Kevin did an outstanding job — professional, precise, and a true gentleman. He played from the roof of the press box overlooking the 2000 or so guests which worked very well. Thank you!

September 28, 2025Professional bagpiper
I got married on 5/31/2025, and all I ever wanted was to surprise my wife with a bag piper on our special day, I was in the hunt for the best piper in my area and reached out to multiple people and kept getting Kevin’s name, i got his information, reached out and was answered almost instantly. Throughout the whole process Kevin was easily reachable and extremely open to any requests or needs that I had. Kevin showed up ahead of schedule and met us surprising my wife greeting us playing instantly, he escorted us into our venue and then went in and played multiple songs for all our guests. People were raving about his skills and professionalism he was needless the say a complete hit! I could not recommend him more for all your needs and I will be forwarding his services to anyone who is looking for a piper, 10/10 would recommend him!

September 26, 2025World class pipe band instructor
Kevin has been a band instructor for the Sutherland Pipe Band for many years, guiding us through every stage of our band’s lifecycle. He played a crucial role in developing and retaining members when we had just a few players, and he continued to support our improvement as we grew and returned to band competition. Whether you're learning tunes, preparing for a parade or contest, or simply trying to improve your playing, Kevin can help. He is an expert player and teacher for all aspects of piping, including instrument setup, tuning, expression, musicality, deportment, unison, and ensemble. More importantly, while Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and competent, he is equally personable and patient. Every pipe band and piper could benefit from Kevin’s instruction, and he would be my top choice for any event where a piper is needed.

Influences and inspiration
My bagpiping journey has been shaped by a diverse array of influential teachers and bands. I began learning from Neil Gillette, whose guidance launched my passion. I’ve also been inspired by teachers and colleagues like Geoff Douglas, James Cuthill, Pipe Major Roddy MacLeod, MBE, James Stewart, Barry Ewen and Billy Baird, as well as legendary bands such as Simon Fraser University Pipe Band, the Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band, and the Victoria Police Pipe Band. Each has contributed to my growth, blending tradition with excellence.
