Red Hot Chilli Pipers

Bagpipes with attitude. Drums with a Scottish accent. A blazing rock band and show so hot, it carries its own health warning! It’s Bagpipes. It’s Rock. It’s Bagrock. AC/DC meets the poet Robert Burns. Where rock anthems sit comfortably alongside the great tunes from the glens and the mountains of Scotland.

It’s The Red Hot Chilli PIPERS—(NOT the Peppers!)—a 9-piece ensemble consisting of pipers, guitarists, keyboards, and drummers—who have been rocking the world from New York to Beijing to Melbourne and everywhere in between with musicianship of the highest order and a passion for pipes that will leave you breathless. The band has four music degrees from the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and all the pipers and drummers have played at the top level in bagpiping.

“These are my boys!”
―Sir Paul McCartney after rocking out to a Chilli performance.

“Awesome!”
―film star Ewen McGregor, after he guested on drums with the Chillis.

“Gotta get me some of that Red Hot Chilli Pipers! I WANT some!”
―actor Samuel Jackson, tweeted after seeing the band perform on NBC in the summer of 2012
