SCD Solo Piper provides Highland Bagpipe music for weddings and all other events. Being a part of such a joyful day makes being a piper the dream job!
SCD Solo Piper provides Highland Bagpipe music for all events! SCD Solo Piper was established by Shonagh Duncan; a Highland Bagpipe player with over 14 years of experience.

Shonagh brings this experience to solo engagements across the country; from family occasions (weddings, funerals, anniversaries), to corporate and cultural events (e.g. Conferences and Burns Night), from South coast of England to the Islands of Scotland.

About
I have been piping since the age of 9 and I've never looked back! I learned to play in the Scottish Borders, and went on to pipe at various events and in different bands in Scotland and England. I come from a musical family, however I was the first to play the pipes - it was something I truly loved to listen to as a child. I studied at University in Edinburgh, before becoming a full time musician. Music is a passion and I feel privileged to be able to bring music to people's events.
