TRADITIONAL HIGHLAND PIPING
ABOUT Tony The Bagpiper for All Occasions
I am an accomplished Bagpiper and have been playing the Highland Bagpipes for 18 plus years. Should you wish to Hire A Bagpiper For your Wedding, Birthday special Event or Require a Piper for a Funeral Service, please do not hesitate to get in touch for a competitive quote.
On discharge from the Armed Forces, after 22 years service, both Regular and Permanent Staff for TA Units, I attended the Bagiper’s course at the Army School of Bagpipe Music and Highland Drumming, Inchdrewer House, Colinton. Edinburgh. I went on to be tutored further under the watchful eye of an Ex Scots Guards Pipe Major, prior to launching my professional career as a Piper. I am proud to have been appointed the Honorary Piper for The Defense Academy of the United Kingdom, The Swindon and District Caledonian Society and several other Military Establishments. I am predominately a solo bagpiper and have attended many Weddings, Funerals, Birthdays and Corporate events in this capacity.
I also manage The Home Counties Pipes & Drums Band who are available for larger corporate events, carnivals and fetes. Members of the Band and myself have recently completed 8 stadium tours with Sir Rod Stewart, We have also played alongside The National Symphony Orchestra with the well-known and respected conductor, Anthony Inglis.
I have several tartans, Royal Stewart, Black Watch, and Black Stewart, my family tartans, and can attend in Formal Ceremonial dress, Day or Evening dress subject to your preference. The Band also have several other additional tartans including Red Robertson, Lindsay, and Lamont but Royal Stewart is their Formal Band Tartan.
Having a Bagpiper or Full Pipes & Drums Band can add so much to your day, and there is no sound quite like a perfectly tuned set of pipes to enhance your day.
I am a full-time professional Piper and can travel almost anywhere in England to provide you a friendly and efficient service.
