Charlie was taught as a youngster by Charles Craig, a Pipe
Major in the Scots Guards - a hard and demanding task master but a true
teacher. After 3 years of dedicated chanter practice learning all of the
necessary musical scales, movements and techniques, Charlie graduated to the
pipes themselves and over the next 4 years gained proficiency in playing as a
member of the local Royal British Legion Pipe Band. Having
subsequently played with competition bands both in Britain and abroad Charlie
can ensure that your special event is a great success. Make your
special day sparkle and go with a zing, or simply listen to the lilting skirl
of the pipes and hear the beautiful melodies of ancient Scotland - music that
reaches the very depths of the inner being, and touches the soul ! |

To Make a Piper . . . "To make a piper go seven
years
.. and at the end of his seven years one born to it will stand at
the start of knowledge, and leaning a fond ear to the drone he may have parley
with the old folks of old affairs. Playing the tune of the 'Fairy Harp' he can
hear his ancestors plaided in skins, towsy-headed and terrible, heaving at
their sodden oars or snoring in their hidden caves. Playing 'The Desperate
Battle of the Birds' he will see the white-haired sea-rovers on the shore and a
red stain on the edge of the tide. Lingering over a lament he can stand by the
cairn of Scotland's past kings, ken the colour of Fingal's hair and see the
moon glint on the sickle of the druids. This truly is music to stir the blood
and reach the inner soul of man !" Neil Munro |
