- Beginnings
Started through the 128th Glasgow Boys Brigade under tutor David Wyper, then onto Williamwood Pipe Band where I went on to play for the next 19 years joining SFR Pipe Band in 2013
- Other Bands and Achievements
World Championship wins in Grade 4B & Grade 4A in 2002 & 2003 respectively. European Championship win in 3B in 2006, British Championship win in Grade 3A in 2009, Cowal Championship wins in Grade 3A in 2007 & 2009, all with Williamwood Pipe band.
- Favourite Band
Any band that stands out as being on absolute top form on the day. But have to say that B*Witched are probably my favourites
- Favourite Tunes
In no particular order, Mrs MacPherson Of Inveran, Pipe Major Donald McLean of Lewis, C'Est La Vie, and The Roses Of Prince Charlie
- Favourite Contest
Probably The Worlds but Cowal will always be special for me, as that where I got my inspiration to learn to play
- Most Admired
My Pipe Majors at Williamwood, each of whom I learned so much from. Andy Melvin, Iain Wyper & Ewan Henderson. Beyond that Richard Parkes for sustaining such a high quality & pushing the boundries for so many years & Stuart Liddel for what he has achieved at Inverarry in such a short space of time & for what they have the potential to go on & do.
- Best Moment
So far... Winning the British Championships in GRade 3A in Banbridge (NI) in 2009. Meeting Keavy & Edele Lynch from B*Witched
- Future Goals
To keep playing, enjoying & ( hopefully) winning with Pipe Bands for many years to come & to get B*Witched back together for a final tour. I Blame It On The Weatherman myself.
