“Wayne Coleman, Lord of Glencoe was awesome. He arrived as strategically planned and put on an excellent show not only with his bagpipe but with his knowledge and humor. ”

Very nice man. We spoke a few times prior to the event. He even learned a new song that I had found called the parting glass as it was for a memorial. It brought such a presence to the event and one we will never forget.

August 20, 2025A perfect addition to our wedding
John played the pipes at our wedding last weekend, including piping in our guests and piping me down the aisle. He was fantastic.
The performance was spot on, and John was a pleasure to work with in the lead up to the event. I would recommend without hesitation for your important event.

What to expect
With 15 years playing with bands and doing solo events, my repertoire of tunes is good. Depending on the type of event, my play list may contain slow airs, marches, jigs and reels. You can request tunes, or just let me play what feels right for the occasion. If a tune you like is not currently known to me, with enough advance notice, I can learn it.
