August 15, 2024We greatly appreciated having Patrick at our event! He arrived with plenty of time for set up, was gracious with the everyone running the event and was very professional. We'll definitely reach out if we ever have a need for a Chicago based bagpiper.

I learned to play the bagpipes as a youth in Canada, went to college in the US on a Music/Scottish Arts scholarship, and I've competed at the World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow with one of the top bands. Currently playing with the City of Chicago Pipe Band's grade 2 band and leading its grade 4 band.
