Bring a unique flair to your event with a South West Bagpiper. Perfect for weddings, parties, Burns Nights, and other celebrations across Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, and Dorset.

When you’re planning a special event, nothing adds that extra touch of tradition and atmosphere quite like the sound of the Highland Bagpipes. With over 30 years of experience, as the South West Bagpiper I delight in bringing this unique and stirring music to events all over Devon, Cornwall, Somerset, and Dorset, creating memories that your guests will cherish long after the day has passed.

The bagpipes are incredibly versatile, able to set the tone whether you’re after something lively and festive or more reflective and poignant. My extensive repertoire includes traditional Scottish and Irish jigs, reels, and slow airs, perfect for matching the mood and theme of your event.

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, marking a special anniversary, hosting a corporate event, or planning a classic Burns Night, my bagpiping performance will add a wonderful element of tradition and excitement.

To ensure that I am available for your special event, I would encourage you to check the calendar of events for availability. I am often booked up to a year in advance, especially during peak seasons, so it’s a good idea to secure your date as early as possible. Whether you’re planning a wedding, a funeral, or a celebration, confirming your booking well ahead of time will help guarantee that I can bring my unique and memorable bagpiping services to your occasion.

Kind Feedback

After a truly memorable wedding celebration for Jessica and Rick.I just wanted you to know how much we appreciated every level of your professionalism… your sense of timing, ability to guide a clueless group of Americans on an enchanting walk to and from the chapel that no one will ever forget, your perfect choice of tunes, and your impeccable style! “Thank you” can never cover the scope of our gratitude for all you did to contribute to the magic of the day.

“We are so pleased we chose you to at our wedding, Paul. Your help and communication throughout made the planning seamless and a pleasure. You looked splendid and your playing wonderful.”

“Paul, I just wanted to thank you for your surprise appearance at our anniversary party. Your playing and performance were first rate and your humour had Edna in fits of laughter”

“We are so pleased you were available to play for my wifes funeral. As a proud Scot she would have loved your playing and choice of tunes and our Scottish relatives were very complimentary”

Thank you for keeping your playing at our wedding a surprise for Sean. As you piped me down the aisle the expression on his face was everything I could have wished for – and yes, there were some tears of appreciation.

Dear Paul, thank you so much for making Dad’s funeral so memorable. Your attentiveness and consideration throughout has been a great help and your playing, perfect.

Piping Hot

I also play the Highland and Border bagpipes, melodeon, flute, whistle and bodhran with the upbeat barn dance and Ceilidh band Piping Hot.

Playing lively Scottish, Celtic and Irish jigs and reels or rhythmic English dance tunes in either traditional or contemporary style – what a way to end the day’s celebrations!
