Overview

Bagpiper for events including weddings, birthdays, funerals, parties, etc. My service can be customized in terms of outfit, level of formality, etc, and I am more than willing to learn and play almost any new tune clients may want. I also possess 3 types of Scottish bagpipe with varying levels of volume for different events and spaces

Seosamh Williamson

Seosamh played the pipes at a family memorial service. The songs were poignant, deeply meaningful and beautifully played.

Great Musician and Clear Communication

Seòsamh did a fantastic job surprising my wife for her birthday! He suggested using his smallpipes since we would be celebrating inside our apartment and they were perfect. The booking process was smooth, and Seòsamh's communication leading up to the event was prompt and clear. We would definitely hire him again for future events!

Excellent piper and person!

Mr. Williamson was so generous with his talent and time. This was our first graduation event in our new building, and the students wanted a piper. They only thought of being piped in, not piped out. Mr. Williamson thought of that additional touch - and it was so special for the students. Thanks for everything!

About

I am a competing and professional bagpiper of Scottish Gaelic heritage. I pride myself on my professionalism and ability to deliver unforgettable performances. I have been playing bagpipes for 5 years and am affiliated with the world-famous SFU Pipe Band through its junior branch, the RMM Pipe Band. I am also currently studying linguistics and history with the goal of obtaining a graduate degree in Celtic Studies.

Additional booking notes

I possess both a set of Highland Bagpipes and a set of Scottish Smallpipes. If you wish, you can request that I play smallpipes instead of highland pipes. In addition, you can also request a more or less formal uniform if you wish. I can wear anything from a very casual kilt outfit to full black tie Highland Dress (see my photo gallery for an image of what a full black-tie outfit may look like)

Setup requirements

I require a small amount of time to tune my pipes prior to an event. I account for this by arriving early
