Matt Willis

Whether you boast Scottish ancestry or not, the Great Highland Bagpipe makes a wonderful addition to a wedding ceremony. The volume of the pipes will easily fill the hall or church, and the sound carries beautifully outdoors.

Matt would be happy to discuss with you any of the many ways to include the pipes in your ceremony, whether for the procession of the bride, the recession of the new couple, or any other moments that the bride and groom may wish to make a musical statement.

Memorial Services:

The passing of a loved one is always a difficult time and Matt takes great care to approach each service with the dignity and respect your family deserves. Matt ensures the details are correct, from the tuning of the pipes to his professional appearance and attire. He can perform at the church or funeral home, or at the graveside, or at both locations if that is the family’s wish.

Private or Public Events:

Matt has played for a wide range of events, from retirement ceremonies to birthday parties. Whether the event is joyous or solemn, the music of the pipes can be a wonderful addition to the day.

Recording Sessions:

Matt has many years of recording experience, including Rathmore’s latest EP Mooncoin, as well as three studio albums with The Killdares. He has been featured with a number of other recording artists and organizations such as Heather McCready, Floramay Holliday, and Gateway Church. Matt is also proficient on the Irish penny whistle and uilleann pipes, so whatever Celtic sound you want to add to your recording, he can deliver.
