    from £95.oo up to £200 for 4 hours, some are more expensive, some are cheaper and you will regret it.

    I am not a piper! But I have had to contract for the services of a few pipers in the past.

    Here in Southern California the rates are generally by the hour with it being $150 to $200 per hour plus transportation costs.

    I also did a short google and found these sites that should be of interest.

    I think $250 and up is about right.

    Unfortunately, I've heard guys playing gigs who should be wearing a mask and carrying a note and gun when they go to collect the check, but that's neither here nor there.
