I have had the opportunity to take part in many interesting piping performances, from being on stage at UK Proms in the Park, theatre productions and other live performances including playing as an alarm clock waking up hungover festival goers!

The biggest event I have worked on so far in my career was being asked to play the bagpipes as part of the opening ceremony for the Commonwealth Games which was held in Birmingham in 2022 – playing in front of a packed stadium which was also broadcast around the world to over 800 million viewers globally!

Whatever the size of your event or number of people I will be happy to talk with you about your requirements and provide a service that fits into your event.

					Thank you Chris for making my daughter's wedding so special on Saturday 20th Oct 2018. You looked and sounded amazing. A true artist at work.

					I hired Chris as a surprise for my partner who is Scottish for our wedding. He did not disappoint. He was prompt, flexible and played beautifully. It was my husband's,... read more and the guests, highlight of the wedding. He communicated brilliantly prior to the wedding, helped keep it a secret and played a song I requested. I thoroughly recommend Chris for your events.
