Overview

Authentic, professional championship bagpipe player, and Celtic musician, from Scotland. I have been playing the pipes over 35 years. I have won many piping competitions in Scotland, and the USA. I am available to play at Weddings, Funerals, Corporate Events or special occasions. I can help you plan your event, and help you decide where the bagpipes will be best suited for your needs.
I have played the pipes for Disney, in Florida, as well as several T.V appearances. For more about my services, visit my website at (link hidden)

A great experience!

Paul was a pleasure to have at our wedding shower. We’re having a destination wedding in Scotland and wanted a bagpiper for the event. Paul not only played beautifully but was great at conversing with the guests who had endless questions for him about Scotland. 10/10 experience and would happily recommend him.

Outstanding performance and ease of organizing

Paul, Turned up early, planned the session and was able to flow with a pretty vague plan. Played longer that was booked and blended in very well with the group.

This was for an Irish Wake and Paul was able to read the room well and play appropriate song.

I would strongly recommend Paul and we will definitely use him again. Interestly, he has a band that we will also consider

Thanks
Joe

Set list

I am a level 2 piper, which means I can play all traditional tunes. If you want me to learn a tune for your event, and it can be played on the bagpipes, I can do it.

Influences and inspiration

I have been playing the pipes for over 35 years. My father taught me. he was a huge influence on my professional piping.

Setup requirements

Just need a space to stand...preferably in the shade.
