Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

I've played with renowned artists like The Chieftains, Carlos Núñez Muñoz, Boston Pops, Battlefield Band, Dropkick Murphys and Wolfstone. The best gig I've played for was a corporate event for JPMorgan at 60 State Street in Boston and the best venue I've played at was a wedding at Pat Bowlen's (then Owner of the Denver Broncos) house in Denver, CO.


What's your favourite type of event?

I enjoy playing at weddings and funerals. Bagpipes played well are a unique addition to either type of event.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I have been playing the bagpipes for over 38 years. I've performed at hundreds of weddings and funerals.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Roddy MacLeod and the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band have been my greatest influences in my piping progression.


Do you wear traditional kilt and dress up attire?

Yes. I have a few different tartan kilts and I complete the attire with a suit coat and Highland foot/head wear

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Depending on the event, I typically arrive 30 minutes before the performance. Sets of 15–20 minutes work best, as the instrument is quite loud.


Are you happy to perform outside?

I play outside all year. If it's raining hard, I prefer cover to keep the instrument dry.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Clients are welcome to choose a set list from my repertoire or leave the selections to us. We’re also happy to consider song requests and accommodate them when possible.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients often describe my performances as moving, beautiful, and atmosphere-changing. They also praise my professionalism, precision and thoughtful presence, noting that I adapt well to the occasion—from intimate memorials to large celebrations—and help make each event feel especially memorable.


Will we be able to hear you?

In 99% of scenarios, you'll be able to hear me. It's a very loud instrument and needs space to be appreciated.
