With over 40 years experience, toured with the Dropkick Murphy’s, played for heads of state, look no further than Boston Bagpipers for a Highland touch to your next event!
Official bagpiper of the 2022 US Open!
Patrick is a very talented piper. Such professionalism; from the first conversation with him on the phone, from song requests, to hearing him play. Patrick came by our home days before the event, to do a walkthrough with us. He was conscientious about understanding our vision and didn’t want to disappoint. Patrick arrived on time, and was sharply dressed. His music exceeded our expectations! Highly recommend booking Patrick. He was the hit of the Party!
Response from Boston Bagpipers:
Tara,
Thank you so much! You were an absolute dream client. I had such a great time piping for you and your guests. Thank you for having me be part of hands down the greatest Saint Patrick’s Day party ever!☘️
Another well done piping the curlers onto the ice for the finals.
Hired to pipe on the curlers for the finals at the Broomstones Oktoberfest Open.
Easy to communicate with, came early to check out the facility and prepare to pipe on the ice.
Did a lovely job, and everyone was impressed.
Response from Boston Bagpipers:
Thanks Richard! You folks were incredible. I had a lovely time!
Everything we wanted and more. Patrick was simply a pleasure to do business with. He was easy to reach. Confirmed by phone the night before. Took all our requests, and our schedule into consideration. Dressed so sharply and played wonderfully. Couldn’t have been happier! Thank you Patrick for making our 9/11 Tribute meaningful and appropriate.
Patrick did an extraordinary job. He worked with our family to choose songs that were important to us and represented my father. He added in extra songs he felt would also fit, they were all perfect. His years of crafting his skill showed through his wonderful music. He helped calm guests and was absolutely incredible to work with. Patrick was accommodating and made things easy to plan, which was so very much appreciated during such difficult times. Would 100% recommend Patrick to anyone looking for an incredible musician, who also happens to be a wonderful person.
Patrick provided a beautiful back ground of piping upon arriving at the church and then leaving the church. He was at the cemetery when we arrived with the bagpipes and when we left the cemetery. He went out of his way to come to the event, even though I wasn't in his direct area, he knew I was in a bind for a piper and for that I will always be grateful, it was that touch that gave my husband a beautiful send off to heaven. Thanks Patrick

I will always be early and prepared for your event. I bring a Celtic touch to your special day or memorial.
I wear traditional highland uniform and am impeccable in my appearance and sound.
I started piping at a very young age. I spent my youth competing in both the U.S. and Canada. I’ve taught for thirty years. I’ve performed on three albums and toured as a backup piper for the Dropkick Murphys.
I’ve performed hundreds of weddings, funerals, and events.
There are a lot of bad pipers out there. Do your homework when choosing one for your special event!
