About
Hello, I am Cameron MacLeod Gair, award-winning bagpiper from Inverness, Scotland. My bagpipe life began in the Highlands of Scotland where I started learning from top players in the country. The excellent instruction continued when I moved to Orange County, CA in 2004. Kathleen Nicholson Graham (founder of Nicholson Pipes & Drums) took over my instruction and I have been a member of this band for over 8 years. Latterly, I was taught by Colin Armstrong (Pipe Major of the World-Class LA Scots Pipe Band). Now, I have established an extensive repertoire of both traditional and contemporary Scottish & Irish tunes.
Whether as a band or playing solo, I have played at countless events such as weddings, funerals, parties, graduations, law enforcement & fire department ceremonies, military affairs, and more! In addition to gigs and events, I have also performed competitively throughout the world. I have returned to the UK and won various prizes and have become the Western United States Grade 2 Champion in 2011.
I have now reached Grade 1 competition level, am teaching the bagpipes, and continue to dedicate my time for any ceremony or gig where needed.

"Cameron was above and beyond what I expected and really made my Grandmother's 100th birthday special. I am already getting requests from other party guests for him to play at their events.
He is very talented and really goes the extra mile to perform. He is also kind, handsome and friendly. I highly recommend him!"

"Cameron took an already lively party into overdrive! He was punctual, very friendly, and extremely accommodating amidst a wee rainstorm, and a horde of revelers. His airs were inspiring, and his dance sets were played with fire and finesse. We'll gladly welcome him back for future events, and would recommend him to anyone needing a dyed in the kilts highland piper. "

"Cameron played the pipes beautifully. It was the occasion of my mother's funeral/graveside service. He was absolutely professional (having arrived on time and prepared to the kilt ... excuse the pun.) When asked if he could play something "a little less traditional," he pulled The Beatles' Obladi Oblada off -- imagine it, lilting off the hillside over the cemetery. It was brilliant. Our family was pleased with how it colored mom's funeral service, and we left that place with a warm memory. "

"Cameron was cordial and easy to work with. He showed up on time and was very flexible and helpful for a memorial service that seemed more "play it by ear" than it should have been. Never once did he disappoint and was extremely helpful during a difficult time. His kind character showed through particularly when he took requests as we rode back from the burial at sea. I would gladly recommend Cameron to all of my friends and anyone who will listen. Thank you again, Cameron."

"I hired Cameron for my grandfathers memorial service and did so on very short notice. Not only did he respond with a quote right away, but he was kind and sympathetic to my circumstances. He showed up early, stayed past his expected time to perform and was professional and very accommodating to requests. He played beautifully and is a very talented young man. He interacted with the mourners and made us all feel at ease. Thank you Cameron!!! My grandfather would have been proud! I recommend Cameron for any event. What a lovely young man! "
