Amdanom - About Us

Gafin and Antwn are both self-taught pipers, specialising in Welsh traditional music for bagpipes.

They have taken part in leading the St. David's Day Parade in Cardiff since 2004, and performed at the Lorient Interceltic Festival in Brittany as part of the Welsh delegation, as well as piping for weddings and celebratory events across Wales.

Antwn and Gafin also perform with Carreg Lafar and Taran, two groups using  traditional Welsh music in both traditional and contemporary ways.

The standard fee for booking a duo is £275.00*

Standard fee for booking a solo piper for a wedding is £150.00* (e.g. piping in and out of a wedding service and playing for 1/2 hour during photos)

We charge a standard day rate of £150 for workshops, performances etc or a half-day rate of £80.00 (solo piper).Additional attendance at a wedding, such as playing at the wedding reception would be an additional £50.00. Please enquire further if you have any questions about your event.

As part of our service, we can also offer Tân y Ddraig (Dragons Fire), a large bowl of gwirod (spirit) such as Welsh whisky or brandy, mixed with sugar, lemon rind or apple peel, and coffee beans or raisins, and then set on fire to burn until the sugar is dissolved. The making of the drink is also accompanied by the pipes. A spectacular climax to a wedding feast and great after dinner drink. See the photos in the Gallery.

Tân y Ddraig is £100.00 including the cost of your chosen liquor.

*In addition to this fee there may be a charge of 40p per mile for travelling expenses to and from your event.
