I wish I could remember my very first lesson on the old wooden practice chanter that my father placed in my hands 13 years ago. My dad, who had just left the army, wanted to pass down his love for the pipes and teach me everything he knew. Apparently, I took to the chanter like a duck to water and was lucky enough to start formal lessons at the age of 8.

​

My early years of bagpiping were a whirlwind of rapid progress—my mind was racing ahead of my fingers, eager to master every tune. There were moments of teary-eyed frustration, with sheets of music practically soaked from the challenge of learning so quickly. But I was determined, and that dedication turned what started as a childhood passion into a full-time vocation that I cherish every single day.

​

After ten years of lessons with my best friend and business partner, Robin, we set off on our solo ventures. But it wasn’t long before we realized how much fun it was to play the pipes together. Our fresh, energetic style was something different in the wedding industry, and so, Harmony Bagpiping was born.

​

Today, we’re both full-time pipers, bringing our love for the pipes and our unique style to weddings across Scotland, England, and Europe. For me, there’s nothing better than seeing the smiles and laughter we create, whether it’s surprising guests with a modern tune like Star Wars or Mamma Mia, or delivering our signature Harmony Bagpiping toast at the top table. I believe every event should be memorable, filled with emotion, energy, and a touch of the unexpected, and that’s exactly what I strive to bring to each performance.

​

Every performance is a chance to create unforgettable memories, and I’d love for the next one to be yours. So, if you’re looking for a piper who brings heart, soul, and a bit of fun to every note, I hope I’ll have the honour of playing for you soon!
