About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Whether your event requires the penetrating skirl of the Highland pipes or the quieter, more pub-friendly decibels of the smallpipes, you can be sure to have the right instrument and tune selection for your event. As a member of two local pipe bands - serving as a pipe sergeant and competitive piper - I have over 16 years of experience playing at pubs, weddings, funerals, commemorations, and a surprising variety of other events. I am new to Bash but not to piping. I first learned of the bagpipes through bagpipe maker Charlie Kron of C.E. Kron and Co, where I worked as a machinist during high school - shaping the instruments I would later learn to play. A few years later I joined the Iona College Pipe Band, regularly playing in local parades - including the notable St. Patrick's Day Parade in NYC. From there I struck off solo, but got back into band life several years ago.

Review by Stephanie B.

FuneralReviewed on October 20, 2024From Hillsborough, NC

Kirk played for my dad’s funeral service. He was very professional, easy to work with, and exceeded all my expectations. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again.
