Originally from South Africa, I began learning the bagpipes in high school and went on to play as an active member of several established pipe bands, including Glen Allen Pipes and Drums, the Cape Field Artillery Pipes & Drums, and the renowned Nelson Mandela Artillery Pipe Band based at the Castle of Good Hope in Cape Town.
Currently, I'm an active piper with the City of Bristol Pipes and Drums, one of the longest-standing pipe bands in the South West of England.
I've performed at several high-profile official occasions, including Remembrance Day parades and the opening of Parliament.
I'm based in Bristol and regularly perform throughout the South West. This includes Bristol city and surrounding areas, Bath and North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire, North Somerset, Somerset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.
Travel beyond the South West is also available by arrangement.
