He is well known on the solo circuit winning a number of major prizes including the Dunvegan Medal (Skye), the Strachan Memorial (London), the Braemar Gold Medal, as well as the All Ireland and Ulster senior titles. Jonathan is a Finance Director and now lives in Glasgow.

Andrew has previously won the World Pipe Band Championships with Shotts and Dykehead in 2015 and is a consistently successful solo competitor in the professional grades, competing in the USA, Canada, and Scotland. In addition to his own playing and research, Andrew helps in various teaching aspects within the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland’s undergraduate degree courses in traditional music and piping, regularly features as a recitalist and instructor at piping workshops in Europe, is a regular contributor to Piping Today Magazine, and works part-time at The National Piping Centre in Glasgow.
