Ron Jappy

"I've worked with Ron since 2012 and since then his involvement as a guitarist with the National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland has played an integral part in assisting with the continued musical development of both Senior and Development Bands. Ron has a fantastic knack for producing a catchy rhythm with his guitar that can make a played out traditional tune seem completely refreshed and new again. He's a very reliable musician and I look forward to having his continued work with the band into the future.” ALISDAIR McLAREN, Director of The National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland

“Ron Jappy proves himself time after time to be an excellent musician with a flexibility of approach to suit audiences of all backgrounds and a huge variety of different performing situations. His communication skills and personality complement the quality of his musicianship in bringing the joy and pleasure of live traditional music, whether on fiddle or piano, to people throughout Scotland.” CAROL MAIN MBE, Director of Live Music Now Scotland

“Ron is a highly accomplished multi instrumentalist whose talent and knowledge of Scottish music is apparent in both the rehearsal room and on stage. He’s also the ideal company member, flexible, engaged, engaging and happy playing as a band member or a soloist, a real pleasure to work with.” IAIN GILLIE, Managing Director of PW Productions Ltd

"Ron is a rhythmical and inventive accompanist.” STUART CASSELS, Founder of The Red Hot Chilli Pipers, BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician Of The Year 2005
