Martin Treacher - Pianist, Singer and Bagpiper

Thank you so much for a truly wonderful Burns Night - Andrew Stenbridge, Managing Director, Chewton Glen Hotel

Martin Treacher has presented well over 100 Scottish evenings at Gleneagles Hotel for leading corporate clients. He has provided Scottish entertainment in venues ranging from Highland whisky distilleries to historic Amberley Castle on the Sussex Downs; Beverley Hills Hotel in California to Yorkshire's tiny Star Inn gourmet pub; the Royal Scotsman train to Royal Yacht Britannia; the British Embassy in Washington to remote bothies on the west coast of Scotland.

Martin can offer you any of the following entertainment...

Bagpipes
Ideal for playing guests into a meal or a solo spot at the start or end of an event.

Burns Suppers
Martin can act as a master of ceremonies. If required, he can liaise with guests unused to the format, so that they can take lead roles in The Selkirk Grace, Toast to the Lassies, Reply to the Gentlemen and The Immortal Memory.

The Haggis Address
One of the highlights of Burns Suppers and formal Scottish dinners, Martin pipes in and addresses the haggis with real passion and style.

Scottish Songs
A wide range of songs from Burns to present day and featuring piano, accordion or performed solo. Martin can present a complete show of Scottish songs, or provide short vocal interludes during a meal.

Scottish Dancing
With his accordion Martin can lead people in some of the easier country dances
- no previous experience required!

Scottish Sing-Songs
Song sheets can be provided so that people can join in memorable numbers such as Loch Lomond, Skye Boat Song and Mari's Wedding.

Scottish Cabaret
Ideal as an after-dinner entertainment spot, this can include Martin's own Edinburgh-Glasgow Song that reveals the many differences (and rivalries!) between Scotland's two major cities.
