Save musicians, entertainers, speakers, and services, and they’ll appear here.
Celtic music for all occasions. From pub style sing-alongs to stately bagpipes, perfect for weddings, funerals, ceremonies of any kind and any time you want a touch of Irish or Scottish music.
Wireless Electronic bagpipes (they come with a volume knob) with excellent sound sampling, look and sound completely acoustic. The reverb and chorus settings will make you believe a piper is off in the glen, playing in the mist.
Accordion and vocals - I am a trained singer with years of experience touring nationally with a Celtic band. Song styles go from fun up-tempo Irish and Scottish songs to love songs and ballads.
Drummer available as well.
Very pleased… gentleman was on time and polite and just jumped right in … I did change a bit of what he was doing which involved him bring his gear inside and playing one more song… and he said “not a problem I’ll take care of it”. Would highly recommend!!
Response from Glenglass Piping:

David
Glenglass was amazing! We throughly enjoyed our event. He and his wife participated, her drums were a very nice accompaniment to his piping. The Amazing Grace rendition was spectacular.
Response from Glenglass Piping:
Thank you, Jamey. It was a delight to perform for you and your guests.
We called upon David to play for our Corporate even intro and asked him to play some intense Braveheart music. Hi electric bagpipes were perfect for what we requested. Thanks David for making our event great!
Response from Glenglass Piping:
Enjoyed working with you folks. Lots of fun and spirit!
I would highly recommend Glenglass Piping. He played before & after my husband's outdoor service. He kept in contact with me, was on time & made a sad day beautiful. Family & friends had many compliments.
Response from Glenglass Piping:
I was honored to be a part of his remembrance. Thank you for your kind words.
Our Bagpiper was Concise on arrival and did what he said he would do, Well!
We didn’t cate for the nontraditional electronic plug in system he used. I didn’t do my research properly and didn’t realize this until talking with him the night before.
Still the sound and songs were nice, missed the nostalgia of the procession of carrying the traditional playing bagpipes.
Thank you Glenglass Piping for another successful video.
Great to have you for our shoot.
We used the artist for a video shoot and he did a great job.
Thank you!
Response from Glenglass Piping:

We were looking forward to hearing the bagpipes at our community Veterans Day event-unfortunately because of the recent horrible weather, we were forced to cancel Glenn Glass Piping. Messages back and forth were answered quickly. We hope to use him at another event..
David was on time, very professional and did a fantastic job. We will be using him at every commencement ceremony to follow!
Response from Glenglass Piping:

David Doersch did an outstanding job playing the bagpipes for our "Welcome Back" meeting of our Irish American Club. We will definitely avail ourselves of his expertise should the need arise in the future. Thank you for referring him to us. Ginger Pelegrimas, Irish American Club of Kings Ridge
Response from Glenglass Piping:
Thank you, Ginger! What a nice group! Really enjoyed myself!
Showed up on-time and did great job. Would Highly Recommend.
David glenglass was absolutely incredible and very easy to work with. I'm so happy I decided to have bagpipes for my processional for my wedding. I don't have any negatives at all. David was so talented, very reasonable, professional, and communicated and helped with song selection. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.
Response from Glenglass Piping:
Thank you so much, Xaviera! The ceremony was beautiful and you were an absolutely stunning bride!
David text me to meet the day before the event so he would be prepared for our electricity, etc. He came early and played for the crowd before the memorial which wasn't part of what we ask for, but was very nice. He set his equipment up, even putting a mat over his wires so no one would trip. He performed the song we wanted, tore his equipment and was gone in a very timely manner. We were very impressed with his professionalism, and his talent.
Response from Glenglass Piping:
Thank you, Linda. It was a lovely service and it was a delight, meeting the members of your community.
Price Range: $150-500
Gig Length: 30 - 180 minutes
I arrive early, setup the sound system, and then get changed into my full kilt and gear. The pipes look and sound acoustic, though they are electronic. This gives me the advantage of setting the volume for the space so that the pipes are stirring and meaningful, without being overpowering. It also ensures that the pipes are always perfectly in tune, something that cannot be said for acoustic pipes. I also play Scottish whistle. Similar to a flute, the Scottish whistle is a lovely, evocative instrument that can set a solemn mood, or be a lovely background.
Having toured for a dozen years with the Celtic Rock band, Coyote Run as the lead singer/accordion/bagpiper, David and his wife have settled in the Tampa Bay area. During his years of touring, David's band was featured at various Celtic festivals around the country, including: Grandfather Mountain Highland Games, The Great American Irish Festival, Toledo Irish Festival, Potomac Celtic Festival, Williamsburg Scottish Festival, Savannah Highland Games, Syracuse Irish Festival, and many more. Coyote Run toured and performed throughout the United States, Canada and made multiple special appearances in Scotland, Ireland, England and Wales. They released 11 CDs. David's wife was the drummer for Coyote Run, and now plays for the American Rogues.
I provide speaker(s), mixer, microphone (if needed) and appropriate cables. I ask that clients keep in mind that I will need space and set up time for the speakers and gear. Clients would be responsible for lights.
