To hire me for your event, please get in contact via my email address which is gautengpiper@gmail.com  You can also contact me via WhatsApp on 0848437252 or voice call me.

You can also fill in the Enquiry   form which help me understand your requirements better.

We will discuss your requirements in depth and if you need advice for your event, we can discuss this as well. Especially when it comes to funerals, this is not something that is planned, and not a function anyone plans often, I have done so many and I can advise on what the minister, priest or pastor usually allows. 

We can discuss tunes, but please take note that the Great Highland Bagpipe is a restricted instrument in that we have 9 notes on the chanter (the part that makes the tune) we can therefore not always play any tune you may want us to play due to octave changes, and not every tune, even if there is music for it, sounds good or right on the bagpipe, so I reserve the right to decline any tune I feel is not appropriate for the bagpipe.

A good example is Taps (the last post) this is not a bagpipe tune, it is a trumpet or bugle tune. Although it can be played on a bagpipe, it does not carry the same emotion as when played on the instrument it was written for.  Pipers usually play a lament instead of the Last post. The Last Post is a tune I do not play.

When enquiring about tunes, please give me or let me know as soon as possible what tunes you would like so that I can either learn the tune, (if I do not know it) or if we need to find a different tune as an alternative, I will however do my very best to accommodate your requirements.
