We had Amanda play happy birthday for our receptionist. She was very personable at the time of the performance. She reached out before the event and discussed the plan for the event. Would highly recommend!

Thank you very much for your kind words Michael! I always consider it an honor to be called upon, but , must admit that surprise occasions are my favorite!! I loved working with you to provide the experience for Nancy that you wished .
I would highly recommend Amanda for any of your piping needs. She did and awesome job and everyone at my mom's service was very impressed with her piping. Also, Amanda is very friendly and the first time I talked to her, it was like talking to an old friend. She made the day very special not only for me, bur for the rest of my family friends at my mom's memorial service.

Bill. Thank you ever so kindly for your beautiful review of my services for your dear mother’s funeral. Also, a simple “thanks” is not enough for your recommendation of my services to others . Please know how very much it is appreciated. Most of all, it is you whom I must thank for being so well put together and organized during such a grievous time as I know it was not without effort. Your communication and organizational skills throughout the process made what I did look easy. Both you and your family’s hospitality that day was felt deep within and I shan’t soon forget it. I was beyond honored to be a part of such a precious farewell. I too must agree that speaking with you was as if I were speaking to someone whom I had known for ages and I am quite well pleased to have made your acquaintance . May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back and May God always hold you in the palm of his hand. In Peace, Amanda

Thank you Dan! It was my honor to pipe for a woman so well loved.
We wanted to have a bagpiper for my dad's funeral. The Lady Piper already had a commitment for that day, but was able to connect me with someone who was able to play. The bagpipe music was a fitting tribute to my father and I would recommend her to anyone.
Response from Amanda McGregor - Bagpiping for your Event:
Thank you Very Much Pamela! I am so very pleased that you allowed me to assist you in securing another piper and were happy with his performance.

"To the making of a Piper goes 7 years and 7 generations before . Only then do they stand at the beginning of knowledge "......Since I was small , I have always loved the skirl of the bagpipes . As a little girl , my staunchly Scottish grandfather made sure that I understood and appreciated my heritage . For as long as I can remember , I have always felt a connection to the "pipes . Little did I know that 25 years later at the age of 31 I would begin learning how to play the ancient instrument that I loved so much .
As I began my study of the Great Highland Bagpipe and it's history , I realized that generations of my Scottish Clan , the Mac Gregors , were 'pipers to the most ancient kings of Scotland . Couple that with my Irish half , and I suppose that I was destined to be a bagpiper . I couldn't believe the connection I seemed to have with this art form . As I practiced , it seemed to calm me and clear my mind . I had played other instruments in the past , none however , had this kind of effect on my personal being .
Now 20 years since beginning my studies , I have earned the rank of Pipe Sergeant of The Lion & Thistle Highlanders of Butler , Pa of which I am one of the founding members . I play/perform regularly on a professional basis for everything from Weddings , to Funerals , to Birthdays , to Festivals , to Educational Presentations , Birthdays and Anniversaries!
Ask anyone who plays the pipes WHY they play . Most likely , they wont be able to give you a definitive answer and truthfully , neither can I . Quite Simply I pipe because , I must . They call to me , speak to me , and are and always will be my saving grace .
In some instances , I will require that clearance for my appearance be obtained from the venue . Whether or not this will be needful will be determined on a case by case basis dependent upon the location of your event . Please understand that the Great Highland Bagpipes can be loud (dependent on where the performance will take place ), and have only two volumes...."ON" and "OFF". Higher ceilings and/ or larger rooms/halls are best suited though I often perform in regular sized spaces with no issue whatsoever. This can all be discussed in our communications with each other in order to achieve the optimum experience for all involved. Regarding outdoor performances , cover would be appreciated though not necessary, in the event of inclement weather. Outdoor performances in the deep winter would not be advisable as the temperature extremes can occasionally affect the mechanics of the pipes themselves due to the material of which the pipes are manufactured (african blackwood and cane). Again, let us discuss things and see what can be done.
The Great Highland Bagpipes are a very unique instrument in the musical world. Due solely to their design and musical "key structure" not all music can be played on them whether it be ancient or modern, religious or rock. To that end though not exclusively , I specialize in the traditional music of the pipes from Scotland and Ireland. Should you wish a particular tune that is not in my present repertoire, with enough notice I will gladly give it a look to see if it can effectively be done. Regarding my current "set list" there are simply too many to list and I encourage you to inquire during our communications.
