I am currently a bagpiper in a succesful London based Pipe Band. We perform all over South East England for a variety of functions. In the past we have done Weddings, Fetes, Carnivals and Burns Night venues. We specialise in cabaret performances for which we can call upon a highland dancer.

             I can help you to make your special occasion even better, no matter what it is. I have performed at Eastern and Western Weddings, baptisms, garden parties, bar mitzvahs, Burns Night celebrations, Rememberance Services, and carnivals and fetes with the Epping Forest Pipe Band. I am also available to commemorate a loved one at Funerals or Anniversaries. Of course, I am also available for New Year's Eve celebrations.

             I was taught to play the pipes by Pipe Major Simon Bredin of the Epping Forest Pipe Band.

             All pipers memorise their tunes.  The list on this website has 127, but since I wrote it I have learnt a few more. I can play tunes for any occasion, from plaintive laments to jigs and hornpipes. When playing for long periods of time I have to take a short break every 15 minutes as piping puts a lot of strain on the lungs and left arm. With this in mind I can play for as long as required.

             If you are interested in hiring me, please email me at william@piperwilliam.co.uk . I live in south Essex, so I can travel anywhere in the South East. There is a small surcharge to cover petrol if the distance exceeds 25 miles. Prices will be dependant on the length of time I have to play for. If I am busy on the day, or if you want more than one piper, I can bring as many as you need with me. I can also hire out drummers as well. We will all wear full Highland Dress: find out more here.
