Gordon Walker started piping at the age of four and a half with PipeMajor David Kay from Cumnock in Ayrshire and stayed with him until the age of sixteen. He then enlisted as a boy soldier in The Royal Highland Fusiliers (Princes Margaret's own Glasgow and Ayrshire Regiment).

He was sent for training to Bridge of Don Aberdeen where he came under the guidance of Pipe Major Iain M. Morrison (Queen's Own highlanders) and spent two years with him there before joining The Battalion. Gordon was invited to take the Pipe Major's certificate at Edinburgh Castle passing with Distinguished honours. He saw active service in The Gulf war in 1991 and operational tours of duty in Bosnia 1995 and Northern Ireland in 1996 with his regiment. He had Piobaireachd tuition from the late Captain Andrew Pitkeathly (Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders), a former personal piper to HM Queen Elizabeth II and Director of Army Bagpipe Music.

After sixteen years service he left the army and began teaching, passing on his knowledge and concentrating on solo work. He joined the staff of The College of Piping as the senior instructor, then moved to the National Piping centre as the senior instructor and spent five years there. In January of 2005 he left the Centre to take up the post as Piping instructor with St. Columba's school's piping programme in Renfrewshire. He also became Pipe Major of the 52nd Lowland Regiment T.A. Regimental Pipes and Drums.

Gordon has an impressive record on the competition circuit including both Gold Medals and is an entertaining player when in recital. This new recording has been produced by Highland House of Australia who also issued Gordon's Dancing To Perfection CD.
