Amazing Grace
Found a good place to practice on a new tune. "Velocipede"
New tune in the works "Itchy Fingers"
Piping around between shows at Tyler Celtic Fest.
15th year to pipe for our hero's at Memorial Day service
A little lite music at the Scottish Fest. Love my Cons.
Got a chance to play onstage with the Chieftians
Full Regimental kit. I'll never complain how long it takes my wife to get dressed again.
Got to be part of a commercial for a HUGE Irish beer company. Harp logos blacked out ; )
Overview
I am a full time piper with 100's upon 100's of events under my belt. With over 25 years of experience I can make an event meaningful and memorable.
I always arrive early and come dressed in appropriate kilt outfit for the occasion.
Last minute changes are not a problem and I can help plan what would work best for your event.
The Great Highland Bagpipes are usually the pipes that are requested but I can also provide you with Scottish Smallpipes for a quieter backgound or even provide you with piping with Digital Bagpipes for indoor or even outdoor areas where volume could be an issue.

May 17, 2025Exactly what we needed
Paul was exactly what we wanted and needed the day of my Father's celebration of life service. My Dad had said for years it wad important to him to have Amazing Grace played on the bagpipes and Paul did a beautiful rendition as well as playing the Marine Hym in honor of his time in service. My only regret was that I was so overwhelmed that day that I didn't get to speak to Paul personally and tell him how beautiful his music was and how much I appreciated his time.

Mr Watson performed in a professional manner at the gravesite of my mother’s funeral as she had requested. The music wasn’t intrusive or too loud and didn’t interfere with the ceremony at the gravesite. The music provided an atmosphere that celebrated her life and her faith as was intended. I highly recommend his service.

January 16, 2023Thank you isnt enough
I appreciate so much Paul playing for my grandmothers funeral.
It happened suddenly so I didn’t have time to plan. I also wasn’t up to making any major decisions. There was so much trust that I had for a complete stranger who protected that trust and took care of my grandmothers last moments. Not only did Paul make it completely effortless, he played at the perfect time and played beautiful music.
I don’t know how to thank you enough Paul. Everyone came to me and said it was the classiest funeral they had been to, and it was because of you. If you ever need anything you have a Scottish Fam for life!
