I am available to play the Great Highland Bagpipes at weddings, memorial services, military functions, golf tournaments and other special events throughout the Hampton Roads region of Virginia and the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I have more than 30 years of experience as a solo and band piper and nearly 20 as a paid performer.
I am a Grade 1 soloist in the Eastern United States Pipe Band Association (EUSPBA) and a member of two bands: Tidewater Pipes & Drums (Grade 4) and Greater Richmond Pipes & Drums (Grade 3).
Please contact me to discuss how I can help make your event special.

December 20, 2025Jim was great to work with, arrived on time, played the requested songs. A special touch to the funeral recession of our dear departed priest.

August 18, 2025Jim Roberts is an extremely talented bagpiper. With only a few days notice he was able to perform for our event, even though he had other plans for Saturday. I'm sure he has performed for events similar to ours many, many times. He knew what tunes to play and when to play them. His performance was thoroughly enjoyed by all present.
