A wee clip of the Haggis being piped into dinner for last night's Burns Supper at MacDonald Drumossie Hotel, Inverness.
Thanks to Ops Manager Tomasz for the recording.

Graveside duties today for the final resting place of a much missed man. RIP John.

Kilvean Cemetery is a huge place on the outskirts of Inverness. It is very well maintained and all the staff ensure that everything runs like clockwork. They even managed to get the weather perfect for a cold day in January.

We're very pleased to announce that Inverness Pipers have been selected to continue providing piping recitals/presentations to visiting tourists. Last year we were regularly performing in Fort William however, this year not so much travelling will be required as we'll be in the Royal Highland Hotel in Inverness. It all starts again in May. The diary is certainly filling up.

A difficult one to play today, on the very sad occasion of a young mother, wife and daughter, belonging to the family of the Thin Blue Line. 💙

I learned my very first Scots Gaelic phrase in the army in the 1980's which was a regimental toast, usually recited (badly) following a performance. Little did I know that I'd marry a Gaelic teacher some 30+ years later.

Now with continuous home schooling and input from Mrs C. and also my 6yr old daughter 😏, I have completed 160 continuous days of learning gaelic on Duolingo. Some days have been easier than others, depending on content, but overall it's been quite an eye (wide-) opening experience.

The words in Gaelic are either very long....or very short. You don't pronounce half the letters.....or you add more sounds into a word. There are only 18 letters in the alphabet and you use them all.... frequently... sometimes all in one word 😂.

Above all, it's been great fun learning Gaelic and hopefully I'll gain confidence to use it in the numerous Gaelic settings we have in Inverness and further afield nationally.

I heartily recommend Duolingo (no I'm not earning a fee to endorse it 😁), but highly recommend that other resources are used alongside it. Here's to another 160 days ahead.

Mòran taing dhan a h-uile duine airson ur taic am bliadhna. Pìobairean Inbhir Nìs 😁👍

Thanks to everyone for your support this year. Inverness Pipers.

Very happy to be able to congratulate my Belgian TV production friends on winning the Rose D' Or award for best Factual Entertainment and Reality Show for 2024. This was for the programme 'Niks Te Zien' (Nothing to See) which included myself playing for Belgium's queen of rap Coley, at Tulloch Castle, Dingwall. Congratulations folks, enjoy!

Happy St. Andrew's Day everyone 😁👍

On reception duties tonight at Aldourie Castle, playing for the arrival of a group of Spanish guests. A bit colder than the pipes and fingers would have liked, but we struggled through 😏.

The final march away from the Avenches Tattoo. Full house and standing ovations for each performance, it's fair to say that we were very well appreciated.

A wee bit of jig entertainment at the end of the night 😁👍

Finale rehearsals. 28π heat 🥵

The big highlight of the year, Glasgow Green for the World Pipe Band Championships 2024. The City of Inverness grade 3A will be performing at 1152am. Good luck to all bands, it's staying dry so far 😁👍

Fantastic location for a lovely wedding, away from the humdrum, at Shieldaig Lodge. As photos were being taken, I played some well known airs including, 'The Skye Boat Song'.

Back on home turf today, on duty with the City of Inverness Pipe Band (4B & 3A) at the Inverness Highland Games. The weather was very kind to us in comparison to other years!!

In traditional Greek style, wedding ceremonies are typically late in the evening which means the wedding breakfast/reception, is even later. This one didn't start until 1030pm and continued until 440am!! 😲

Eleni and Dario exiting the church as Mr and Mrs in front of their family and friends. #wedding #weddingplanners #piperforhire #weddingpiper

Eleni arriving at the church for her big day. I don't know how she was feeling in her beautiful wedding dress, but I was certainly feeling the heat in my kilt 🥵

Playing to guests arriving at Eleni and Dario's wedding, St. Andrew's Church, Patras, Greece.

As a mark of respect and in honour of the 80th anniversary of those who fell on the Normandy beaches on 6th June 1944, I attended the Commonwealth War Graves monument, Tomnahurich Cemetery, Inverness, the now forever home to 171 casualties of World War's I and II, where I played 'When the Battle's O'er' in remembrance. Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.
