What does a Bagpiper Actually Do?

Bagpipers will perform instrumental music using their pipes and offer a very distinct sound.  Usually they will perform traditional Celtic songs such as “Flower of Scotland”, “Amazing Grace” or the “Highland Cathedral” and they play their instrument by inflating the bag by blowing into the blowpipe.  There are a number of other technical parts to playing a bagpipe so many of these instrumentalists spend years practicing their performance, both alone and in groups.

How long will Bagpipers perform for?

Each bagpiper or bagpiping group will have their own performance times so it is always advisable to get in touch with them to see if they can accommodate your event.  As a rough guide, bagpipers will usually be happy to perform for a couple of hours.

One of the great things about our entertainment directory is that it is completely free to contact performers for a no-obligation quote.  Since each performer will have their own prices and fees, again we recommend contacting them for an accurate quote.  What have you got to lose?
