With
25 years of piping experience, I'll help you create a
unique and unforgettable celebration or
memorial. I have a large repertoire of airs,
marches, hymns, laments, upbeat hornpipes, jigs, and
reels suitable for weddings, funerals, birthdays,
hunting parties, kirkings, St. Patrick's and St.
Andrew's Days events, Burns' Nicht Dinners, and golf
tournaments. For church organ and bagpipe duets
I can provide sheet music and tuning solutions.
My training and experience allow pipes to be easily used in ceremonies with Honor Guards. As a fireman, some 9/11 ceremonies I have piped in have been nationally televised. My flexible work schedule can accommodate short notice events.
I have been fortunate to have competed, performed, taught, or received tuition in the U.S., Canada, Scotland, and Brittany. Scottish Small pipes and Reel pipes are also available for venues requiring piping at lower volume.
A prominent area minister said to me as we were walking away from a grave site, "People will forget my words, but they will remember your music."
I love to play and will teach diligent students for free. Lecture demonstrations available. I can be a source for piping duets, piper/drummer trios, or even a whole band.
Demo tapes specifically made for your event available with deposit.
