Repertoire


Robert Walker: Highland Bagpiper for Hire

Below is an example of some tunes that I play but the list is not exhaustive. I'm constantly learning new tunes and therefore my repertoire frequently changes. I'm more than happy to take requests, and where possible to learn a specific tune you request or give advice on what tunes may be suitable and at what point.
