   About Bagpipes - Eric Boyd

I'm a third-generation bagpiper of Scottish descent. I began playing and writing music for the Great Highland Bagpipe when I was ten years old. In addition to the Great Highland Bagpipes, I also play the Scottish small Pipes, acoustic, electric & bass guitar, tin whistle, drums, keyboards & piano.

I'm a former member of the Celtic band Silent Planet as well as the Los Angeles Police Department Pipe Band, City of Glendale Pipe Band and Cabar Feidh Pipe Band. I also perform and record regularly with the Celtic band Tartanic. I was recently nominated for a Celtic radio Music Award with Silent Planet and completed a project for the independent film "Juan Frances: Live."

I'm currently working on various projects including a new solo album slated for release in late 2010 and various performances with the Techno-Fusion Bagpipe band Sonic Impulse.

Discography:

Untitled New Release, Eric Boyd (2010)

Unstoppable, Tartanic (2007)

I rerally enjoyed it. I love the use of the pipes in rock groups.
Do the girls dance with Sonic Impulse on a regular basis, or were they just for the one show?
I'm still doing Renfaires, and my old website host went out of business which is why I'm on flickr now.
I'm still getting the pictures from the past on it, and plan to put up some Tartanic

Eric! I'm being forced to admit I never really looked at your page in depth.
And being around bagpipes for as long as I have, I've grown to really hate them sometimes but that Sonic Impulse stuff is AWESOME! Seriously, I've NEVER wanted to purchase a bagpipe album and you bet your ass I'll be buying that! You've converted a fan! Amazing, dude!
