Booking Performances
I
am available for hire to entertain at weddings, receptions, funerals, memorials,
celebrations, parades, heritage occasions, festivals, product launches,
corporate and most other kinds of events.
To bring further flair and excitement to your occasion, I can also
book for you...
- additional
Highland bagpipers
- Highland
drummers
- Scottish and Irish
dancers
- a
pipe and drum corps
- a
drum kit player for a modern edge
- some other types of performers
Let
me know what you have in mind, and I can tell you what can be done.
Contact me early
for a bid and to secure your date.
Check my Schedule Page to see if I may be
available on the date of your event. Spring
through Fall tends to be the busy season for pipers -- chiefly with
weddings -- so I recommend making arrangements with a performer as much in advance
as possible. Except with funerary events, at any
time, I consider
performance agreements made within 30
days of the event to be short notice and may ask additional fees.
If you email
me about your event, at very
least I will need to know the following before I can start to form a
bid...
- What
type of event you will be holding - wedding, memorial, birthday,
corporate event,
et cetera
- Roughly what parts of your event
you want me to play - as guests arrive, introducing a corporate
presentation, beginning/middle/end of a wedding ceremony, et cetera
- The
date along with the projected start & end time of your event
- The
approximate if not exact location/s of your event - at least the city,
part of town,
cross streets, location/venue links, et cetera
Be sure to include these
details with your message.
Various garmenting options are available to suit the needs of your
event. Check my Gallery section for
'formal/shirt & tie' examples and my Recent Photos section for
'casual/Tshirt boots' examples.
The last I checked, I am also an ordained minister through the
Unitarian Life Church of Montesano California. If you want a
wedding or memorial with a priest piper, talk to me well in
advance of your event.
When
hiring a Highland bagpiper, be prepared -- as a plumber might tell you
-- 'good piping isn't cheap, and cheap piping isn't good'.
After money has done the talking, Highland bagpipes do the rocking.
I
am PayPal
verified -- while I have not
yet handled a booking through PayPal there is a first for
everything.
