Absolutely brilliant! Highly recommend Alan to anyone wanting a bag piper.
Added a special touch to our day. He was friendly and professional.
If you need a bagpiper for a wedding, party or any other function in the Lancashire, Manchester, Cheshire and Merseyside areas, then Alan is the artist for you! Alan started playing at the age of 7 and by 9 was competing with the Chorley Pipe Band travelling the length and breadth of England and Scotland.
Under the pupilage of Joe Swarbrick and the late George Walkingshaw, brother of Bob Walkingshaw, the founding Pipe Major of Chorley Pipe Band, Alan has taken part in many contests, including all the major championships, such as the World Championship in Glasgow and the Dunoon Cowal Championship. Competing since the age of 9 Alan has maintained a standard of bagpiping to satisfy people’s needs and expectations.
Alan has recently also appeared in Coronation Street!
As a Wedding Day Piper Alan is able to provide a traditional highland experience and offers 3 styles of dress for the occasion:
• A black jacket with Fraser ancient hunting tartan
• A blue or navy jacket with the Macbeth modern tartan
• A Macleod of Harris ancient hunting tartan

Alan could not have been more professional, he rang a couple of nights before to ask what I wanted and was very friendly and cheerful. He basically just did it, he went above and beyond to make sure everything was right, he knew what he was doing and I had no problem leaving him to it. Under these circumstances it's good to have people who just "get on with it" and for that I would recommend Alan to anyone wanting this type of service.

Alan played at our wedding on 10th August - he offered us a good range of music, was able to play the songs that we specifically requested and looked the part in his Highland outfit. He played a couple of sets and added a special touch to our day. He was friendly and professional so very much recommended.
