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.

					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.

					Chris played at my Mom's funeral today. He led us down into the crematorium and piped as we walked in. He then played again as we left at the end... read more of the service. 3 different tunes , all absolutely wonderful. Lots of comments from people paying their respects to Mom about how lovely it was to hear the piper. There were certainly extra tears as the bagpipes were being played but what a fantastic Mom send off. Thank you Chris.
