There is no instrument quite like the bagpipes. The sound of the pipes usually evokes strong, emotional feelings. It's an ancient sound that stirs the inner most parts of those who hear it. It is a raw sound as mysterious as its origins and I long for the opportunity to bring this sound to your event. Whether marking a celebration, honoring a loved one, or anything in between, I make sure every event has the highest level of quality in both sound and highland dress.
I would rank Francisco higher than full marks if possible! He is superb, very professional, extremely accomplished musician, friendly and accommodating. I have no reservations whatsoever in recommending Francisco for any event.

Gig Length: 10 - 90 minutes

When Franky first heard the bagpipes on tape at a young age, he just knew that he had to learn the instrument. At the time, it wasn't as easy as hopping online to discover more. Life marched on and it wasn’t until many years later that he remembered his yearning to play the pipes.
Destiny met desire as Franky connected with other seasoned pipers in the area. He began studying and receiving private lessons. After playing gigs and joining, practicing, and competing with a local band, he knew he had finally realized his dream! Franky considers bagpiping a favorite pastime and considers it an honor to bless others with its sound.
