Profile thumbnail image for Sandy Adams Bagpipes

Overview

I am a bagpiper originally from Edmonton, Alberta who is looking to add a Scottish flair to your event on Vancouver Island! I have been performing at weddings, funerals, parties and other events for over 10 years, and would love to play for you.

I have a very wide repertoire of music and will likely know any commonly heard bagpipe tunes. However, I can learn new music quickly if needed and will be glad to do so for your event. If it can be played on the bagpipes, I would be happy to arrange and learn it. I am also a past member of the world-champion Simon Fraser University Pipe Band and have competed in Scotland many times, both as a solo piper and in bands.

No Scotland, No Party!!!

Sandy brought the party to Yellow Point Lodge! He was the surprise musical guest at our fundraiser and everyone was on their feet when he entered the room. He is an excellent communicator, on time, looking sharp in his kilt / attire and a talented musician. Highly recommend Sandy Adams for any event requiring the music of the highlands.

Music that moved us

Sandy kindly played our special requests and drew from his repertoire of stirring Celtic music at the Celebration of Life for my late husband, who loved the pipes. When he's not making wonderful music, Sandy is a quiet, accommodating fellow who knows how to blend into a special occasion with modesty and tact. He really made our gathering extra-special.

Sandy was absolutely amazing!

We absolutely loved Sandy at our hobbit/carnival wedding. He played my entrance, our exit, and played some tunes at the end, and even joined in with our fiddle band, and participated in our bubble gum bubble contest. He was skillfully and amazingly, an all around amazing guy. He made our wedding special and we were honored to have him be there!

Sandy was fabulous!

Sandy was a great addition to our family’s celebration honouring my father’s life. He was on time, respectful, easy going, responsive, and had a wide repertoire. His playing was fabulous. I can heartily recommend him!
