Paddy is a versatile performer who is at home on the concert stage, at festivals, corporate functions or your wedding or other special event. His highland bagpiping outfit features a smart green Irish kilt. He is noted for his striking appearances at historical and medieval re-enactments. When you hire Patrick you know that he has put in hours of practice, tuning, reed-making and instrument making into the music.
Bagpiping & Uilleann piping
Bagpiping & Uilleann piping
I am an exprerienced professional performer of Highland Bagpipes, Uilleann Pipes, Galician Pipes and Flute/Whistle.
I have done many many weddings and funerals over the years. Bear in mind that Uilleann Pipes can only be played sitting down. Scottish, and Galician Bagpipes can both be played while marching/walking. I would usually be hired to provide one instrument as they have different preparation and performance requirements. There are practical considerations if I was to double up, however, it has been done.
Galician pipes (from Spain) are quieter than bagpipes but strike a similar visual effect.
If you have something in mind for your special occasion why not drop me a message or call to discuss.
