Description
With over a decade of experience in both the competitive and professional event field, I will provide complete satisfaction for any event that requires the highland pipes in the Baltimore-Washington Metro area. I've performed at numerous venues in the United States, Canada and Scotland. As a competitive player, I am currently in the grade 1 solo level and a member of the City of Washington Pipe Band, one of four grade 1 pipe bands in the United States. Aside from competition, I have provided services at numerous weddings, funerals, concerts, and media programs. I guarantee a professional performance upon request.

Feedback
- Duncan led my father and I down the aisle and there wasn't a dry eye in the place! It was absolutely amazing and beautiful. After the ceremony he played for the guests as they made their way to the tent. Every single one of our guests commented on how beautifully he played. He made my wedding day! To sum it up as my new husband just said "He ROCKED!". Thank you Duncan so much!!!!!! -- Maureen R, Elkton, MD, 5/5/2012
- Out of all the preformers that contacted me, Duncan was the most professional. I hired him to play amazing grace at my Mother's funeral. He was very accommodating even though it was last minute. I'm not sure how he did it, but he was waiting at the perfect time when we arrived at the cemetery. He played a somber tune as we carried her casket to to the final resting place, and when he played amazing grace it was "amazing". It was a very emotional day, and I'm glad I chose Duncan to play as it really did make my mom's ceremony beautiful. -- Joe H, Broomall, PA, 1/25/2012
- Duncan was wonderful and extremely accomodating!!! He was the highlight of the afternoon. Thank you, Duncan!!! -- Marybeth O, Havertown, PA, 3/17/2012
- Duncan provided a lovely processional and recessional as well as the music during the middle of our wedding ceremony.
I am a piper myself so I wanted a gifted musician who could accommodate my requests yet be flexible. Duncan played with grace and musicality and since I had requested specific tunes it helped set the staging during the processional i.e. groomsman, bridesmaid, flower girl, then myself.
I would highly recommend Duncan and his services to others. My only regret is that I didn't have him play more! -- Catherine E, Fairfax, VA, 12/21/2011
- Duncan's kindness and professionalism precede him, which is just and added extra to his talent with the pipes. I hope to see Duncan again under a less somber occasion, like hopefully my son's wedding or party. He gave a very decent respectful service foro my husbands funeral and if I must say, those pipes flowed right from the earth and staright towards heaven. Thanks Duncan

- Duncan performed at our wedding ceremony and our guests couldn't stop talking about him. He was great to work with and easily able to get ahold of. He added that extra special touch to our St. Patrick's Day Wedding.
Thanks
Niki and Rob -- Nicole K, Fleetwood, PA, 3/17/2012
- Excellent performer, dependable, flexable and accomodating. Would gladly use him again. -- Evan D, Arlington, VA, 11/5/2011
- Duncan was absolutely perfect! I hired him for my Dads service and when he started playing, he really affected people with his music. So many people came up to me and said how fabulous he was. He really was such a find!I hope I don't need him for a sad event anytime soon but he is definitely the man I would call for any event in the future!!
If Duncan is an option then there is no other option
-- Karen S, Bethesda, MD, 9/13/2011
- Our experience with Duncan was excellent! We hired him to play our processional and recessional for our wedding in Annapolis, MD. He played the songs flawlessly and was patient despite the bride being 20 minutes late. Leading up to the wedding, he was accessible and accommodating to changes in the plan and when it came time to play, he delivered 100%. If you're looking for an excellent bagpiper, hire him!
Thanks Duncan! -- Sean C, West River, MD, 7/9/2011
- A wedding is comprised of many pieces (pieces that do not always fit together smoothly)...when we experienced one of these "hiccups", Duncan rose to the occasion and helped our event succeed, more so than if the original plan had carried forward. Big thanks for all your help/efforts, you helped make our occasion quite memorable/special. -- Douglas F, Harpers Ferry, WV, 7/5/2011
- Duncan was a great addition to our event. he responded quickly to the gig masters web site when requesting him for the performance, followed up by phone to coordinate directions type of event and my expectations and song choices. he called the morning of the event to confirm was prompt and everyone enjoyed his performance. i would hire him again for future events needed a bagpiper. gig masters makes it easy to "audition" several acts. -- Carol L, Severn, MD, 3/17/2011
- We would hire Duncan again at future events. -- Julie H, Springfield, VA, 3/3/2012
