What made you learn?

“Cliff found his dad’s old practice chanter when he was six years old. His dad taught him the basics and at the age of eight he treated Cliff to some private lessons. Receiving his first set of bagpipes on his ninth birthday, the bagpipe bug had truly started and as quick as you know it, Cliff was entering the competition field at the age of 12 with the Speedbird Pipe Band. Cliff has never looked back”

Testimonials

“I cannot praise Cliff highly enough. His lovely telephone manner gave me confidence that he was the right man for the job, the job being, playing at my Scottish Mum’s funeral. He helped me decide what should be played and we agreed on how he would conduct himself on the day. His playing was beautiful and everyone loved it. Thank you so very much”

“Thank you so so much for Thursday, you were amazing and took the whole event to another level. ‘What an ending’ I’ve heard, and “whoever thought to get that bagpiper, genius”. You were perfect, and thank you for your collaboration in the pipe tuning to concert pitch, it sounded great. Timing was perfect and it was exactly what I had envisioned and more”
