This

is what I do.

My love for this instrument is pure and genuine; it translates to the care I take to best represent my musical culture. I bring together 17 years of international and competitive success, tailored to your event and needs. Feel free to browse my sample recordings in this section to familiarize yourself with my sound and skill-level! New ones will be added as they’re captured.

6/8 Marches on the Tweedies, in their original tuning.

As part of the services I offer, clients may choose the “sound profile” of bagpipe music they’d prefer; our crisp, modern tuning in higher-pitch, or, as demonstrated here, the more old-fashioned, warmer tones of the previous century.

3/4 Marches.

This was captured during a home practice session; I’m glad my phone’s audio recording isn’t too bad! Marches like these fit a wide range of events, so it’s healthy to have many on hand.

Marches: Banks of Allan Water, and The Highland Brigade at Magersfontein.

Some Old-Fashioned Jigs.

Played on the old-fashioned setup: The Curlew, and another jig I can’t find the name for (I Laid a Herring in Salt?). A bit fast and sloppy, but most fun things are!

Piping at the MacCrimmon Cairn, Isle of Skye.

A cold, windy moment captured with a cellphone, but an honor nonetheless! (6/8 March: Trees of North Uist)

Two Lively Marches.

These were recorded in my kitchen as samples for students, but I think they make a fine addition to my samples page! I played these tunes on my McCallums, as seen in many of the posted videos.

Hornpipe and Jig for the neighbors.

Here I am, playing where it all began: my parents’ house. This was for an early-covid event amongst pipers and drummers across the globe. (Hornpipe: Marion’s Hornpipe / Jig: Paddy O’Rafferty)
