Welcome to the website of Skweez The Weezle Celtic Music
Skweez The Weezle Celtic Music is David Lanigan, the founding member of Celtic band Skweez The Weezle.
Skweez The Weezle was an acoustic band that had been proudly carrying on the Celtic music tradition since March 1999 from their base of operations in the Tri-Cities (Kennewick, Pasco, Richland), West Richland, Benton City, and Mid-Columbia area of southeastern Washington State. After 25 years, the band is now a band of one.
David Lanigan plays both Scottish Lowland bagpipes and smallpipes (bellows-blown bagpipes with drones in a common stock), mouth-blown shuttle pipes, and whistles (commonly called tin or penny whistles).
David's current repertoire includes traditional and original tunes from Highland and Lowland Scotland, Ireland, Cape Breton Island, Brittany, Wales, and the USA.
David is also available to play the Scottish Highland bagpipes at weddings, receptions, parties, funerals, memorials, etc. For these types of performances, please see David's website davidplaysthepipes.com for more information.
