"Forget the rest... stick with the BEST! Spud is the most magnificent piper in the world! My husband and I contacted Spud for our wedding at Eilean Donan Castle in 2013. We immediately bonded as he is the most extraordinary human being with the best sense of humour. He's passionate about being Scottish, piping, his son (always a huge bonus!) and life. As I'm in film, I couldn't resist and requested that Spud wear a GoPro whilst he piped me to my wedding... of course he obliged with a giggle... brilliant footage and we have a friend for life! We have since featured Spud in two music videos: 'Still Beautiful': and the other, the infamous 'Flower of Scotland' We couldn't recommend Spud more highly. He's make your day more fabulous than you could possibly imagine!"

"Ben was Incredible!!! It was only a very small surprise birthday for my husband. So we only wanted something nice in the background for guests to enjoy. Ben ensured everything was perfect in regards to it not being too loud! But also enough for us to enjoy! Thoroughly enjoyed and each guest complimented how great he was! And he managed to endure a terribly hot room for his full set! Hats off to him If we ever decide to organise another event I will certainly have Ben at the top of my list! "

"Our booking with Duncan was one of the best choices we made for our wedding ceremony. He provided us with beautiful, skilled music, that made our ceremony so special and that everyone present will remember that much more because of his music. Well suited to our venue."

"We held perhaps the most successful party we've ever had on Saturday and appreciation of Martin's part in that cannot be properly described. A lovely man playing beautiful music, he constantly judged the 'mood' of the moment and adapted the play list to suit. Absolutely perfect."

"Thank you Christian for playing at our small wedding at the master builders hotel. Christian was absolutely stunning to listen to and her made sure the vibe of the day matched exactly to how I had planned. Several of the guests mentioned how good he was and I really appreciate the effort he made!"

"...would just like to say how absolutely wonderful Becky was. Family, friends and Celebrant were equally enthralled ... commenting how beautiful Becky's performance was. Becky's soulful, yet pure voice complemented my Sister's funeral service perfectly. Despite the short notice on my behalf (a different soloist had let me down) Becky did a wonderful job of interpreting my sisters favorite songs beautifully, using both acoustic guitar and violin... and my goodness Becky's voice is just heavenly. I genuinely couldn't have asked for a more perfect final farewell for my beloved sister who loved music so much. Thank you so very much to both Becky (such a wonderful talent) and Sarah-Jane (for helping to make the whole process so easy and simple), you both made a day that I had dreaded so very beautiful and memorable... thank you xx"

"Thanks so much for playing at our wedding, you were great! The guests said how fantastic you were - they all enjoyed singing along! We’re so glad we booked you for our big day. The music was just what we needed for our drinks reception and wedding breakfast. Would highly recommend you. Thanks again. "

"The concert closed with After Ives (1993) which ends with an outrageously rambunctious and “perverse homage” to J P Sousa, whom Ives apparently detested, quoting his famous The Stars and Stripes Forever on the piano with Chopinesque melodic interjections and Lisztian extravagance, all masterfully and very wittily handled by Lewis Kingsley Peart."

"On the 15th Sept you performed at the RAFA cub in Prestwick. You really brought that place to life and everyone had a really great time, all down to you. I for one will push to have you back at Rafa Prestwick. Many thanks and all the best in your career. "
