About Me
NYC based bagpiper that has been playing the bagpipes since 2004.
I am an active Firefighter and a member of the famous FDNY Emerald Society Pipes and Drums.
Last minute is okay!
Last minute bookings are OK! I don’t mind working with short notice. Do you want just one bagpiper? Multiple pipers? A piper and a drummer? Multiple pipers and a drummer? I can provide you with whatever you need for your event. You will get a show that you will NEVER forget.


Hiring a Bagpiper
You can hire a bagpiper for ANY event you’d like. The possibilities are endless!
To name a few examples, I’ve performed at weddings, funerals, retirement parties, reunions, promotions, birthday parties, and golf outings. The list goes on.
Tunes
I have a vast repertoire of tunes that I choose from that will be appropriate for the event you are hosting. A “tune” is simply one song. A few tunes are played together in what’s called a “set” A set is typically comprised of three tunes.

One of the all-time greatest and most memorable experiences in our life so far was listening as Mike played the bagpipes for our son's class.

My wife and I hired Bobby to perform outside of the church following our wedding mass in Brooklyn and could not be more satisfied.
