            Do you have a Birthday Party to plan?  How about a Retirement party?  Christmas Party or St Paddy's Day event?  Maybe an Awards Ceremony or Banquet?

The bagpipes can enhance all of these events.

From a surprise performance of “Happy Birthday” to a long performance of catchy toe tapping tunes or piping for Highland Dancers, I can integrate into and enhance your event.

This is equally true for corporate events.  I can pipe in dignitaries, or head tables.  I can play the 15 minute warning to a meal, and I can perform during the meal.

As well, if you desire a custom Piping CD, I can record the tunes you desire.

Unfortunately the Highland Bagpipes does not have the range to play the tune as composed, so I had to make a few minor changes (4 notes) to fit in.

To record Wander My Friends, I had:

  • 6 Audio tracks of Bagpipes (only 5 made the mix down).
  • 5 Percussion tracks (only 3 made the mix down).

If time permits I intend to eventually add guitars, keyboard, orchestral instruments etc.  But this will be a longer term project.

And the result is:
