Uilleann pipes or bagpipes?

I would just like to thank the piper so much for today, it was a beautiful addition to my grandfathers funeral and I honestly couldn't fault it in any way".Thank you again x Jade E.

"Dear Sean, I would just like say how wonderful the Uillean Piper was for my husband Paul's wake. The choice of music he played was excellent and he certainly played a little longer than his booked hour, everybody was very complimentary. I cannot fault the service that you provided". Kindest regards, Mrs Jackie O.

The uilleann pipes are viewed by many as more of an 'Irish' instrument.

The main differences between the uilleann pipes and the bagpipes, apart from the sound, are that the uilleann pipes are played seated and the piper wears smart casual attire.

The bagpiper plays whilst standing and is therefore more mobile.

He also wears a kilt and uniform, which for some clients is a decisive factor in choice.

You can find lots of information on our bagpipers, including an excellent video here.
