Piped in by Bryce McCulloch
Provider of Scottish Bagpipe Music
Wedding Piper for Hire
About Bryce
Hello
My name is Bryce McCulloch and I have played the Scottish Highland Bagpipes for
over 30 years. I play the highland
bagpipes because I love the instrument and wish to share its Scottish music
culture and traditions to as many people as possible.
In my early 20s I wished that I had persevered
with my school violin music lessons; but after some grief from my friends,
regretfully, I dropped the music
lessons. I was about to begin the violin again when, out of the blue, my
brother Gordon gave me a highland bagpipe practice chanter as a Christmas
present. I did not look back. It was the best present I ever received. I practiced
for hours each night and eventually joined my local band, Maybole
Pipe Band. After I was confident with
my playing in the band and comfortable with an audience I slowly developed my solo
piping career.

Piping Career of Bryce
Since those early days I have developed into a good steady
piper, (not my words), with both Solo piping and Band piping experience. I
concentrate my playing as a Solo Piper although I played with the Maybole Pipe
Band at the beginning.
After five years band experience I was offered the Resident
wedding piper at Culzean Castle Ayrshire, Scotland and through word of mouth enquiries
and hotel recommendations I keep busy piping at Weddings, Funerals, Dinners, Burns Suppers and
events where people require the sound of the Scottish highland bagpipes. I have
been resident piper at Trump Turnberry Resort and Golf
courses for over 10 years. Over the years I have played at over 1300 weddings.
In September 2008 I was nominated for the VOWS award to the wedding industry.

Other Instruments
I also play the Scottish Small Pipes, a traditional lowland pipe that has recently become more popular due to the array of new tunes written especially for it. The sound of this instrument is ideally suited to indoor entertainment and blends in well with other instruments like violin, guitar, accordion and Clarsach. This is a discipline that I would like to develop further as it is a rediscovered instrument well suited to modern day traditional entertainment.
