With over 27 years of piping experience, Andrew has been a member of competitive pipe bands in Ontario, a guest piper with bands from the United States and Scotland, and is now a volunteer member of the 12 Wing Shearwater Pipes and Drums in Shearwater, Nova Scotia.
As a founding member of the Paris Port Dover Pipe Band, Andrew led the band to become the 2005 North American Champions and the Ontario Champion Supreme Pipe Band in Grade 5 in only their second year of competition. In 2013, he returned to the band for a season, playing as a member of the Ontario Champion Supreme Pipe Band in Grade 3.
As a successful solo piper, Andrew competed under the tutelage of Jake Watson and John Cairns, both leaders of top Ontario pipe bands. He left his competitive career on top, having played up through the grades ultimately reaching the prestigious Grade 1 level.
In 2017, Andrew was awarded one of Kitchener-Conestoga’s 150 for Canada’s 150th Awards for volunteering his piping services to the local Royal Canadian Legion branches, Waterloo Region Museum’s McDougall Cottage and other local charities.
In 2022, Andrew moved to Halifax and enjoys making events memorable by sharing the music of the Great Highland Bagpipe with locals and travellers to Nova Scotia.
