March 17, 2024Amazing!
Terry gave an outstanding performance for our St. Patrick’s Day party, where he was absolutely the highlight! His performance was excellent, he gave great details about his performance and associated history, and our guests were thrilled. He was also generous with his time. Highly recommend!

Terry played during a wake and funeral on a chilly March morning last weekend. The meloncholy sound of the bagpipes coming from the hillside was exactly what the family requested. Many folks commented how moving it was and such a fitting tribute to the man who in life had loved the sound of the pipes. Terry looked splendid and his musical selections were exactly what was needed for the solemn occasion. I especially liked “ Going Home “ that he played while Ed’s eight grandsons placed the coffin in the hearse. Not a dry eye in sight!

March 11, 2018Fantastic!
Terry was terrific! We had a family party and he played outside for a time with loud pipes, then switched to the “indoor pipes” to a second round of applause!
Congenial and gentlemanly, dressing the part, it was all money well spent.

October 7, 2014Regal with perfection
Terry played at out daughter's wedding last Saturday and it was wonderful. Since Terry also plays the Scottish Small Pipes (which are quieter for indoors) and those were our back up plan in case of rain during the ceremony, which it did and the sound was just beautiful. Terry was early, impeccably dressed and lovely to work with. We can't wait for another occasion to have him play.

Set list
I play many traditional and contemporary Scottish, Irish, Canadian and American bagpipe tunes. The band I compete with travels to several Scottish games in North America. My bagpipe, therefore, is in excellent playing shape for your engagements. My bagpipe was made by James Robertson in 1955 and is made from African Blackwood with elephant ivory ferrules and mounts.
Scottish Small Pipes is also an option for your smaller engagements.
Lastly, I also play an electric bagpipe made by Redpipes, a German company. Great when playing with my Celtic band.
Influences and inspiration
I have been greatly influenced by The Chieftains. I love the music and try express tunes with the same feeling. I realize that this breaks from the traditional Scottish Bagpiping discipline, so when appropriate, I take full license to bend notes.
Setup requirements
No set up requirements required.
