These Celtic pipers typically perform in full Highland dress and carry repertoires spanning traditional Scottish airs, military marches and well-known tunes arranged for pipes.

Burns Night suppers, corporate events, St Patrick's Day celebrations and milestone birthdays also make regular bookings. Peak dates such as Burns Night and St Patrick's Day fill up early, so prompt enquiries are worthwhile.
