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.
