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.

Celtic Whistle

As well as the Great Highland Pipes, I also play the Low D Whistle (which is captured below), and its smaller counterpart, the Penny Whistle. Or Tin Whistle. Or one of its six other names.

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.

Smallpipes!

Much more enjoyable in an indoor and more intimate settings, these are Scottish smallpipes. Here I’m playing two pieces by mentor and friend, Fred Morrison, called Portobello and Carlos Barral of Oviedo

Saffron and Cowboys

Here are a couple wonderful waltzes, first is The Saffron Kilt, the other is the Cowboy Waltz.

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.

When the Battle’s O’er

Originally a ¾-time retreat march for Bagpipes, I decided to highlight the extreme ends of a battle ending: sadness, and celebration.

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)

Outlander Theme

While I myself have not seen the show (which many find shocking), this is the main theme, a tune named “The Skye Boat Song”.

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.

Pub Jigs

Some up-tempo chaos perfect for a setting with alcohol and good, greasy food!
