About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

. The Great Highland Bagpipes have been on Jim's bucket list since first attending a highland festival back in college. The highlight of Jim's piping career to date has been performing along side the Philadelphia Emerald Society Pipe Band with the legendary Chieftains on stage at the Kimmel Center in downtown Philadelphia, PA. Serving the Philadelphia, PA, NJ, DE & MD areas, with other areas on a case by case basis. Playing for beginnings, ends and life's every day celebrations in between. Jim has played weddings, funerals, birthday parties, golf outings, conventions, private & public St. Patrick's Day celebrations, participated in countless parades and pipe band competitions with the Philadelphia Emerald Society Pipe Band, busked from Bourbon Street to South Street and has been booked by a couple of pubs here and there. Additional testimonials, photos and videos are available on my Facebook page in my contact info. Thank you for considering me for your event.

Country Club EventReviewed on July 25, 2016From Avalon, NJ

Jim was fantastic! His pipes and presentation really made our golf outing a true links experience for everyone!

Review by John G.

FuneralReviewed on June 23, 2016From Glen Mills, PA

We needed a piper on short notice to play at a funeral. Internet searches including Gigmasters rated Jim highly so we reached out to him and a few others. He was the first to respond. We was consistently responsive and professional in every way. He took special requests and dressed in the Scottish tradition we requested. He was flexible with arrangements before and during the ceremony. His music and decorum were perfectly appropriate and helped make the day what we envisioned. I highly recommend Jim to anyone looking for a great bagpiper in Philly or the surrounding vicinity.

Jim McGilvery Bagpipes Philadelphia:

Thank you John for inviting me to participate and for the very kind words. I am glad the pipes were well received. I appreciate you taking the time to write a review for me. Thank you again and God Bless. Jim McGilvery

Review by Anna K.

FuneralReviewed on June 8, 2016From Horsham, PA

My husband requested 2 things for his funeral and the bagpipes are one. My husband would have been very pleased with his performance and the reverence he showed. I was not able to speak with him but I have already recommended him to the funeral director for future needs.

Jim McGilvery Bagpipes Philadelphia:

Thank you Anna so much. I appreciate you allowing me to participate and for recommending me to the director. Sincerely, Jim
