Great Highland Bagpipers
IMAGE 1-1:
The Great Highland Bagpipe is the Instrument most associated with Scotland and
we have decades of experience to draw upon.

Highland Dancers
IMAGE 1-2:
Highland Dancers will perform with the Highland Bagpiper or an
Accordionist after the main course has been cleared and prior to Dessert being
served. The performance would be about 8/10 minutes duration and include the
"Sword Dance" and the "Highland Fling." We normally recommend using three or
more dancers for the most visual effect - it also lets them have a breather if
they share the dancing as our Pipers have been known to keep the tempo going!
The dances can be spilt up so that they are between courses. For a Cabaret we
can supply a team of six or more dancers to dance more contemporary Scottish
dances like the 'Shindig'.

The Scottish Small Pipes
IMAGE 1-5:
The Scottish Small Pipes are a version of the Scottish Bagpipe which are belows
blown as opposed to mouth blown. They have a very melodic sound and can be used
as background music for drinks receptions (they are by no means as loud as the
Highland Bagpipe).

A Pipe Band Beating Retreat
IMAGE 1-6:
The Band will form into a circle or some other suitable formation allowing
Guests to approach and be a part of the finale. There is a further option in
that prior to marching out of the Hall at the end of their performance, the Drum
Major can approach the VIP/main player in the Group, salute, and ask permission
for the Band to "march off." This option can be confirmed on the night. Some
Guests create a BIG finale by doubling the size of the Band which, at risk of
stating the obvious, doubles the price. For events where there is a stage the
option is also there for a 'mini band' of approximately 9 to 10 members to play
on stage at an interval during the meal or to open the meal itself. Pipe Bands
are usually very flexible, use them how you wish.
