Of all the shows I have performed to thousands of people over the years, my favorite are the more intimate, small events where I get to interact with the clients and guests.

I have performed such a vast variety of shows from Weddings & Memorials to large Rock Festivals all around the world. I love playing any event as each one brings gives me the chance to bring a different aspect of the Bagpipes to it

I started off as a child playing Bagpipes in a small Pipe Band in country Victoria. Over the years I have played with and guested with a number of the top Pipe Bands in Australia. In 2008 I joined the internationally renowned Punk/Rock band The Go Set. Since then i have toured extensively all around Australia and the World performing to thousands.
