Bagpipe Player - MacKay Bagpipe player performing on all kinds of events.

For most events we don't need amplification.
Gigs can be in one place, but also walking (marching) around.
For bigger events, a stage is preferred.

Directions where to park and where/with whom we can report.

If needed, I have my own microphones. We don't bring a PA system.

We don't have a PA to play music over, if needed we can recommend a suitable playlist that can be played in between sets.

I've played at the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo in 2022. One of the most special gigs for a piper to do at a fantastic venue, Edinburgh Castle.

We like all kinds of events, the variety keeps it fun.

I started with some small gigs in 2007 and from there on went all over Europe for lots of different gigs, from living rooms to big Arenas like Mercedes Benz Arena (Berlin, Germany) and Gelredome (Arnhem, Netherlands).

Most influence came from Gordon Duncan and Fred Morisson.
For bands it's Daimh and Breabach.

Setup when playing without PA is very short. Most of the time I arrive in kilt already with the bagpipes ready to go.
If possible, about 5 minutes to tune would be good.
Performance time fully depends on the occasion. Sometimes 1 or 2 tunes is enough, other times we can play several times.

We're happy to perform outside, also walking around if needed.

They client can have a say in the setlist, but the tunes need to be in the Scottish Bagpipe repertoire, since it is limited in what music it can play.

Making a big impact, sometimes emotional, sometimes a big party.
