Looking back, its hard to believe I have been playing bagpipes for 20 years. I pride myself in playing the pipes well, with a focus on intonation and balance in my instrument. It takes a discerning ear and lots of technical capabilities to play the pipes. The bagpipes are very difficult to play, and very difficult to play well.
I love working with clients to incorporate bagpipes into their special events. Imagine pipes being played outside of your wedding venue as a surprise to your guests or your loved one. Imagine having pipes fire up to lead a lively processional after being accounced as a newly married couple. It has been great to be back playing weddings as COVID restrictions have slowly lifted. I also enjoy teaching students as they embark in learning the pipes. Bush, and at numerous celebrity weddings. While in graduate school in Boston, I enjoyed playing for The Boston Blazers, President George H.W. Over the years, I have played at over 85 weddings (I just counted them up!), in addition to other celebrations, parties, funerals, etc. I have been piping for 20 years, originally learing in Oakland, Maine. Thank you to all that made this possible, we are over the moon and feel extremely blessed.My name is John, and when I am not chasing after my two boys and their trusty goldendoodle, Ella, I love playing bagpipes.
