Born and raised in Scotland, I have lived in US since 2005. I grew up playing the bagpipes in the Highlands of Scotland and have been a Professional Piper for over 20 years.
I still compete in solo contests at the highest level, both in Scotland and all over North America, so you can be assured of the highest quality performance!
The bagpipes adds that extra special touch to any event, whether it is a wedding celebration, coporate event, or perhaps you are looking for that moving rendition of Amazing Grace to remember that special one.
I will be sure to consult with you before the event so each and every detail is covered.

August 11, 2024After putting Brian through the wringer with a traditional and two non traditional songs, he played beautifully at my father’s funeral. His personal attention will be forever remembered by myself and my family.
Thank you very much Brian.

June 25, 2023Brian's music was such a wonderful addition to our memorial service. The music was beautifully performed and Brian was such a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him.

April 23, 2023Brian played for the 75th "birthday" of my 1939 Matthews 40-foot wood-hulled twin-engine cruising boat here in Washington State, a boat built by a Scotsman in 1939. The boat's original 1939 name was and still is Pied Piper. With a bottle of Dalmore whisky on the deck of the boat, that we all shared (friends and Brian too, who is now a friend), we had the best of times. Slàinte.

September 18, 2022Brian played for our Mothers funeral. He did an excellent job on short notice. We especially were impressed with his playing of Amazing Grace and how he faded away. Very emotional. Thanks Brian!
