I perform on the Irish Uilleann Bagpipes, and on the Scottish Great Highland Bagpipes.
The Uilleann pipes are not nearly so loud as their better known cousin, the Great Highland Bagpipe, and are played in a seated position, suitable for indoor, or intimate outdoor performance.
For larger venues, or outdoor events the Great Highland Bagpipes will create a mood that is at once stately and memorable.
I have performed for festivals, weddings, memorial services (civilian and military), orchestral concerts, and recording sessions in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida for the past twelve years.
I would very much like to play for your special event.
We couldn't have been more pleased with Dave's performance, which included both the Uilleann and the Scottish Great Highland Bagpipes. He is a very skilled musician and, since this was a small and intimate gathering, he added to the experience by including information about the history of the pieces he played.
He was also professional and a pleasure to work with setting up the booking. He asked if we had any requested favorites, suggested additional pieces, helped plan his arrival as a surprise, and worked with us to figure out the physical arrangements in the Covid-19 era.
We would highly recommend him without reservation..
