Bag Pipe
Player Robert, is able to adorn a number of uniforms in any level of Highland
wear, from
evening and day wear, to full highland dress uniform. He has played the pipes since he was a young laddie. In his teens, he was a member of a Territorial Army unit, where he also played the bagpipes. Robert is now a well respected musician. Having been fortunate enough, to have been taught by the very best of piping tutors, he is proud to carry on the skills and traditions handed down to him. He was a founder member of the Blue Bonnets (City of London) Pipe Band, a piper with British Caledonian Airways Pipes & Drums. This piper has performed several times on TV, including the hit single “We Have A Dream” by John Gordon Sinclair & B. A. Robertson, on Top of the Pops. He was one of the pipers you can hear in the latter part of the song. The song was the official song for the Scottish football team for the 1982 World Cup. He has performed around the world including North and South America, Africa, the Middle East, Europe and South East Asia. You can watch video clips of him performing by scrolling down this page. Robert is now playing and instructing with The Surrey Pipe Band, and teaching pipes at the Gordon's School, near Chobham, Surrey. He performs regularly at weddings, funerals and corporate events, throughout London, Surrey, Kent, West Sussex, East Sussex, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Berkshire. As he has many pipe band colleagues he can also be joined by other pipers and / or drummers as and when required. His services can be tailored precisely to your requirements and can include a selection of varied musical preferences.
It is important to remember that you don't have to be
Scottish to have a piper at your wedding or special event. Different
versions of the pipes are played as traditional instruments in many
countries around the world. It is quite common to have a piper or piper and
drummer at Asian weddings. If someone has a connection with the military a
piper is also a common feature. It some cases, it's just because the person
loves the sound of the pipes or wants something that creates a moving impact
on guests. Look At Customer Reviews And References From Previous Clients |
