DESCRIPTION:
Adam Holdaway began playing bagpipes at the age of eleven under the instruction of renowned piping instructor Archie MacLeod. At an early age, Adam began competing in solo piping competitions and has competed with a number of prestigious bands including the grade 2 (highest grade of competitive band piping in the northeast US) Tulach Ard pipe band based in Lexington, Massachusetts, as well as the Manchester Pipe Band of Manchester, Connecticut.Adam is one of the most sought after instructors in the Boston area. He joined with Matthew Phelps to form Bay State Pipers and The Massachusetts Institute of Piping, which has over 30 students enrolled on a weekly basis. In addition to private instruction, Holdaway is also the instructor for the Boston Police Pipe Band, the Stuart Highlanders, the Boston Fire Brigade Pipe Band and the Clan MacPherson Pipe Band. Adam has competed throughout the Eastern US and has recently won the prizes for Piper of the Day at The Scottish Arts Indoor games, The Southern New Hampshire Highland Games, The Colonial Highland Gathering at Fair Hill, Maryland, The New Hampshire Highland games at Loon Mountain, and The Rockland County Irish Feis in New York. Adam has won prizes not only in the US, but also in Scotland and Canada, including a second place in the Professional 'A grade' Piobaireachd (classical music for the bagpipes) in Perth, Scotland. Adam has also performed at the prestigious Nicol-Brown Invitational Contest in October 2002. In addition to his own solo achievements, Holdaway has been the pipe major of the Stuart Highlanders since 2002, and was instrumental in their upgrades from grade 5 to grade 3. With the addition of a new grade 4 and 5 band, the Stuart Highlanders enjoy being Massachusetts’ premiere bagpiping organization. Besides competitions, Adam has single-handedly produced and conducted piping concerts and recitals throughout Massachusetts. He can be heard on several movie soundtracks, including the box office hit, The Boondock Saints. Holdaway is also featured on St. Andrews Presbyterian College's album, The Knight Life.
