He then returned to play with the House of Edgar Shotts & Dykehead Pipe Band, which would turn out to be Robert Mathieson’s final year as Pipe Major of the band.

Craig says “Standing beside Robert on his farewell performance as Pipe Major will always be one of the highlights of my piping career”. He now plays with the 2010 World Pipe Band Champions,

St Laurence O’Toole Pipe Band & is also a member of the world famous Red Hot Chilli Pipers.

Craig travels in demand all over the world entertaining audiences & leaving them amazed at how much goes into a set of bagpipes behind the scenes with his “Understand & Appreciate Your Bagpipes” lecture that takes you on a journey back to the first African Blackwood seeds being planted in Tanzania, through to the harvesting & manufacturing stage.

Some of Craig’s notable performances out with the competition circuit have been playing on the BBC Hogmanay Live Show, performing as the finale piper at T in the Park to a crowd of 50,000 and recording soundtracks for the Disney Pixar’s movie ‘Brave’ & DreamWorks ‘How to Train Your Dragon 2

What Pipers say about Wallace “I’m very happy with the quality of my pipes both aesthetically and with the sound I get from them, very comfortable to play and I will continue to recommend Wallace Bagpipes to my piping colleagues” - Peter Morris, Boghall & Bathgate Pipe Band

“My Wallace Bagpipes have a staying in tune power that very few other makes have to offer, I knew right then that I had a fantastic set of pipes under my arm!”

- Scott Wallace, Field Marshall Montgomery Pipe Band

“The overall workmanship and finish as well as the tonal quality would give me no hesitation in recommending the Wallace bagpipe to any band or professional piper.”

- Pipe Major Robert Mathieson

“In the Red Hot Chilli Pipers we need instruments that can cope with the stress of being on the road and touring all over the world. They have to be stable wether we are playing on a freezing cold stage in Inverness or in the blistering heat of Saudi Arabia. Wallce Bagpipes have definetly stood up to our demands...and more.”

- Willie Armstrong, Red Hot Chilli Pipers & Scottish Power Pipe Band (Former Member) “I’ve played many a set in the 25 years I have been playing, and I would say that these pipes are up there with the best! Overall I have been delighted in the way these pipes have sounded and performed in all weathers and I would definitely recommend you consider these pipes if your looking to purchase a set” - Stuart Robertson, Western Australia Police Pipe Band

www.wallacebagpipes.com info@wallacebagpipes.com 0141 - 954 - 1234

“Everyone who has heard the pipes have said that they are amazing and can’t help but ask for a wee shot of them, which is testament to the extremely high build quality of the instrument. Having played lots and lots of different sets of pipes from different makers I am happy that I’ll forever be playing this set of pipes and I will thoroughly recommend anyone looking for a new set of bagpipes to contact Wallace!”

- Kyle Howie, MacKenzie Caledonian Pipe Band “I currently have a very old set of pipes which are a very good set of drones but the sound I’m getting out of my new Wallace Bagpipes is right up there too which is very impressive for a set of pipes that are less than a year old! As you know, most of the school band are playing your pipes too and I’ve been getting great comments from the judges about our drone sound.”

- Pipe Major Lee Moore, Preston Lodge High School Pipe Band “I have played and dealt with just about every bagpipe manufacturer out there and I have never come across the professionalism I have experienced with Wallace bagpipes. Onstage and in the studio with Gaelic Storm I need a bagpipe that sounds great, looks great, stays in tune and is reliable. Wallace bagpipes do all of this and more. I recommend them to both my peers and students for a sound investment.”

- Peter Purvis, Gaelic Storm, bagpipelesson.com “Thank you for working with me in putting together a set of Standard 2 bagpipes that fits my needs and budget. Your willingness to educate me about bagpipes and patience in helping me put together a set of bagpipes is greatly appreciated. It is a wonderful feeling being able to bring people joy with the bagpipes you constructed for me.”

- Chaplain (CPT) John Monahan, 1-508 PIR 82nd ABN DIV

Wallace Bagpipes are delighted to announce our incredible new range of Liddell Bagpipes!

We have been working with Worldrenowned piper Stuart Liddell to manufacture a new range of custom made bagpipes developed to Stuart’s specification.

Stuart said, “I felt there was a need to develop a modern day bagpipe that produces the vintage sound all pipers aspire after and I feel we have achieved that working with Wallace Bagpipes based on a set that I have played for many years with some slight modifications which I feel have added to the overall quality.”
