"Spud is simply the best! Such a great guy and an amazing, versatile, authentic and truly gifted piper! He brings such energy and great vibes to audiences of all sizes. His costume is brilliant too! Invited him to perform for a special charity concert for a live TV audience of millions and he absolutely made the night! Look no further than Spud the Piper! "

"I would just like to say how marvellous Alan was as the guitarist at our daughters wedding His playing was excellent. He played a wide selection of tunes for varying parts of the day. He even learned new tunes for us. All the guests commented on how wonderful he was. He was friendly, polite and just blended in seamlessly to what was going on, adding that extra sparkle for us. We would thoroughly recommend Alan for any event. He was just perfect for our wedding and we thank him enormously."

"What playing! Here was technical virtuosity and musical colour illustrating the diversity of mood which these unusual pictures inspired. This brought to a dramatic conclusion a superb recital that was rich in diversity, enabling us to glimpse the variety of interpretative skills which John possesses. We hope to hear him again very soon."

It really added something unique to the drinks reception — elegant but modern. We had clients flying in from all over Europe and your performance helped create a relaxed, sophisticated vibe. Thanks again and hope to work together soon. Julian"

"We hired Alan to play at our wedding reception. Throughout the whole process leading up to the wedding, he was extremely responsive and engaging, as well as accommodating, as he even moved things around to be able to perform on our day. He provided us with a long list of songs in different genres that he could play to help us choose the songs we wanted. On the day, we had a lot of positive feedback from our guests regarding how well he performed. His performance went a long way to help create an amazing atmosphere during the reception as well as the wedding breakfast. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alan to anyone that wishes to engage in his services. Thank you Alan for performing on our special day! "

"Andrew recently performed for my ex- girlfriend and I at my home over a romantic candle lit dinner. I was trying to win her heart back. The gods conspired against me and sent a severe storm on the evening Andrew was due to travel from London to Brighton cancelling most trains in the process and causing havoc on the motorways. Despite this Andrew made every effort to get here as he knew how important it was too me and somehow he made it here in time. Andrew's mastery of the violin is as intuitive as it is beautiful and he set the tone with the theme from the Godfather. Upon learning that my ex is Hungarian, he played some traditional Hungarian songs that brought tears of joy and laughter to her eyes. She was amazed and It meant so much to me to see her laugh and smile again. A personal highlight for me was when he played Cohen's 'Dance Me To The End of Love'. Andrew can play anything. If there is something he doesn't know (which is rare) he picks it up almost instantly upon the slightest listen. Andrew dressed impeccably, and the really nice thing is that I could tell that Andrew genuinely enjoyed the evening as much as we did. Andrew does not go through the motions, it is clearly more than work for him, it is a passion. It was the most romantic evening my ex and I had ever had together, and we hope to see Andrew again in the near future."
