Reviews of Ed Arnold - Scottish Bagpiper For Hire

I booked Ed last minute to surprise my Dad on his birthday. He went above and beyond and the whole family loved his performance. He was also really accommodating and easy to communicate with.
My Dad was absolutely thrilled. He said he couldn’t remember a better birthday and that it was the most beautiful gift he’d ever received. His face when he saw Ed appear was priceless! You were a huge hit! Thank you so much for making it such a special day.

Thank you Ed for playing at our mums funeral on 29th January, even with all the restrictions in place. We wanted to make sure her final farewell was one that our mum deserved. I am sure mum would have loved the bagpipes. Ed did everything we asked him to do, being very professional and courteous at all times. Would highly recommend Ed Arnold

Ed was absolutely fantastic at our wedding last month. He played for guests arriving at our venue from the church and was so talented. All of the guests loved it and I loved that it brought the Scottish culture to a Scottish/ Nigerian wedding. Even staff at the venue were saying how amazing he was! Very good value for money and prompt at replying to emails and knowledgeable about what would work at the venue.

Would definitely recommend!

Can not thank Ed enough for the amazing part he played in my partner Brian Sansoms funeral on 28/8/2019. Ed the music you played was truly wonderful . You made Brian's final juorney into the crematorium so special for myself family and friends. Also the music after the service was perfect
A truly professional wonderful piper.
Thank you Ed from myself and family for the professional services you provided that day. ❤x

I contacted ed arnold on thursday 25th july as I decided to hire a piper at the last minute to play at my grandsons wedding on the 26th july I realised that no family member had booked one and I being from Scotland and the groom and family members would be in full kilt dress including tartan trews so we had to have a piper ed rushed from one gig to ours and was there to pipe the groom and bride Michael and Kelly into there evening reception and stayed and piped a few more tunes I will certainly book ed again a very pleasant man. thanks ed Janet.

Can't thank you enough for your piping my sister's funeral you played a massive part and the family really loved it very much . We would recommend you to anyone and everyone was truly amazing.

You could not meet a nicer man.
Ed was so kind to my mum who has dementia.
We had a small family gathering to celebrate her 91st birthday. I don’t know what to say - just amazing!
I will give warning though ... take tissues! There was not a dry eye in the room.
Ed played so beautifully, it was unbelievably emotional.
Can not give this lovely man enough praise.
We will remember this day forever.
Thank you so much Ed - hoping very much to see you again one day.
You made a very old lady’s wish come true.

Got Ed in to attend a suprise birthday party for my mums 70th, Had my mum at the front of the stage as I was giving a speech and the wife was outside waiting for the cue to come in with Ed playing the pipes, when it was time we opened the door and in he walked tunes blaring out, my mums face was priceless, she welled up and had hand over mouth, it worked she had no idea and loved it, I must say thank you Ed as this made my mums night. On the booking side of things it was really easy, fantastic communication, arrived on time etc, can not fault anything at all. Again, thanks Ed and if at all needed we will definitely be contacting you again!

Excellent piper - piped us all the way from the church to the venue. Easy to work with and very reasonable rates.

Ed came to help us send my wife on her way at the scattering of her ashes on 5th September. He helped make this an unforgettable day for all of us. I asked him to surprise my guests, which he did, admirably, me as well, because I was expecting to see him waiting somewhere near our meeting place and saw no sign of him making me think that he hadn’t managed to get there. But then he appeared as if from nowhere playing my late wife’s favourite hymn. Thank you Ed.

Hello Ed. A big thankyou to you for playing at my mums funeral today 10/9/15. Your communication between us was good and all the guests commented what a brilliant send off we have given our mum. Your playing was brilliant and professional. As you played through Marsden village everybody in the shops came out to watch and listen as the cortage went past. Everything you did helped us make this a celebration of life, all of our guests went home with a smile on their face with happy memories. Thankyou. Tony, Andrew and family
