I’m a professional Scottish bagpiper for hire. Available 7 days a week. I grew up in Glasgow and started learning the pipes at 11 years old. Then moved to the north of England in my early 20s. I have 30 years continuous experience playing to a high standard with pipe bands in Scotland and England. I’ve performed at hundreds of events as a solo musician. Including weddings, funerals, birthday parties, and more.
I play a wide repertoire of music, and am always happy to accommodate requests. Please listen to my audio files for a brief sample of what’s available on the Scottish bagpipes.
What I love most about my job is the feedback and appreciation I receive from my satisfied customers. Visit my Facebook page (www.facebook.com/malcolmmusic.org) to find 5-star reviews and recommendations from satisfied customers.
I perform the bagpipes for weddings regularly throughout Lancashire, North Yorkshire, County Durham, West Yorkshire, Cumbria & the Lakes. I also travel nationwide on request.
