About
Bagpiper is a bagpiper for hire in Sunshine Coast, QLD.
A Sunshine Coast piper who's played functions around the world, solo and with a band. The repertoire covers what these occasions actually call for: Amazing Grace, Highland Cathedral, Flowers of the Forest, Dark Isle, Bonnie Dundee, Scotland the Brave, Skye Boat Song, Auld Lang Syne, Battle of the Somme and more. Requests need a week's notice so anything not played recently can be run through properly. He keeps other pipers on hand as backup, because things go wrong and weddings and funerals don't get a second take. Celtic weddings can be arranged with pipes at the ceremony followed by an Irish or Celtic band.
Watch
On the day
Get your tune requests in a week before the event. He's got a wide repertoire, but anything he hasn't played recently he'll want to run through properly first rather than sight-read it on the day. That week's notice is the difference between a piece that sounds right at a ceremony and one that doesn't.
Performance options
There's a full Celtic wedding option. Pipes at the ceremony, then an Irish or Celtic band takes over for the rest of it, singing and playing for Scottish or Irish ceilidh dancing. Mention it in your enquiry if that's the shape of day you're after.
