Kyle Rowan

 

Early Beginnings

With his parents hailing from the Scottish Isles of Islay and Tiree respectively, Kyle has been exposed to the horo gheallaidh culture of the islands for as long as he can remember. With an upbringing listening almost exclusively to West coast bands such as Skipinnish and Trail West, it seemed an inevitability that the bagpipes would end up being an enormous part of his adult life.


Now Playing All Across Scotland

From weddings to funerals, parties to ceilidhs, Kyle now travels up and down the country playing the pipes. Kyle was born in 2001 and began learning to play the pipes aged 4. Kyle has enjoyed piping success with the Isle of Islay Pipe Band throughout his playing career and is now a resident piper at the Spirit of Scotland Show in Edinburgh. Kyle has spent much of his life competing in solo accordion competitions, being awarded Junior Scottish Accordion Champion four years in a row and making it to the semi-finals of the prestigious Scottish Young Traditional Musician of the year when aged only 16.

“Teaching the bagpipes is something I love. I want to spread the knowledge and understanding of such an incredible instrument as far as possible.”
