He has also played at numerous weddings, civil ceremonies, Burn's suppers, funerals, festive boards, Military 'dining in' nights and corporate events - as well as appearing pro bono at a number of charity fund raising events. In addition to this, he has played on Radio Mercury FM on the morning of Burns Night and was recently asked to perform in the stage production of 'Brigadoon' in Leatherhead.

He wears the Royal Stewart or Hebburn family tartan - both are predominantly red and very popular.
