Full Biography

Meet Hunter Bagpiper

Hunter Bagpiper is a professional Highland bagpiper with over 25 years of performance and competition experience, available for weddings, funerals and memorials, corporate events, birthdays, Burns Night celebrations, festivals and special occasions.

Weddings

Want an entrance your guests definitely won't miss?

Hunter can perform at several key points during your wedding, including:

• Guest arrivals – traditional piping creates an immediate sense of occasion.
• Wedding party entrance – use the pipes to announce an important arrival.
• Ceremony – incorporate a favourite or meaningful piece.
• Newlywed exit – be piped out of your ceremony as your guests follow.
• Drinks reception and photographs – continue with livelier traditional and dancing tunes afterwards.

A wedding bagpiper is particularly effective for couples wanting to acknowledge Scottish or Celtic family heritage. The combination of full Highland dress, the pipes and a big entrance or exit also gives your photographer and videographer a fantastic focal point.

Funerals & Memorials

Highland pipes have a powerful association with remembrance and can provide an especially fitting tribute where Scottish or Celtic heritage is important to the family.

Hunter has extensive experience performing at funerals and memorial services and can play for arrivals, a procession, during the service or as a final farewell.

His repertoire includes appropriate pieces such as Amazing Grace and Danny Boy, with other personal requests welcomed where suitable for the pipes.

Corporate Events & Special Occasions

For events that need a strong ceremonial entrance or focal point, the bagpipes do the job without requiring a stage or lengthy performance.

Hunter can be booked for:

• Corporate events and VIP arrivals
• Awards and ceremonial occasions
• Birthdays and anniversaries
• Burns Night celebrations
• Christmas and New Year's Eve
• Festivals and public events
• Charity events
• Private parties

Traditional Pipes – With A Few Surprises

Hunter's repertoire is grounded in traditional Highland piping, with popular choices including:

Scotland the Brave | Flower of Scotland | Mairi's Wedding | Mull of Kintyre | Green Hills of Tyrol | The Mason's Apron | Amazing Grace | Danny Boy

He can also move away from tradition when the occasion calls for it, with repertoire including:

Thunderstruck – AC/DC | Game of Thrones Theme | The Wedding March | Happy Birthday | Waltzing Matilda

Hunter has performed at festivals alongside rock and folk bands, so he's equally comfortable taking the pipes beyond their traditional ceremonial setting.

If you have a particular piece in mind, requests can be discussed in advance and Hunter may also be able to learn suitable new material for your event.

25+ Years Of Piping Experience

Hunter started learning the bagpipes at just 14 years old and has since built more than 25 years of performing and competitive piping experience.

His experience includes:

• Competing with pipe bands locally and internationally at the highest level
• Successful solo piping competitions
• Performing before Queen Elizabeth II
• Performing for the Mayor of Glasgow at Glasgow City Hall
• Television appearances in South Africa
• Performances at cathedrals and churches in the UK and South Africa
• Festival appearances alongside rock and folk bands
• Extensive experience of weddings, corporate events, birthdays, funerals and memorials

That experience matters when you're booking a piper for a precisely timed entrance, procession or ceremony. Hunter understands that the performance needs to fit around what is happening on the day, including the inevitable changes to timings that come with live events.
