The Piper of Kintore made our day!

Gig Salad was the perfect platform in finding the Piper for our Mom’s burial service. The process was very straightforward and communication with The Piper of Kintore was easy and prompt as we narrowed down our music choices. The music was the ideal backdrop to our ceremony. We would highly recommend The Piper of Kintore and Gig Salad.

Last minute memorial

My Scottish nan died during covid and I was able to book the piper to go the next day to pipe on my dad’s driveway. This was so special and really meant a lot. The piping was amazing and my dad loved it.

Piper of Kintore Review

This fellow was excellent! Had him play bagpipes for my mother's 92nd birthday and she, as well as everyone else there really loved it! My mom was sooo surprised and really enjoyed his selection of songs. He also have some history on some of the songs too which was quite interesting. Lovely personality, enthusiasm, and kept us all smiling and laughing. Would recommend him highly!

Fantastic player and person!

Piper of Kintore was a HUGE hit at our outside party we had. He arrived on time and was ready to play right away. He went above and beyond entertaining our guests. Would 100% use him again and would recommend to anyone.

Absolute perfection!

We were absolutely thrilled with the Piper of Kintore. He played for my mother's interment in Stratford, Ontario. My family was so impressed with his presentation and his playing. We are certain that Mom was so very pleased. We are very thankful for his impeccable performance! (and, God bless him, it was so bloody hot that morning and he was in full regalia)

What to Expect

I have a good knowledge of the history of the tunes I play so I can talk about the tunes themselves to add to an event.

I tailor my tunes to the event. If it is a Robbie Burns gig, I ensure the tunes center around his time period and influence. The same goes for weddings, funerals. I ensure the tunes fit perfectly with the type of event.

If you hire me you get a piper who listens to the client and ensures their wishes are determined in the preparation phase and that the actual piping at the event is of the highest standard resulting in client satisfaction.

About

Music has always been a passion in my life. I took up the bapipes because of my family ancestry in Scotland. I really enjoy playing at weddings and events knowing it adds something special. I also play the pipes in the Stratford Police Pipes and Drums. Playing in the band and solo gigs keeps me busy.

No technical requirements.
