The Irish Highland Piper
The Irish Highland piper is based in Connaught but is happy to perform anywhere in Ireland for weddings, celebration or special events. He has a choice of 3 uniforms which are red tartan (Boyd), blue tartan or a plain green (Irish tartan).
The Irish Highland Piper is originally from Achill Island off the west coast of Mayo, which has a huge culture and background of Irish Music.
He has been playing the bagpipes for many years and have competed at the highest standard across Ireland, UK and the USA. He has also performed the bagpipes/bellow pipes at many functions throughout Ireland which have been on television and he takes pride in all aspects of his work and is a true professional.
He has played weddings at many well known venues across Ireland.
He is also heavily involved in traditional Irish music so if you are also looking for some traditional music during the event he can bring his Uillean pipes and flutes and provide a duo or trio at a reduced fee if he is already at the event.
