June 22, 2024A True Pro
We had Will pipe our family out onto the river to scatter my amazing Scottish Mum’s ashes. He did a beautiful job. We had showed him where he could relax while we all said a few words before we wanted him to play again. But like a true pro he never left his spot, standing at attention for a good twenty minutes before we had him play more. Excellent experience! Thank you Will!

May 28, 2024Highly recommend Will Cooper to elevate your event.
We had the pleasure of hiring Will and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The music added an unforgettable and unique ambiance to our niece’s wedding day. The bride and groom and many of their guests commented on how much they loved the performance and we couldn’t agree more. If you are looking for an exceptional bagpiper to elevate your event, look no further than Will Cooper. Highly recommend!

November 21, 2023Piping at Celebration of Life
I engaged Will via the net to pipe at late Father's Celebration of Life 19 November in Orléans. He played wonderfully , especially the pieces specifically requested by my Mother . He is a mature young man of considerable talents and thus highly recommended for your event.

What to expect
As an event planner, you can expect full highland garb if necessary. I can provide musical services for weddings, funerals, and anything in-between. I know all the classic tunes (e.g. Mairi's Wedding, Scotland the Brave, Amazing Grace, Auld Lang Syne, etc.), as well as many that are less well-known. If there's a particular song you'd like me to learn for the event, please provide at least two week's notice, and a copy of the sheet music if possible. I also have a few outfits available for you to choose from, so your event can be exactly as you envisioned it.

Additional booking notes
Given the fact that bagpipes are naturally quite loud, no special requirements are needed. All I request is that if I am expected to march on, I be given a clear path to do so. I will need an area to tune up for a couple minutes after I arrive before I play.
