Events.

Bagpipes serve as a perfect addition to traditional events and ceremonies, symbolising continuity and respect, paying heartfelt tributes to loved ones, and enhancing the overall ambiance. With their evocative melodies, bagpipes remind us of camaraderie and tradition, eliciting strong emotions that resonate deeply.

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.

Booking Fees:

Rod Gillies’ booking fees are tailored to several factors, ensuring a bespoke and unforgettable experience. The fees are influenced by the event’s duration, the location of the performance, and the preferred arrangement—whether you desire Rod’s solo performance or a harmonious ensemble alongside a Pipe Organ or other musical instruments. By considering these variables, Rod can offer you a personalised package that caters to your specific needs and guarantees an exquisite musical presentation. See Booking Fee information.
