"Hi Andy, Wanted to drop you a line in appreciation of your fantastic performance yesterday. To see you looking so fabulous in Highland dress as we pulled up to the gates at Altrincham Crematorium and begin to play Lest we Forget, it was breathtaking. Followed by the Skye Boat Song, a song my Mum sang to her grandchildren when they were babies, it was delightful. Our driver opened our windows, the six of us (myself, sister and four brothers) listened in wonder as you played perfectly, how I wish my Mum could have been there, she would have just loved it. Thank you so, so much Andy, you made mine and my families memories of the day so much more special."

"Not only is he an accomplished musician, he is charming, helpful and a sheer delight to work with. If you’re looking for a piper in the Hampshire or South Coast area, don’t hesitate!"

"Thank you so much for coming to my wedding and playing for us. It was an incredible experience. Both of our favorite parts were how emotional it was when you played for the first time. It brought such a beautiful moment to our special day and I can't thank you enough. You played beautifully and your uniform was perfect. Thank you again for making our day that much more special."

"Roger the piper was an extreme pleasure to deal with, an absolute gentleman. His turn out dress was immaculate, his playing was just the right note. From start to finish he was extremely professional and made the whole process very easy for us. Definitely down for next years service please."

"Kenny played at our wedding at the end of July. Arkleston piping provided us with a great service from booking to the day. Kenny played brilliantly outside our wedding venue. He provided a friendly and atmospheric welcome for our guests and started our reception off with a bang! Thanks for everything. We would highly recommend Arkleston Piping."

"Firstly I would like to just point out that I am not one to leave comments and secondly I was hesitant to hire a Bagpiper from the internet…. But my word was Mr Bill James worth it!!! Having served with the Highlanders and being Scottish, with a lot of Scots attending my wedding. I originally asked friends within the Regiment to Pipe at my wife and my Wedding, Due to work related matters, they could not attend, which left us without a piper. Searching the internet, I found a Piper, but again due to commitments, he too could not attend, but suggested Mr James. From the start, my wife, myself and our guests, were amazed. He was fantastic. His playing of the Pipes, I am afraid to say, would have put even some of the best within the Regiment to shame!!! The perfect manner in which he conducted the pipes and himself was world class! His presentation, friendly and very professional manner stood out! (He was even at the Church before me)!! Would I recommend Mr James….? YES…. I would strongly recommend the Gentleman!!! Without any hesitation I will be keeping his details for any further function or event that we have!!!!! Thank you very much Mr Bill James, you certainly completed our wedding! To that we are both grateful. "

"Thank you for last week. I enjoyed listening to you playing the pipes, which you do so well. I also noted how well you take care of your pipes with the silver so beautifully polished. All in all, a polished performance!"

"Just to say thank you for playing at Morag and Martins Wedding on Sat 3rd. Morag got very emotional when she heard you play, she had said to Martin that she wished that they could have afforded to have a piper playing at their wedding. So to have you there made her and Martins day."

"Billy was recommended by another fantastic piper from here. Billy called me and we had such a lovely discussion about who my dad was and what he had wanted. He played the 2 songs my dad requested, highland laddie and flower of Scotland, finding out he was military he suggested flower of the forest. Hearing him piping as we arrived was so special and he played beautifully. So many people commented on how beautiful it was. Would recommend Billy a thousand times over. A true gentlemen, beautiful piper and genuinely caring. Thank you so much Billy. "
