and joy. She also explained a few of the pieces she played. It was a performance that was full of her passion for the pipes and respect for the person she helped to celebrate. She can play Yellow Submarine and Stairway To Heaven on the pipes!! So cool!!

Wonderful and professional

A great communicator and was up for the challenge of having fun and following our HS Principal around. It was great and lighthearted but what stood out was her amazing talent! Was a treat to have her share her talent with our school. Highly recommend for all your bagpipe event needs!

Front Range Bagpiping is amazing!

I cant even begin to explain how happy I was with Front Range Bagpiping! Virginia did an excellent job playing for my family reunion in June. She catered her performance to our Irish roots, playing Irish tunes and giving a history of the bagpipe in between songs. She came into our area already playing her bagpipe, which was so amazing, and left our area still playing!! Virginia was prompt, communicative and so very personable. Her prices are reasonable and competitive. I highly recommend Front Range Bagpiping, and cant wait until I have another reason to ask her to play for us again!!

Bagpiper rocks the Rockies!

Virginia was willing to play on short notice. On the day of our event, she was prompt and talented, even in the cold (40°) temps!
