Military.

Bagpipes are often played at various military events, including: Ceremonial Parades, Remembrance Services, Change of Command, Military Funerals, Mess Dinners, Graduations and Promotions, Homecomings and Deployments.

Bagpipes play a poignant role in honouring fallen soldiers during remembrance services and memorials.

Bagpipes’ presence at military events serves as a reminder of the instrument’s historical connection to military traditions and its enduring role in commemorating the bravery and sacrifices of service members.

There are a wide array of both traditional and modern tunes that can be selected for your event. For a personalised and meaningful selection, it is best to list preferences or discuss directly with Rod Gillies when booking, the accomplished bagpiper, who can offer expert guidance and help curate the perfect repertoire for the upcoming event.
