September 29, 2025Such a lovely addition to a wedding
Bill provided some excellent tunes for our son and daughter in law’s outdoor wedding. Smartly dressed in his tartans and positioned perfectly against the fall backdrop, he balanced a bagpipe procession for the groom and groomsmen with recorded music for the bride and finished with a festive tune for the procession. Highly recommended. Very professional and responsive. Thanks Bill!

Thanks for the great review. It was actually my son Bill who played. I was not feeling well and he agreed to do it. He said he had a good time, and met many nice people.

What to expect
You can expect to hear a well tuned bagpipe, playing traditional Scottish and Irish tunes. I will be dressed in full highland dress, either formal or informal as you request. I will be on time, and will discuss with you how I can add to your event; be it a wedding, a family gathering, a birthday party or a funeral service.

If you have special tune requests, please let me know in advance.
About
I have been playing “the pipes” for over 50 years, and have enjoyed the opportunities to bring this special music to the many clients I have met over the years. Last year I had the honor of playing at the White House, and meeting Secretary of Defence Jim Mattis.
I have played with the Schenectady Pipe Band for all 50 years of my playing career, traveling to Scotland to compete in the World Pipe Band Championships four times.
I have 2 sons, a grandson, a granddaughter, a brother, and several nieces and nephews that play pipes and drums with me, so if you need a small band, we can most likely accommodate.
Additional booking notes
No technical requirements needed.
