"My Mum's funeral service had to be shortened to 20 minutes, the attendees were limited, masked and sat apart - I still wanted to make the occasion a celebration of her life, memorable and significant and I'm so thankful for Andrew's involvement - without his impeccable performance and grand appearance there would have been no ceremony or gravitas to proceedings. Everyone commented on how good he was and I know my Mum would have loved how clearly and soulfully he played- the three pieces were all beautiful. Andrew was friendly, helpful and easy to deal with- going out of his way to accommodate my requests, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for any occasion."

"Billy played as a surprise for my Scottish Dad’s 80th birthday. We had a small surprise party and Billy worked with me in advance to decide the timings and what to play and it was just amazing. The range of music and quality of delivery is simply excellent. Beyond that Billy’s love of playing and of people made the day. Billy stayed with us after his main set, chatting with us and firing up the pipes again a number of times. He made every single guest feel special and everyone, especially, my Dad still talk often and with great fondness about Billy and how he made a special day unforgettable. When I came to this website looking for a piper I could never have imagined how special our piper would be. Thank you Billy and Anita."

"Phenomenal experience! Despite issues with railway delays, James kept in contact throughout the afternoon, arrived and was ready ahead of time. He worked with my plan for the evening and played more than originally asked for which was a bonus. I had a lot of positive feedback from everyone that heard him play, and would definitely book again. "

"I wish to convey my and my family's very warmest thanks for playing your Pipes so beautifully at my husbands funeral last Friday. Seeing you in all your finery, walking in front of the hearse in the sunshine was a sight to savour in the years to come. Everyone appreciated your skills and the lovely music we were hearing. I hope you get some satisfaction from knowing you played such an important role for a fellow Scot and his family."

"Robin was superb and exceeded my expectations. I asked Robin to pipe on my last Munro summit in Glencoe during the afternoon of my 60th Birthday for a party of 14 walkers. Robin reached the summit early and was able to pipe while we descended from another Munro summit and made the climb up the mountain to the 925m summit of Stob Coire Raineach, which made the event unforgettable. Robin had never climbed a Munro before, and his dedication and meticulous planning was very impressive, especially as he was the youngest person on the mountain. After the celebratory piping on the mountain top, he then piped for an hour wearing full ceremonial Highland dress in the evening at my birthday party which was held at the Red Squirrel Campsite in Glencoe. Robin is very charismatic, and he managed to get other campers involved by arranging an impromptu outdoor mini-Ceilidh with cross-generational dancing. All my guests and other folk on the campsite were very impressed by Robin. Thank you very much for making the event so special for everyone involved."

"James stepped in very last minuet when our other bag piper turned up. He was fantastic throughout the entire process. He has a great repertoire to choose from, was very professional and played beautifully on the day. He even stuck around for a bit afterwards and spoke to some of the guests which was very kind of him. I cant recommend him enough! "

"I booked George to Pipe at my Aunt's funeral and he was absolutely briliant. His Piping was wonderful and also faultless. It really brought so much to the occasion. Everyone was really pleased he was there, that it made the whole afternoon easier and said they couldn't imagine anyone could have been better. It was a pleasure to meet him and he had a lovely prescence that was supportive and professional but very friendly and relaxed. It didnt feel like there was a stranger there at all. His timing was perfect, always in the right place at the right time so everything went smoothly. I highly recommend him. He was very accommodating with arrangements and communications were good. He was punctual and well prepared and looked very smart. Our Funeral Director took his details as he said he was the best Piper they had come across. In case it is relevant to anyone - I would add we were hesitant at first about whether a piper might be over the top for a small funeral with 7 people but we went ahead as it was about representing her homeland at a service here. If you had similar concerns I would reassure you that it actually made it more special and gave a framework to the day. It really brought more meaning to the event with a real sense of occasion and the numbers didnt matter at all. No awkardness, especially as George was so relaxed and friendly. So if you are not sure .. Go for it. especially with George. Not relating to George but relevant....The comms on the website are not so fab and chase up replies for the pipers managed by the site and get off their system and on to direct comms with your piper asap."

"From first contact Andrew was very professional, he helped in identifying the right tunes for our sad occasion. Communication throughout the booking was second to none. On the day Andrew turned up with plenty of time to discuss the arrangements, he was very smartly dressed in full uniform. Andrew stayed behind to chat with all those that were inquisitive and answered any questions with dignity and great knowledge. I have no hesitation in recommending Andew."
