Events
A bagpiper for events that need to be remembered
Festivals, corporate openings, gala dinners, product launches, brand activations. A live bagpiper turns 'an event' into 'that event everyone still talks about'.
Where a bagpiper makes the difference
- Festivals — Celtic, Highland, beer, whisky, food and culture festivals.
- Corporate openings — store openings, new offices, ribbon cuttings, ground-breakings.
- Gala dinners — piping in the head table, the speaker or the haggis (yes, including the Address to the Haggis on Burns Night).
- Product launches & brand activations — when you need an entrance no one expects.
- Sports events — opening ceremonies, finishing-line music, parades.
- Private parties — surprise birthdays, anniversaries, retirements.
Traditional Scottish attire
For events I play in traditional kilt with matching Scottish attire — included as standard. The visual impact matters — guests reach for their phones, the photos travel further than your hashtag.
Burns Night specialists
I do a number of Burns Night dinners every January across the Netherlands and Belgium. Piping in the haggis, the Address (Robert Burns' original poem), the toast — the full programme if you want it.
