"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': http://reid-richards.com/work/still-beautiful/ and the other, the infamous 'Flower of Scotland' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaUU33OO-9s We couldn't recommend Spud more highly. He's make your day more fabulous than you could possibly imagine! "

"James was absolutely brilliant and kept our guests entertained during our drinks reception. We’re so glad we booked him! Our guests had lots of lovely things to say about James. Walking into our wedding breakfast as James played ‘September’ by Earth, Wind and Fire and guests were on their feet clapping is one of my favourite wedding memories. Thank you for being part of our wedding and helping to make it so special!"

"“Sam, I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful playing, the great professionalism and sheer hard work you put in. It simply wouldn’t have been as brilliant without the superb trumpet playing. It really added greatly, so thanks for all you did.” "

"Stephen was an absolute star! He made my evening so special. Such a talented pianist - a dream to deal with in preparation for the event; he prepared particular pieces that I asked him too; and was happy to play requests from my guests. I would definitely book again! Thank you!! "

"I heard Rory playing an impromptu set at the Long Table and I was blown away with his performance. Extremely talented on many instruments, he got everybody dancing and a really fun guy. I'd recommend him to get the party started with the talent!"

"Sam was outstanding at our recent wedding. I would have no hesitation recommending Sam. We booked Sam for afternoon Ibiza style session and for our evening entertainment with Dj. He did not disappoint, constantly had everyone on their feet. We had so many comments from our guests about how good he was. Thank you so much to Sam, it was exactly what we wanted."

"I would just like to say a MASSIVE thank you to Sue (Simply Sax) for performing brilliantly at our Sons 21st Party recently. Having the wonderful saxophone playing whilst guests arrive made an instant impact. So many guests commented positively. Although Sue was booked to perform until the DJ started, she agreed to stick around until we presented the cake and played Happy Birthday with the DJ's record too. Sue was so easy to work with too, nothing too much trouble. HIGHLY recommended!"

Many thanks for your wonderful feedback Julie. It was lovely to meet you. You arranged such a great party for your son. It was most enjoyable to play to a younger audience. Thank you for you booking.

"Billy played at our wedding in October. We booked very last minute and he couldn’t have been more accommodating. Not only was he punctual, discreet and a fabulous musician, he is also a really lovely chap and we loved having him there. Thank you Billy. "

"I cannot express enough gratitude for the brilliant performance delivered by Simon at my father's funeral in Hereford. Simon's mastery of the bagpipes added an incredibly poignant and deeply moving element to the service. His choice of tunes were not only impeccably played but also reflected a profound understanding of the solemnity of the occasion. Simon's music resonated through the church, evoking a range of emotions that truly honoured my father's memory. Beyond his exceptional musical talent, Simon exhibited a high level of professionalism and compassion. His presence brought a sense of authenticity and tradition, providing solace to my family. I am immensely grateful for Simon's contribution to the funeral, turning a sombre moment into a beautiful and fitting tribute. His music brought comfort and a touch of grace that made the ceremony truly unforgettable. "
