Here are images of The Professional Bagpiper performing at events of all kinds, from funeral to weddings to competition, Michael has done it all.
When a bagpiper is not playing, their responsibility is to stand at attention. When performing the bagpipes at a funeral or wedding, looking the part is as important as sounding the part.
Take care to be ready to start playing the bagpipes when the time arrives is a must.
Bagpipers performing for a crowd is always a thrill for both the piper and the audience.
