"Faultless from start to finish. Chris perfectly judged the occasion and played through our selection of music with quiet professionalism. Chris was punctual, smart, tidy, discreet and, most importantly, superbly musical. Although providing essentially background music, Chris’s playing was sensitive and note perfect. It’s my sincere hope that we can book Chris again soon for another event. I certainly would not hesitate to do so."

"I just wanted to ask you to pass on a heart felt thank you to Jamie. Jamie was great, his music was just what the birthday boy enjoys with a great mix of show music and other classics. 90th Birthday Party"

"Sarah recently played at our wedding and was absolutely fantastic! She entertained our guests before the service with her repertoire and played a tune she learnt especially for me to walk up the aisle to. She expertly amended the end of the tune on the day to fit perfectly with the time it took me to walk up the aisle. Sarah was professional and reliable as well as bringing her sense of fun and enthusiasm for music to the day. Loads of our guests have commented on how great she was and we loved having her as part of our celebrations! Massive thanks to Sarah!!"

"Wow wow wow. If you are unsure who to book for your event book Daniel! He played at my sisters hen do as a surprise and was very respectful of that, setting up quietly. He took requests all night (from 17 very demanding hens) and never faulted in his professionalism and skill! Amazing voice, amazing talent. I’m recommending him to everyone and will book him again without hesitation. "

"Jack LITERALLY stopped my mum in her steps when she heard him playing at west quay, my brother and I, had a surprise party planned for her and my dad at the time, and we knew after this moment we had to try and get Jack to play at the party, as we were originally looking for a musician/dj for the event. Thankfully Jack was available to help and we could not have asked for a better outcome!! He is an incredible pianist who left all of our guests mesmerised throughout the evening. My mums night was also complete when she noticed who she could hear playing at her party! He played a mixture of songs, from old classics, to more up-beat to date songs!! He even played a few requests which really got the crowd tuned in!! Such a lovely kind person as well, could not fault him or his performance. Definitely worth having at any private parties! You certainly wouldn’t regret it!"

"Ann’s contribution to our daughter’s wedding was so valuable. We had clear and professional communication throughout the entire process of obtaining a quote, booking and choosing the music. Ann was so flexible with the music choices and was entirely happy to learn some new Welsh tunes which meant a lot to us and some of our guests. The day was perfect and enhanced by the beautiful music that Ann played for us during the ceremony and the drinks reception. "

"Chris came to play his pipes for our family gathering at Abbotsford House in Melrose in August 2022. He played for around 45 minutes and we were absolutely delighted with his performance. As well as playing many of the usual pipe tunes, Chris was also happy to play a few requests such as the Skye Boat song and Mull of Kintyre. Chris was a real professional: communication before the event was very easy and responsive, and on the day he travelled from Glasgow to be with us, arriving perfectly on time. Chris was immaculately turned out, and was happy to stay on for photos and chatting at the end of his set. Chris is very personable and professional, I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for a piper for a family or professional gathering."

"We hired Jamie to play the drinks reception at our wedding after seeing his videos and reading fantastic reviews. Jamie was super helpful through the process of planning our songs, arrived at our venue early to ensure he was set up on time and cannot recommend him highly enough for how amazingly he played, all our guests were commenting on how brilliant he was! He really gave our wedding the wow factor. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Jamie again for future events, thank you again so much Jamie! "

"Booking EM Strings was a dream fulfilled as I always wanted a live instrument band playing on my wedding. It was surreal walking in to my favourite song playing from my childhood favourite film that is a classic Bollywood love story. The guest thoroughly enjoyed listening to them during the canapés and it set the tone of the wedding day so perfectly! I would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of booking for their special day. The variety of songs that they play means there’s something for everyone to enjoy."

"Des is an inspiring musician. I've had the pleasure of hearing him play on many occassions. He is a condifident leader and captivates his audience. His encouraging and up beat manner make him a refreshing and easy listening sound. "

"5-star Google Review: Nigel provided an amazing musical soundtrack for our wedding day. We got to chose a selection of songs from a very large array of music from Nigel’s repertoire; it was evident that he put in the practice to nail every single note. Nigel also effortlessly took on many special song requests from our guests which went down a treat! Nigel used his creative touch to play the grooms entrance song so that it had more of a meaningful, emotional impact. We can’t recommended Nigel enough!"
