"David made Mum's funeral extra special, with wonderfully stirring & uplifting piping. As a Scots family it meant a lot & he was perfect, not just musically but in dress, which was splendid & immaculate. We recommend him very highly."

"I can well believe he's a World champion at that inflatable baggy thing !! He was flipping brilliant. The only thing we said was play things that are rousing, and he did so with gusto. At one point he even played improvised pipes along with our traditional ceilidh band that left our congregation in awe. Thunderstruck on the bagpipes was quite the spectacle also. I thought it only had about 6 notes. Obviously not!!! I don't usually write reviews, but Dave was not only excellent, he's also just a damn nice bloke and even helped me rally our reluctant troops for the charity duck race ! Couldn't have asked for more. 10/10. No bother. Highly reccomend. "

"I booked Daniel to play at my friends wedding reception, as a surprise. It was just spot-on. Great communication from Daniel and S-J throughout to keep the booking a surprise and ensure it came off as planned. Daniel's playing was superb, not a single note wrong. He was very good at judging where to stand and when to play, so as to provide a lovely atmosphere but not overpower conversation. 10/10 - the wedding guests enjoyed it, and the bride & groom loved it. When Daniel played them into the dinner hall I had goosebumps! Thanks so much!"

"There's only one must have at the funeral of a Son of Scotland. Clyde Built as my husband , Andrew, would say. It must be a Scottish Piper and Tom fulfilled that roll to perfection. His dress and demeanour gave reverence to the occasion and although limited by Covid his playing nevertheless tugged at the heart strings and brought tears to the eyes. As in the song by Moira Kerr...You'll Live Forever when the Piper Plays....Thankyou Tom."

"Stevie surprised my Wife at her 50th birthday party and gave a fantastic performance thrilling all the guests and making the evening memorable and extra special. Totally professional from the first contact through to the evening itself sorting all the details and timing. A thoroughly nice bloke and I hope we meet again. Best wishes from Richard and Gail."

"When I was booking Andrew for my mother's funeral, he gave me a lot of details about the different points at which he could play the pipes, specfically Highland Cathedral. He was extremely helpful, polite and patient with me. I had to discuss and agree the idea of having a piper, with family, the vicar and also the funeral director - the latter heard that I had found Andrew Brian and he told me to book him immediately. It transpires that they had met each other at a previous funeral. So, for me that was endorsement enough. Andrew was marvellous and turned a sad day into something rather fitting and beautiful. I am so grateful."
