Welcome!
Thank you for visiting DaytonPiper! If you need a piper for a special occasion, Greg Martin would be honored to play at your event. He's played at birthday parties, anniversary parties, benefit concerts, weddings, funerals, church services, Burns Suppers, dinners, and many other events. The pipes are always appropriate!
Thanks again for visiting, and please contact Greg with any questions
you may have.
Background
People
often ask Greg if he wanted to play the pipes because of his family background.
Although he does have Scottish ancestors (his mother was a MacGruder and
his paternal grandmother was a Duff),
he wanted to play the pipes simply because he loves the sound!
Greg has Bachelor of Music and Master of Music degrees and also a Masters Degree in Library and Information Science. He does most of the teaching for the Miami Valley (Ohio) Pipes and Drums. In addition to the Miami Valley Pipes and Drums, Greg has played with several other pipe bands, including the Dayton Thistle Pipe Band, the Cincinnati Caledonian Pipe Band, and Cyril-Scott, and is a long-time member of the Eastern United States Pipe Band Association.
