"Chris played for us at my Dad's funeral in Airdrie; outside the church as we left, then piped us along the road while we walked to the graveside. It was absolutely beautiful and my dad would have thought it was amazing. My dad lived in Warwickshire for 37 years and Chris played "Caledonia" as we walked and it was just so fitting. There were many who attended from England and they all absolutely loved it. wonderful send off for my dad. Thank you. "

"We booked Sarah only a few weeks before our wedding, and i have to say she surpassed all our expectations. She learnt new songs especially for us, which is sang and played perfectly. She also has a huge repertoire so there is something there for everyone. So many of our guests asked after her, and said how fantastic they thought she was both as a singer and pianist. She was a fantastic late addition to our wedding, which made it extra special. Thank you Sarah, you helped make our perfect wedding day complete. Anne & Suren"

"Over the Christmas period we hired Elliot for a special dinner party we were hosting at our home. It's an annual event and each year we try to do something a little different. Our evening with Elliot proved to be the best we had ever done. Elliot is a very talented singer and piano player. So first and foremost he is great to listen to and to have live music in your home is a real treat. However the thing that made this evening so special was his personality, my guests really liked him. He was able to take request after request, on the night and just play whatever we asked for. So the evening turned into a big sing along , with favourites for our guests and lots of special moments re-lived. I can't recommend Elliot enough as an all round entertainer. We have booked him again. "

"It was an absolute pleasure to have Chris as the piper at our wedding. We booked him to pipe the guests in and out of the ceremony, at our rural farm/barn venue in May 2023. He was friendly and helpful when I got in touch. He is a serious ‘trad’ musician, not just someone who knows a few wedding classics, and he played a fantastic selection of tunes on the day. We spoke beforehand about the sort of pipe tunes that we like, and he accommodated this happily. Price was really reasonable, and he was organised, communicated well in the run up to the day, and arrived in plenty time (always helps to minimise wedding day stress!). Walking across a courtyard to the country bothy we were married in, to the sound of Chris playing the pipes, was one of the most special and emotional moments of my whole wedding day. Whole heartedly recommend him!"

"The concert closed with After Ives (1993) which ends with an outrageously rambunctious and “perverse homage” to J P Sousa, whom Ives apparently detested, quoting his famous The Stars and Stripes Forever on the piano with Chopinesque melodic interjections and Lisztian extravagance, all masterfully and very wittily handled by Lewis Kingsley Peart."

"Thank you for arranging Martin to play during our wedding lunch. He was superb and added a very special touch to the day. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to others. "

"Jamie was a fantastic pianist with a great repertoire. He made our wedding ceremony extra special and was the perfect dinner accompaniment. Jamie was also a fantastic guy and we and our guests loved chatting with him afterwards. "

"Spud's father piped at my parents wedding and it was only appropriate that Spud continue the tradition and pipe at our wedding. We left it to Spud to select what tunes he played and we’re so pleased we did. Spud created a wonderful atmosphere at our wedding and delighted us and our local and international guests with his piping on the day. The highlight for me was when Spud piped me down the aisle and the highlight for our guests was his magnificent wedding toast. He is a consummate professional, a lovely chap and highly recommended for any event. "

"I highly recommend Sarah for all types of gatherings requiring a pianist. Sarah provided the perfect background to my mum's 70th birthday."
