The uplifting skirl and somber sound of the Great Highland Bagpipes can bring a mystical and spiritual aura to practically any event or celebration. Although generally associated with all things Scottish, the inclusion of a bagpiper has become a common element at funerals, weddings, and multiple other gatherings and ceremonies.
Derek has been bagpiping for nearly 47 years. He has played at hundreds of bagpipe engagements in a variety of venues, has instructed dozens of bagpipers in several bands, and has developed a knack for troubleshooting and addressing bagpipe maintenance issues.
Vancouver-based bagpiper, Derek Davidson, is proudly available to perform across southern British Columbia and beyond. Derek’s bagpipe performances take him throughout the Mainland, on to Vancouver Island, and to northwestern Washington State. If you are considering bagpipe music for your event, please peruse the website.
The majestic music flowing from a well-tuned bagpipe assists families and friends in bringing a sense of calm closure while celebrating the life of a loved one.
Bagpipers have been entertaining guests at weddings, banquets and parties for centuries. According to Scottish tradition, if a bagpiper greets the bride first, she is assured of a long and successful marriage.
