With a wide repertoire of songs, Craig has extensive experience in bringing the traditional music of Scotland to a range of events, but his speciality is weddings and the stirring "skirl" of his bagpipes will add a special touch to your romantic day. Friendly, reliable and highly recommended, Craig offers 20 years of experience playing at weddings and other special events.
He is the only piper in the area to offer smallpipes and many other customisable options-all to add a memorable touch to your special day. He will even let you pick which tartan he will wear and what tunes he will play! After happy customers nominated Craig, the Scottish Confetti Wedding Awards selection committee presented him the Best Piper Award at the 2020 ceremony in Glasgow.
Most of Craig's events are in Gretna Green and the surrounding area, but he does travel nationally - and, on occasion, internationally - for special events. Whether it's up the local street to the registrar's office or on stage in South Korea, rest assured Craig will be on time and ready to play.
