Very good multi instrumentalist bagpiper (Scottish bagpipes, Galician bagpipes, tambourines, Irish whistles) Expert in weddings and other social events.
Being born in a Celtic Spanish nation as Galicia made me learn to play Galician bagpipes when a child. When started the university, studying computing systems, I realized that my passion was music and started to combine my university studies with traditional music studies, attending lessons from the best teachers of the area, improving techniques and learning percussion (tambourine) as well.
When moved to the UK,11 years ago, soon got a job performing in a Galician restaurant (Centro Galego, NW10 5NG) and started to get jobs in Galician events (weddings, funerals, etc) while I was studying Irish traditional music (Irish whistles) in the Hammersmith Irish Centre and meeting experienced musicians in Irish and Scottish sessions.
Three years ago I decided to focus my laboral life only in music, having the chance to get a Scottish bagpipe and learn the different fingering of this new instrument. This gave me the chance to get many gigs as a Scottish bagpiper, participating in different events, traditional Scottish celebrations, political and social events, etc.
I also have experience in zaffas (Arabic weddings)
I also been involved in promoting Galician music in London, getting involved with top bands and performing with them.
David was great from the moment I booked him he was happy to play the songs I wanted. On the day, he done a fantastic job and everyone was pleased. He even stayed for longer than required! It was a nice touch to my wedding given I am part Scottish. I would highly recommend him for your event.
Thank you David

Booked David Carril (Piper) for our Mum’s funeral on Friday where he played Scottish music before & after the service. David was dressed in tartan & his playing was superb. Even the Celebrant said he was the best piper that she had seen at a funeral service…..thank you again David 👏
David was absolutely amazing and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. I wanted David to pipe my entrance to the church and for it to be a surprise for my fiancé, so he arrived extra early to practise with the organist for a magnificent entrance and then went and hid away in the village to ensure my fiancé didn’t see him. He was friendly, communicative and even travelled longer on the day because of a train strike! His playing was absolutely beautiful. We were so lucky to have found David, and will be forever grateful to him for everything he did for us.
Wow what can I say..David was absolutely amazing and he played just beautifuly for my father's funeral. He was so kind and respectful and his professionalism was just outstanding.
He made a sad day that bit brighter and he sounded just beautiful. I would highly recommend David and will certainly request for him again. Thank you David 😊
David was very professional , well presented and accommodating to our needs.We hired him for a family member's funeral. He even learnt to play their favourite song, which was so touching for us on the day . Couldn't have asked for more from him, would highly recommend !
David Carril was a delight and made the funeral of our mother memorable. He played beautifully and very much looked the part. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a piper. Thank you.
David was great.He was there with plenty of time to spare. He played well and was very accommodating with our wishes. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
Perfect from start to finish! Genuinely amazing bagpiper who was so accommodating and kind- he was a ‘welcomed guest’ and I would highly recommend 👌🏻 Will definitely be booking again! Xx
David took on my event at such short notice. He was amazing from the first contact until the end of the event. Unfortunately it was a funeral for my Grandad and David played the car in whilst playing beautifully on the Scottish bagpipes. It really made the send off just perfect! David, you really were amazing and I cannot thank you enough. You are very talented!!! I will definitely be booking for you my wedding one day!
