Lockdown wedding! Yeeha! My first wedding since March, was with Andy and Emma who decided to have a lockdown wedding in their garden after all the problems. Absolutely honoured and delighted to have been a part of it. #weddingpiper #wedding #bagpipes #bagpiper #piperforhire #weddingmusic #scottishmusic #weddingentertainer #weddingentertainment #rgpiper #rgmusicom #bydand #igscotland #lockdownwedding #scotland #fife www.rgpiper.co.uk

An interesting day today. I’ve done no work since my last wedding in March but got two back to back today. The first; a funeral (with the pipes) in Longforgan, the second; a socially distant garden party (with sax) for Lynn’s birthday. And what a day for it too! Very happy indeed to be out playing again. I’ve really missed it. 🎷😎 #rgpiper #kiltedsax #rgmusicom #saxophone #bagpiper #scotland #gardenparty #sociallydistant www.rgmusicom.co.uk

10 years ago today I graduated from @uniofstandrew

10 years ago today I graduated from @uniofstandrews.
Funny story behind this day. Two days before, my girlfriend of the time broke up with me; apparently calling her out for telling her ex that she loved him was my mistake. 🤷‍♂️ I found the day very difficult under the circumstances and contemplated not attending, but in the end it was a lovely day, and is a fond memory I have now as I got to spend time with my grandparents.
That night, I went home and packed up for a weekend in London to see the Hard Rock Calling festival in Hyde Park. It was amazing - Pearl Jam, Jamiroquai, Stevie Wonder, Crowded House, Paul McCartney, Crosbie, Stills and Nash, Elvis Costello, to name but a few. A blistering hot three days listening to amazing music. Bliss.
Ultimately the break-up was the greatest thing that ever happened to me. It paved the way for me to meet my best friend, my soul mate and the mother to my amazing daughter (all the same person - my wife), and later this year we celebrate our fourth wedding anniversary as well as our tenth anniversary of meeting.
When one door closes, another opens. 🤗

Anyway, this was not my final involvement at the University; I would continue to be employed by them for a further 4 years before doing them a favour and leaving to pursue different ventures. 🎶#rgmusicom #universityofstandrews #graduation #decade

Today is the 20th anniversary of the moment that c

Today is the 20th anniversary of the moment that changed my life forever. It sounds a bit corny but something changed in my life in a very big way that day.
20 years ago tonight I was in the Glasgow Clyde Auditorium watching @joesatriani live for the first time. It was his Engines or Creation tour.
Joe had always been a familiar sound in my house before that but I really didn’t know anything about him or could name his music. As I’d never really shown an interest in music prior to that point (other than learning the bagpipes) I was fairly ambivalent about it all.
Something changed that night though. It wasn’t just the inspiration to learn the guitar (most 15 year old boys tended to at my school). It was something about the whole stage persona, the musicality and the passion behind the music. Being a musician was more than just learning to play stuff because someone expected you to. It was about loving what you did, and being totally devoted to it. Though it took me a while to put that into words, that’s what all clicked that night.
What followed was a wonderful exploration of music and that has not stopped for 20 years. It continues to be the driving force behind my M.O in life and when things get tough or old, I try to remember what it felt like that night to be a part of that and to have my little awakening.
My musical ambition has matured over the years. I don’t just want to be a guitar player in my music; in fact on my writing hiatus of the last 6 years I’ve learned a lot about what I want from what I do, and have discovered ways in which the three instruments I play can be brought together in both the commercial space I tend to play in as a musician for hire, but also in the artistic world that I want to explore more of. In essence, I’m just getting started.
Anyway. Here’s to the next 20 years. 🥳 Above all, thank you to Joe and my brother Chris for giving me that awakening that fateful night. #rgmusicom #guitar #saxophone #bagipes #joesatriani #glasgowarmadillo #secglasgow

Can you lovely folks of Instagram help me get these specs back to their owner? I found them on the Cuparmuir road outside the Bell Baxter playing fields. I’ve taken them back to my house for safety but I’d like to see them back in their rightful place ASAP. Please comment away if you can help. #cupar #lostandfound #lostpropertycupar #cuparfife #cuparmuir

A wee walk around the old home village today. The different climates were fiercely fighting each other - warm summer air over the fields battling against a haar coming in off the sea. Made for dramatic scenery. Sad to see Newark Castle (or at least what’s left of it) encased in fences. #stmonans #eastneuk #fife

Man. I wonder what the decision process was for the Times Scotland editorial board to choose headlines for the front page. “Yeah, the Scots are definitely jealous of the idiots over the border queuing to get into Primark for hours in the middle of a pandemic. People can definitely relate to this.” #fail #timesscotland #covid19

#tbt to 2003 and my first time performing on stage

#tbt to 2003 and my first time performing on stage with my brother. It was at my high school, the building of which has since been razed. The only productive thing I did in 6th year of high school was to organise a “talent show” which was a thinly veiled ploy to get the chance to play onstage in high school. The fat bastard with the long hair and leather trousers is me. Also featured in these photos are @biffysink looking resplendent in his kilt, a very young @punkydrublic who was there to support “The Schmokes” and various others who I’m not friends with. I’ve come a long way since then and I’m very glad to be this far away in time from that period of my life. 🤗 It’s a nice reminder of how much better things are now. #rgmusicom #waidacademy #anstruther

I’ve finally decided to release the secrets of my magical D.F.A lotion. It has so many applications, just be amazed at the results.

The inaugural christening of the new running shoes. I hadn’t quite realised how terrible a state the old ones were in, and was surprised that wearing these didn’t feel like I was running on bare tarmac. Stability and ankle support are also amazing. Thanks @adidasrunning. #rgmusicom
