Thank you so much for all your kind help and understanding. Your skill and knowledge helped us so much and made the day a true celebration of Mum's life. Your uniforms was magnificent and so was your playing. Your Flowers of the Forrest was so moving and your slow marching while you played was so elegant.

We booked Hector because we were let down by a piper. Hector came down to Durham during Covid. Best thing that ever happened for our wedding. Hector made our wedding with his beautiful piping and immaculate turnout. Hector tough our guests the Scottish dances and played for us. Hector is a wonderful entertainer and piper.

The Scotsman (Tom Gilzean MBE Funeral) 6 Nov 2022
10/10

Tom Gilzean MBE has been laid to rest. The archbishop described him as an ornament of the city. A lone piper Hector played Wings, the march of The Corps of Royal Engineers with whom Tom had served followed by Highland Cathedral leading the standard bearers to the front of the Cathedral past Tom’s tartan coffin where they parted and stood guard during the service.

The coffin was removed from the cathedral to the strains of Amazing Grace.

Mr & Mrs Bolton (Our Wedding) 6 Nov 2022
10/10

We heard Hecor play at the Army Navy Rugby at Twickenham and knew we wanted him for our wedding in Rhodes. Hector wore full Highland uniform in 29 degree blazing heat. Hector composed my Wedding March, piped me down the aisle and gave a framed copy of my wedding March, as a beautiful surprise. His music and uniforms were magnificent over the entire 4 days. We also booked Hector for our 2nd reception in Manchester. Hector and his piping were 100 out of 10. All our guests kept talking about was how brilliant our piper. Hector extra touches just made our Wedding.

Hector was immaculate and played beautifully in the most atrocious weather. Hector elegantly slowly marched the coffin along our street and to the grave side and as the mourners left the cemetery. Can't thank him enough.

We have been married for 37 years and people still about how wonderful Hector was as our wedding piper. Can't recommend him high enough.

Jane and Rob (Dad's Birthday) 17 Oct 2022
10/10

Dad is an ex Kings Own Scottish Borderer, so we want a military piper for his Birthday surprise. Hector is an ex Scots Guards Piper and came highly recommended to us. Hector looked amazing and entered the hall playing the Kings Own Scottish Borderer's regimental march All the Blue Bonnets over the Border. Dad was ecstatic! Hector also played all Dad's favourite regimental tunes and songs. Hector piped the cake in, played dance sets and finished the night off with Auld Lang Syne. Hector now plays at all of our family functions. He is the best!

We got married in Rhodes in blazing 30 heat. We heard and saw Hector play at the Army Navy rugby match at Twickenham and new he was the piper for us. Hector wore his full Highand uniform and thrilled our guest with fantastic music. Hector also composed a wedding march for me and piped me down the aisle. Hector exceeded all of our expectations and gave us the perfect wedding. Hector is a 100 out of 10@

Ian Kirkwood (Mothers Funeral) 17 Oct 2022
10/10

I am a solo piper, so I wanted the very best piper for my mother's funeral. Hector elegantly slow marched the hearse to the chapel. His turn out was immaculate, his playing and pipes were perfection. Hector played Flowers of the Forrest at the graveside and slow marched away so the Lament drifted away. Such a wonderful touch. Can not recommend Hector high enough. He made our wish of taking a sad day and turning it into a wonderful celebration of my Mum's life.
