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.

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