He has also worked on the alternative comedy scene with Arnold Brown, Malcolm Hardy and Keith Allen (whose record company still owes him 60 poonds!). He was also the Piper in the London production of "Brigadoon" and has since been sent to sleep for 100 years. He also became quite famous recently as "The Piper of Hampstead Heath", when he took the mighty Corporation of London who prosecuted him for playing his bagpipes on Hampstead Heath, a great David and Goliath story which he lost, he has released 3 albums of his own and never sold 1 copy, if you would like to go down in history as the 1st person to buy one email him.
His music is Dull and boring so it should fit in with your collection. It incorporates many styles and is hard to categorize his latest album "Piper on the Heath" is solely bagpipe music but even this record could not be termed "orthodox", by Piping Officianados as most of them are boring bastards, but the album is interesting as it incorporates many different influences.
You really must book him to play for you and/or some sort of function! Press to send email
