I am a solo Great Highland bagpiper proficient in the traditional Scottish mass band tunes as well as specialty tunes for events such as weddings and funerals. I have played professionally for 10 years now, formerly playing with the City of Greenville Pipes and Drums . I am very flexible and happy to answer any questions about how my services might fit into your next event.

December 19, 2024Alston responded to a last-minute request that made a really huge impact on my family in such a loving way since this was a memorial for my Aunt. He was quick to respond and showed up on time and even played a little longer than we scheduled - and dealt with my father's banter. Thank You Alston!

June 12, 2023We chose this to supplement the entertainment. A very special treat not only for the guests arriving at our wedding but for anyone in the vicinity. Timely and professional in communication as well.

March 19, 2023Alston was great at my son’s wedding. His playing was a highlight for the wedding festivities on St. Patrick’s Day. Alston was easy to work with, and very accommodating. It was perfect!

My goal is to work with my clients to appropriately adjust and plan for the event to make it a success. My audience can expect appropriate tune selections for a memorable occasion.
