A thoughtful look at the world of bagpipes and bagpipe competitions

Sound Samples

On this page I have a few recordings and videos of myself playing. I’ve separated these into tunes that may be appropriate for various events, though most of the tunes can certainly be played in many settings. This is by no means an exhaustive list of the my repertoire, but will give you an idea of the types of tunes I play. The recording is an ongoing process, so check back from time to time to see what’s new.

Please note that I do not claim any copyright on any of these tunes or recordings, and they are not placed on the web for purposes of profit.
