"Rich played at my Mother's funeral recently. He welcomed guests arriving at the church, then played at the cemetery for the internment and finally welcomed them to the house for refreshments afterwards. From the very initial email enquiry he was simply wonderful. He replied quickly and when we spoke on the phone, he listened to what we wanted for the day and added his suggestions which made a very sad day incredibly personal and special. I cannot thank him enough and would highly recommend him for any occasion that requires an excellent piper. Our family will most certainly use him again."

"Preview: Allan Stewart’s Big Big Variety Show at the King’s Theatre, Edinburgh. It certainly is a small world. Quite extraordinary whom one can meet by chance, when travelling far from home. Ken Scott and I are currently enjoying an epic adventure on board the Silver Shadow cruise ship, circumnavigating South America. On this two month Grand Voyage from Fort Lauderdale,Florida, we sailed via Key West through the Panama Canal south to Ecuador, Peru, Chile, to the other British isles – the Falkland Islands – and north again to Uruguay and then the Parisian-inspired, tango dancing city of Buenos Aires. Joining the ship here as we set sail towards Brazil was a guest entertainer, Sarah Chandler, a charming young British Saxophonist. Her stylish, sassy, show attracted a large audience for her repertoire of jazz classics such as Sway and Stranger on the Shore. While in Rio during the Carnaval weekend, we met Sarah for a chat over cool cocktails on the Pool Deck. 92F in the shade! Her internationally renowned professional career on board cruise ships began around seven years ago. While appearing in a production of Calamity Jane in Margate, she heard by sheer chance that P & O cruises were urgently requiring a Sax player to replace an injured musician. Sarah was soon jetting off from the south of England to Barbados to embark on the Arcadia for a Caribbean voyage. This was the start of a successful career both on land (Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall) and at sea across the globe. (Silversea, P&O, Cunard, Carnival and Holland America). She studied the saxophone, piano, cello, flute and clarinet, graduating from Canterbury University with a Masters in composition and BA in music performance. Performing the alto and soprano sax is her true passion, blending a repertoire of jazz, classical, pop and funk. An exciting and innovative venture has been Sarah’s recent creation of a female Sax band, Saxation. This quirky quartet presents a lively, tightly choreographed show. Although established in 2014, they have already performed on board Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth. The good news is that you don’t have to board a ship to see Saxation on stage. Sarah together with her super sax players, Claire McGarahan, Stacy Docherty and Sophie Burk are appearing in Allan Stewart’s Big Big Variety Show at the King’s Theatre, Edinburgh from 8-11 April. Allan Stewart is perhaps best known to Edinburgh audiences for his brilliant portrayal as Dame in the annual Pantomime over the Festive season. The Variety show will also feature his fellow panto stars, Grant Stott and Andy Gray, comedians, Kev Orkian and Jo Caulfield, the McRoberts Brothers and a classic Big Band. You may wonder why and how Saxation are invited to take part in Allan Stewart’s Variety show. Flash back to 2007 when “little Sarah” was experiencing her debut on the Arcadia; a certain Allan Stewart was on board performing his comedy and music cabaret, in which Sarah was a backing singer. Another serendipitous moment, and they have worked together many times since. Sarah disembarked on the third day in Rio to fly off to Peru to join another cruise ship. But in six weeks or so, she will be heading to Edinburgh with the three other Saxation girls to strut their stuff on the King’s Theatre stage. Having seen Sarah’s solo show on the Silver Shadow, and also the You Tube video of Saxation quartet, this is sure to be a glamorous, sexy, super-Saxy performance. Catch them if you can!"

"I booked Rich for a Burn's Supper for a Reunion holiday in Aberfeldy. From first contact to his exit his professionalism and attention to detail was exemplary. He made it a very special occasion for all, and even had some AC/DC [as requested] for the Scousers - they loved him. Rich is a terrific chap, engaging and impeccably dressed. The perfect piper - I cannot recommend him more highly."

"Cat performed for 1 hour as our guests arrived at our annual fire and ice themed charity ball. This event was attended by a range of people from young apprentices to senior executives from the company meaning that Cat definitely had her work cut when I gave her the task of trying to please all! Cat not only met my expectations but exceeded mine and all of the others guests by a long way. She played recent catchy chart toppers such as Ed Sheeran (which no one even knew could be played on the sax) to older jazzy classics which added that touch of the class to the event! I would recommend Cat to anyone not only because of her fantastic musical skills but because she speaks to you in the weeks running up to the event ensuring all of the requirements are met which adds that exception personal touch that you would struggle to get elsewhere!

"Lynden was absolutely amazing. He played beautifully at our garden party, creating a relaxed and elegant atmosphere without ever overpowering the space. Everyone loved the music, and he was just so easy to work with — punctual, friendly, and thoughtful. Would book him again in a heartbeat.” – Imogen R, Hertfordshire"

"Madhu was absolutely brilliant! She called before the event to discuss requirements and song/genre choices. She arrived with plenty of time to set up and was so lovely. The music was brilliant - she got everyone up dancing and mingled with the crowd. She has a huge talent and I would definitely recommend!! "
