F. Potts (80th birthday evening) 21 Jun 2026
10/10

Our friend’s birthday do was for her 80th. She organised everything but we decided she deserved a Scottish Piper to complete the evening. Bob, who we found via Last minute musicians was the perfect fit. You should have seen the look on our friend’s face. Bob played perfectly and I noticed that he kept placing himself into excellent spots in the garden so guests could take photos for mementoes. Would highly recommend Bob as your Piper.

Thanks Stacey. I enjoy playing for all the residents at Gradwell Park and reciting Robert Burns's "Address to the Haggis" ! I look forward to seeing you all again next January.

I just wanted to give you a quick message to say that the funeral went very well yesterday, and Bob's playing was beautiful. He was in full regalia, and did Dad proud.
Unfortunately, I didn't see him at the end of the service, but I messaged him to say how pleased we were - he really did make the day special. Many thanks to you too, your quick responses were fantastic, and really appreciated.

Angela (Funeral) 4 Dec 2023
10/10

Bob is an excellent piper. His playing at the end of my husband's memorial service definitely enhanced the service and was commented on positively by many of the congregation who were able to enjoy it as he continued to play in the sunny churchyard as attendees chatted before walking to the reception. He was efficient in his arrangements, impressive in his attire and also thoroughly affable. We are most grateful to him.

W/Bro Tony R S Ashford PPrGReg (Masonic White Table & Burns Night Dinner) 30 Jan 2023
10/10

Bob, the Highland Piper, was by far the best and most versatile piper we ever had for a Burns Night event. His piping was second to none.
All those present have contacted me since to express their pleasure at his performance, including the playing of Auld Lang Syne at the end, which had everyone on their feet joining hands and singing.
Well done Bob, and Thank-you

Just a quick note to say Thank-you for your work last night in making our Burns Night White Table+ event a tremendous success. A real fun evening, and a lot of compliments have been received for your contribution, with Auld Lang Syne at the end as a really excellent finish

John (Parish Council for VE Day 2020) 9 May 2020
10/10

I have just sent a note of thanks to Bob for his excellent playing today. He was most co-operative and helpful throughout our discussions and today. Because of not wanting crowds we did not publicise the venues and broadcast live via the Parish Facebook page which has earned lots of likes and positive comments.
All in all it went exactly as we wanted and we would certainly use his, and your, services when next we have need.

We really enjoyed having Bob play the pipes at our wedding. He was able to play the traditional tunes we wanted to a high standard despite it being 30 degrees on the day and he looked the part. He was friendly and fun.

Thanks for your kind words, Sarah: all the best to you both. - Bob
