Clan MacCliché are Scotland's only giant piping and drumming Highlanders, delivering an unforgettable combination of live Scottish music, towering visual impact and cheeky crowd interaction. Standing at around 12 feet tall, the two-person roaming act features one giant Highland piper and one giant Highland drummer, creating a welcome that guests simply cannot miss. Combining live bagpipes and drum with humour, photographs and unmistakable Scottish character, Clan MacCliché are ideally suited to corporate events, international incentive groups, sporting occasions, festivals, fan zones, castles and heritage venues where organisers want entertainment that immediately captures attention.
Designed as a completely roaming act, Clan MacCliché require no traditional stage and can move through entrances, receptions, event spaces, fan zones and crowds. They can make a loud and proud entrance with live pipes and drum for maximum impact or switch to quieter roaming and photographic interaction where sound needs to be carefully managed. Their appearances can also be divided into shorter sets throughout an event, allowing the duo to welcome arrivals, entertain during drinks receptions, greet dinner guests, appear during breaks or provide a memorable headline moment.
Clan MacCliché bring proven experience from some of Scotland and the UK's biggest sporting and cultural occasions. Their performance history includes Rugby World Cup events, the Scottish Open Golf, the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, Scottish Rugby and Highland Games throughout Scotland. They have also entertained at corporate events at Stirling Castle, demonstrating how effectively their distinctive performance style complements historic and heritage settings. This extensive experience makes the duo equally comfortable entertaining international visitors, corporate audiences, sports fans and large festival crowds.
What makes Clan MacCliché particularly memorable is their ability to combine spectacle with genuine interaction. Guests can stop for photographs, share a laugh with the performers and experience traditional Scottish music delivered in an unconventional format. The full act consists of both giant Highlanders and is designed specifically as a duo, with individual performers offered only in exceptional circumstances when one member is unavailable. For organisers seeking unmistakably Scottish entertainment with enormous visual presence, live music and crowd-friendly humour, Clan MacCliché offer a distinctive experience built to be remembered.
