Andy May

Andy May is an experienced performer with over 30 years of piping under his belt. His piping style has been influenced by the playing of Roland Lofthouse, Adrian Schofield, and the recordings of Billy Pigg and Tom Clough. Having been a regular winner at piping competitions around Northumberland,  Andy can now be found more frequently on the other side of the judges’ table. Andy studied music at the University of York, honing his skills on the pipes and piano.
In 2002 Andy became a full-time musician and now splits his time between playing, making Northumbrian and Uilleann pipes, and teaching. Andy currently performs regularly with The Andy May Trio, Baltic Crossing, and Jez Lowe and the Bad Pennies, in addition to solo piping performances.
