About

Fresh performing bagpipers with a lively style, we bring humour and life to weddings across Scotland. We are James and Robin, and we're breaking the piper stereotype of boring tartan statues and making bagpipes fun again! We have bucketloads of personality, a fantastic planning journey, excellent customer service, and a great experience that will have your guests talking about your wedding for years to come.

We believe that bagpiping ability should be a given when booking a piper, but sadly, it is not always the case. By watching our endless videos online, you will quickly see that, with 13 years of bagpiping under each of our belts, we won't make your ears bleed—no one wants that piper! We love playing modern tunes such as Mamma Mia, Star Wars, the Game of Thrones theme, and many more.

Please do get in touch and ask us as many questions as you like—we are here to help!

Harmony Bagpiping is a professional bagpipe-playing duo in Glasgow.
