For those of you who are looking to hire a bagpiper for a wedding in 2011, then may i offer you a word of advice. There are 5 major pipe band championships throughout the summer. These are dates when most competing pipers get together and compete for the accolades of pipe band competition. This means that the supply of pipers for weddings on these days is greatly reduced, so book early. Just a wee word of advice from a friendly piper!
DATES for 2011
21st May – Scottish Championship at Dumbarton
25th June – British Championship at Annan
30th July – European Championship at Belfast
13th August – World Championship at Glasgow
27th August – Cowal Championship at Dunoon
