We contacted and arranged for George to play as a surprise for my husband on our wedding day. George is an absolute gent, very warm and friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. George played me down the aisle, again after the ceremony and for a confetti tunnel afterwards. He played beautifully, and the songs chosen were perfect. Not forgetting that George was extremely helpful and was more than happy to have pictures taken with everyone! Without a doubt, we feel extremely privileged that George was a part of our day - having him play reduced many people to tears and made the ceremony absolutely perfect. Something we will never forget. He really was the icing on the cake! Thank you again George, you are wonderful!

I had the pleasure of having George play at my cousin's wedding, and he was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Not only is he an incredibly talented bagpiper, but he was also exceptionally professional, reliable, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire process.
George went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, offering guidance and being flexible with our plans on the day. His performance added a truly special and memorable touch to the celebration, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing he was.

If you're looking for a bagpiper who is skilled, professional, and a pleasure to work with, we cannot recommend George highly enough. Thank you, George, for helping make the wedding day so special! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We used George to pipe my father on his final journey. I am so glad we did, George was magnificent from the start, helped us with a choice of music, type of tartan choice. He played the bagpipes amazingly, stayed at the end of the service chatted with the family, a really professional person. We would highly recommend George for any occasion and would like to extend our gratitude and heart felt thanks to him. Thank you George.

Mum had a piper play at her wedding and when she knew she hadn't a long left told us that she wanted a piper to lead her down the aisle at her funeral. As we laid her to rest he played The Skye Boat Sone (her favourite tune) there wasn't a dry eye anywhere. Thankyou George

Grandad is a proud Scotsman and asked for a Piper at his Funeral. So we decided to go one better and get him a Piper for his 90th birthday. The look on his face when you walked in playing Scotland the Brave was a picture of delight as you then went on to play all of his favourite tunes. You have made his year he now wants you next year.

At the last moment our original Piper cancelled. I was devastated because we couldn't get anyone locally. Then George stepped in at the very last moment and drove through the night to get to us for our Wedding the next day what a guy I cannot say thankyou enough.

Thank you so much for playing at my mum’s burial a couple of weeks ago in Hethe. I hadn’t considered before the service how quiet it would have been without music, and your playing supported the ceremony beautifully.

Thank you for beautiful playing, and for your great sensitivity to the occasion, it was much appreciated by all the family. We are so lucky to have wonderful friends in Thomas and Kristina who thought to support us in this way.

George Thankyou so much for coming to (---) today to play the Bagpipes. I know how Mummy loved hearing you play on Christmas day and how she said with pride "My father was 100% Scottish." She will be sadly missed by so many; she would also approve of this wonderful send off you've made possible.

We booked George before for our Nans' Birthday and just had to have him back to our Burns Night. Nothing was too much trouble he even Addressed the Haggis for us after I gave up trying understood the words. He's lovely, we need another party to book him for.

Just a quick email of thanks on behalf of everyone that attended the Burns Night at. You definitely helped make the evening the event it needed to be and I know Steve got a kick out of using your dagger to cut the haggis rather than having to use a chef’s knife

George was a true Gentleman he played outside the venue in the freezing cold, happily playing away to welcome my guests before coming in to gather my friends in a rendition of Happy Birthday played on his pipes it made my evening.

Our Piper had let us down 24hrs before our wedding. I was heart broken and feared the worst but we contacted George and over the phone we told him what we wanted and true to his word there he was standing outside the Registry office dressed in his finery playing away merrily on his pipes. He was a true hero. I can't thank him enough.

Great music and great service! George is a very accomplished musician, he is accommodating and has a wonderful sense of humour which puts everyone at ease. I would recommend him to anyone looking to have a piper play at their social event, be it a wedding or just a party.
