"I would highly recommend Billy James for any function.He was friendly and very helpful when arranging for him to play at my Mothers 100th garden party. I wasn’t sure what music she would like to hear, but Billy James selected some music that was completely suitable. Friendly, professional, punctual and very much looking the part in his dress, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him . A genuine lovely man."

"Stevie played at our wedding in October and exceeded our expectations. He went above and beyond, and impressed so much our guests still speak about how amazing he was. He brought in a little tradition for us Scots and done our first toast as well which everyone loved! We cannot thank you enough for how special you made our day!"

"What can I say apart from you are an absolute star and consummate gentleman! Thank you so very much for your wonderful contribution to the success of our special day. From our first conversation on the telephone I knew you were the perfect choice for us. You are not only an accomplished performer you had a real and human interest in getting the day right for all of us. Such thought and attention to detail is rare - the ability to look at all sides, potential problems and offer suggestions in a manner that we welcomed is even more elusive. You have it all and we hope very much that you realise your value. Your appearance, stance and demeanour were perfect - so many of our guests commented on those aspects that had you not even raised the pipe I suspect you would have still spread joy - however your playing was beautiful and so right for the occasion. We must commend you on your ability to quite simply keep going during the playing in of the guests to the reception - there were so many to greet and the lay person has little idea regarding the physical demands on the Piper. After the event we were spoken to by a good number of guests who simply wanted to tell us how much the Piper had delighted them. One guest said 'it was my favourite part of the day' - he had found it most uplifting as did many others. We will be receiving our photographs soon and will make sure that we send you a couple of nice ones that you can use for your website. We were so lucky to find you Richard. "

"Shivvy made our Wedding so memorable, her rendition of 'Highland Cathedral' on the Bagpipes, along with the Church Organist, was the most wonderful version we have ever heard. Thank you Shivvy, for making our Wedding so special."

"Many thanks for your kind assistance during the funeral service for the late Mrs Stevens. The family were very critical that the music was played to perfection, and I was happy to say that they stated how lovely you did this. I have no hesitation in recommending you again for any of my clients. I found you to be extremely polite and well mannered. A credit to all young musicians. Well done and many thanks."

"John played for my grandfathers funeral and was excellent, very well turned out and was ready and waiting for our arrival at the cemetery. A previous conversation with John about what we would like played was met with enthusiasm and ideas that far far exceeded anything we could of thought of. Everyone commented how John’s contribution gave a perfect send off to my grandfather. Definitely one to keep contact details for. If I could give more than 10/10 I would. Thank you "

"I booked Hector because I wanted a great piper who could play the Irish National Anthem and traditional Irish music. Hector was magnificent and his music was so beautiful and haunting. Hector made our good bye perfect."

"Where do we even start with Billy... he is such a lovely gentleman with a fantastic set of pipes! He really made our Scottish wedding in England & we couldn't be happier. From the moment we spoke to Billy on the phone, we knew we wanted him to be apart of our special day. From start to finish, he was fantastic & we will never be able to thank him enough! Thank you Billy, you're one in a million. "

"We wanted a piper for our wedding blessing ( we got married in Gretna Green) and wanted a Scottish feel to it. We were given Billy’s number and from the moment I rang him through to the time he left the reception. He is such a nice man and very helpful. We explained that we would like the Lincolnshire Poacher song when we walked down the aisle. He played that and also the guests arriving at church, us going down the aisle and back down, when photos were being taken and at the reception. The guests were all very impressed as were we. We would recommend him for any occasion you want a piper for. He is fantastic."

"Many many thanks for making Cilla’s send-off so memorable and uplifting, albeit very emotional. It could not have gone any better. Everyone there made a point of telling me how wonderful it was."
