Glen Kelly at 5 years old, showing the first signs of passion.
I am a Scottish bagpiper, now based in London and performing full-time across the UK. I began learning the Great Highland bagpipes at just eight years old, and that lifelong dedication shapes every performance I give. With Scottish and Irish heritage, I have always felt closely connected to Celtic music and the traditions behind it.
With over 16 years of playing experience and more than 9 years performing professionally, I am regularly hired as a Scottish bagpiper for weddings, funerals, corporate events and private occasions. Clients tell me they don't only value the quality of my playing, but also my reliability, presentation and calm professionalism on the day.
I have competed at major championships, including the UK Pipe Band Championships and the World Pipe Band Championships, performing alongside some of the finest pipers in the world. I have also appeared on national and international television, including Salvage Hunters.
Originally from Dundee and now based in London, I perform across the South of England and East of Scotland, at venues such as Edinburgh Castle and the National Museum of Scotland. Whether I am playing at a wedding, funeral or corporate event, my aim is simple: to deliver Scottish bagpiping that feels powerful, appropriate and memorable.
Now established in London, I perform regularly across Central London, Greater London and the South East. I also continue to serve Dundee, Angus and surrounding areas in Scotland, and I am available to travel internationally for weddings, funerals and special events.
Based in London. Proudly from Dundee Scotland.

THE GLEN GUARANTEE
If I am already booked on your chosen date, I will personally arrange a trusted professional from my UK wide network of experienced Scottish bagpipers. This ensures you still receive the same high standards of presentation, musical quality and reliability.
Each piper I recommend has been carefully selected for their professionalism and performance level, so you can book with complete confidence knowing your event is in safe hands. If several pipers are available, I will provide a selection of suitable options for you to choose from.
Simply send your date and location, and I will guide you through the next steps.
