About
Recipient of the Gigmasters Best of 2012 Award!
With a rating average of 5 stars out of 5 by GigMasters clients, you can rest assured Neil Hubbard will go above and beyond to give you an excellent performance and great value for your money.
Providing high quality Scottish bagpiping performances in the Greater Seattle, Washington area since 1990, Neil has enhanced weddings, brought a high level of traditional honor to funerals and memorials, entertained at birthday parties, and added pomp and ceremony to many other events. Neil lives in Kirkland, Washington and will travel any distance to play at your event.
Neil has been the Resident Bagpiper at the Golf Club At Newcastle since 2004, piping the sun down from May through September. Neil also teaches three different Firefighter Pipe Bands: Seattle, Snohomish County and Eastside, as well as Seattle Police Pipes and Drums. In association with these bands Neil can provide a quartet, mini band, or massed pipes and drums. Contact Neil for a special rate.
The majestic sound of the Great Highland Bagpipe has been used for centuries to inspire warriors, welcome royalty, mourn the dearly departed, celebrate weddings, and bring distinction to virtually any other event. This awesome and powerful instrument adds emotional impact to any occasion, and a piper always provides a striking visual focal point.
As a long-time member of the Keith Highlanders Pipe Band, Neil has competed multiple times at the World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. Playing in this grueling, high pressure contest has honed Neil's confidence as a performer. Neil has performed at many more diverse celebrations including Carnaval in Mazatlan, Mexico, Fourth of July in Ketchikan, Alaska, and the week-long 1000th Anniversary of Clan Keith in Inverurie, Scotland. Neil has made many television appearances and has been featured as a soloist in the Keith's annual Kirkland Performance Center shows since 1998.
As a competitive solo piper, Neil perfected his musical skills, and piping judges have consistently praised him for his "great sounding pipe," "excellent tone and tuning," and "lovely, expressive playing." Neil is a successful solo piping competitor, having played on the boards in Scotland, Canada, California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.

"Neil is the best! He made our mother's memorial mass incredibly beautiful with his excellent, talented playing of the pipes. His compassion and comfortable demeanor are traits that put our family at ease. To top it off, our family name is Murray. Neil wore the Murray tartan at the memorial! His thoroughness in all he helped us with is something we will long remember."

Wedding Ceremony
in Seattle, WA
on 08/13/2011
"Neil was truly fantastic to work with. He arrived early, met with our officiant and worked out any last minute ceremony changes, and was the ultimate professional for the wedding. He was so calm and put together, it set the mood as we all got ready before the ceremony. The pipes sounded fantastic; even in the large warehouse, which is terrible for acoustics, it sounded great. Walking down the aisle to Irish Eyes are Smiling is a memory I will always treasure. Highly, highly recommend!"

"Mr. Hubbard was on time and well dressed.
He placed himself in great position and stood in the rain waiting for us to come.
He was an important part of the service without making himself a focal point. Very professional, very talented."

"Neil was great. He was on time, did everything that was requested of him in order to assist my daughter and her presentation on Ireland. He spoke to the children at their level using terms they understood. He even played a little extra as some classrooms stopped by after his first demonstration. I would recommend him highly. "
