Professional Scottish Bagpiper for Hire in Yorkshire and Beyond – Weddings, Funerals & Private Events


Over 30 Years of Piping Experience

Ed is a professional bagpiper with decades of experience performing across the UK and beyond. He has taught in the British Army, competed and won prizes with top pipe bands like Manchester Phoenix, and played at thousands of events — from weddings and funerals to military dinners, schools, and celebrity functions.

Flexible Options for Every Occasion

Ed is available for all kinds of events — weddings, parties, funerals, birthdays, Burns Suppers, military occasions, and care home entertainment. Performances can be tailored with Scottish or Irish attire and repertoire. For indoor venues or quieter moments like wedding ceremonies, Ed can also play a professional electronic bagpipe setup, ideal for controlled volume and playing along with backing tracks.

Based in Sheffield, Ed is perfectly positioned to serve Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Greater Manchester, Nottinghamshire, The Peak District, and Staffordshire. No event is too far — Ed is an enthusiastic traveller who has performed not only across the UK but also internationally in Croatia, France, Spain, Germany and Slovenia.
