My name is Peter McArthur and I would be proud to provide first rate, highly polished professional bagpiping for you or your clients. I am available to work any day of the week in North and South Carolina and am capable of meeting and exceeding your requests, wishes and musical needs.
I have been performing and competing throughout the southeast for 20 years. Currently, I am rated as a Grade I piper by the Eastern United States Pipe Band Association (EUSPBA) and have placed highly at many competitions throughout the US: with confidence I can say that I am one of the top ten players in North Carolina. For many years I have also been a leading member of the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian College (SAPC) Pipe Band, which has consistently held the title of Grade III Southeastern Champions for most of the last decade and has almost never placed outside of the prize list. Recently, they won the title of Grade III Champions for the entire East Coast!
I have received years of instruction from Bill Caudill who is the top player in the Carolinas and a member of the EUSPBA’s judge’s panel. I have also received many lessons from Sandy Jones, Ed Neigh, and Colin McClellan, at the North American Academy of Piping, and with many others at workshops throughout the region. I provide instruction and leadership to the Cross Creek Pipes and Drums in Fayetteville, NC and am clan piper to the Clan MacArthur Society. In addition I was ivited to join the the Grade II SouthEast Champions, the Charleston Police Pipe Band.
I have professionally performed at various events in the region for over a decade and a half, and know all of the standard tunes. I am very flexible and can accommodate most any request provided the melody can be arranged for the bagpipe. I am very familiar with the state’s roadways and always work with a courteous and professional attitude. I always perform in traditional attire, formal or business, wearing the Earl of St. Andrews tartan, or the Tartan of the Carolinas. I play a set of Henderson Bagpipes which are well over a hundred years old. This priceless instrument creates very sweet tones and always sounds warm and bold. I am confident that if I am called to perform, I can provide a very high quality of excellence in bagpiping. Furthermore, I am able to accept daytime work during business hours more often than most other pipers, because piping is my full-time occupation and receives top scheduling priority.
I hope that I can become a valued part of your event, and look forward to working with you. It’s hard to say all that’s important here, so I will be more than happy to elaborate on any important issue. Please feel free to call, write, or email with any questions or comments you may have.
Peter G McArthur
