Bagpiper in California

I have more than 30 years of piping experience and usually perform in full highland dress, in the ancient, hunting, MacLeod tartan. I try to play for 5-9 engagements a month. I’ve played for numerous weddings, funerals, and other events, and in pipe bands.

I’ve studied in Edinburgh, Scotland, two separate years (1976-1977 and 2003-2004), and played in the Fettes College Pipe Band and at the Edinburgh Tattoo in the Castle, when I went to school there.

I’ve studied with some of the finest piping teachers and pipers in the world: Pipe Majors Ed Krintz, Sandy Jones, John MacFadyen, Joyce MacFarlane, Duncan Johnstone, Alasdair Gillies, Ian Whitelaw and Ken Sutherland.
