Music / Sound, Performance

For the past 30 years, I have been playing the Scottish bagpipe for Weddings, Parties and Funerals.
I have won gold and silver medals for bagpipe excellence throughout the region.

Regardless of nationality people enjoy my music, it touches their hearts and is satisfying.

I will continue to promote Celtic music through my talent on the Scottish bagpipe, the Whistle and Irelands little known bagpipe; the Uilleann (ill-un) pipe.
It s quieter and sweeter sounding than the Scottish bagpipe.
Almost no one on the planet know of this important cultural musical instrument, even those in Ireland.

Through in person entertainment, festivals, CD's and the internet I will continue to educate and entertain as many people as possible about the beauty of Celtic music.

About the Artist

My life has been enriched by playing the magnificent Scottish bagpipe for over 30 years. I used to play in street bands that we all love to see on St. Patrick's Day and the 4th of July. During Highland Games throughout our region I have won gold and silver medals for bagpiping excellence, Currently I offer my services to Senior Living Spaces, featuring a one hour presentation to inform and entertain residents. https://celticmusicforseniors.com I play also music for weddings, parties and funerals. https://bagpiperofbaltimore.com My love of Celtic music runs deep as I continue to cultivate music on the  little known bagpipe of Ireland and the Whistle. Both instruments feature heavily in Irish music, like those seen in Pubs. Almost no one on the planet, even in Ireland know of their national bagpipe. It is called the Uilleann (ill-un) pipe, Uilleann in Gaelic means "elbow" referencing the movement of the pipers arm as he uses a bellows to put air in the bag. This instrument is much quieter and sweeter sounding that the Scottish bagpipe. My goal is to reach, educate and entertain as many people as possible about this little known, seen and heard of instrument.
