What do bagpiper services include?

Bagpiper services include all the activities necessary for a hired bagpiper to add a touch of Scottish highland heritage to your event. Your hired bagpiper can perform at your wedding, birthday party, charity fundraiser or any other special occasion you want garnished with a bagpipe’s unique tunes. 

Discussing and preparing their set

Your Tasker can meet with you online or in person to discuss their role and which songs to play. You can share the schedule and program of the event while they share a selection of songs they can play that is appropriate for the occasion. You may choose from their selection, but don’t hesitate to ask if they can play your favourite songs!  

But take note, the bagpipe is an unusual musical instrument that’s limited to only nine notes. You can check with your Tasker if they can play the song you want, and they can say if they can play it on their bagpipe.  

Demonstrating songs and traditional dress

If you are unsure of what songs will sound appropriate for your event, some Taskers can play some parts of the songs for you. This can be done via a video conferencing call, or you may be invited to see a live performance - if they perform at a Burns Supper or concert.  

Your Tasker can also show you their intended dress for your event. They can wear and show you the full regalia - the Highland outdoor dress consisting of the traditional kilt, tartan, tartan flashes, belt, knee-high socks, ghillie brogues, a Sgian-dubh ornamental blade, sporran pouch, vest and jacket. 

Upon request, some Taskers can wear a tartan and kilt that match with yours, though you may want to provide these accessories. Speaking of outfits, be sure to hire someone to make the appropriate outfit for your event! 

Attending rehearsals

To make sure your event goes smoothly and your Tasker knows when to perform, they can attend rehearsals. Your Tasker can perform the songs you agreed upon and fine-tune their instrument during practice, if necessary. You may want to hire someone to guide them through the program and assist them on the event day. 

Performing at your event

As agreed, your Tasker can arrive at your event venue on schedule and in full attire. They can tune the bagpipe on-site before their performance. They can do the contracted songs at the appropriate times, but they may take short breaks between songs to catch their breath. If your guests make requests, some Taskers may accommodate these and perform them. Â
