Northern Michigan, Mackinac Island, Wisconsin

Excellent pipe music and authentic formal Highland attire make your event memorable for a lifetime. Let your memories echo with the soul-stirring sounds of the Great Highland Bagpipe or heartwarming melodies from Scottish Smallpipes.

40 years' experience. Numerous awards in solo competition, as well as with some of the best pipe bands in North America. Studied for years with many of the greatest pipers of the 20th century.

Guaranteed to be professional, prompt, punctual, absolutely in-tune; an all-around excellent musical experience. Skillfully integrating bagpipe music into wedding ceremonies, memorial services, concerts, and just about any setting imaginable.

Three different pitch varieties: standard, concert B-flat (466) and concert A (440). This allows me to offer accompaniment of virtually any other kind of instrument, which is very rare among highland pipers. I also play Scottish smallpipes, tin whistles, low whistle and a hornpipe.

Past engagements include The Chieftains' USA Tour, the Consecration of the Site of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald aboard the USCGC Mackinaw, technical consulting for Scottish music with the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra, and hundreds of weddings and memorial services. My most frequent type of engagements are northern Michigan destination weddings on Mackinac Island, Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Charlevoix, St. Ignace and all over Northern Michigan. Available in Northern Michigan, Mackinac Island, and Wisconsin at competitive rates, usually without any cost for my travel.

Scottish Highland dancers also available on a limited basis.

High level of skill, experience and quality consistent with international piping standards. Hundreds of tunes of every kind: not only Scottish, but also Irish and other Celtic. If you want a tune I don't already know I will learn it for your event, if it is possible to play it on the pipes.
