Billy is a really nice person, very friendly, polite, thoughtful and kind he is a true professional and very passionate about what he does, and he deserves every success. Many Many Thanks. "

"We booked James for our Wedding that was due to take place in 2020. Due to the current situation we had to move our wedding to 2021. James was responsive and sympathetic and moved our wedding with no trouble. When it came to the day, James was simply amazing. Hearing him warm up to the song I was walking down the aisle to, made my nerves disappear. Every song he sang was amazing and our guests had nothing but compliments. Thank you so much for being simply incredible. If you want to put an extra special touch on your wedding day, James is the guy for you!"

"We wanted to thank you so much for playing for our ceremony and drinks reception. You helped to create the perfect atmosphere on the day and we had so many guests commenting on how brilliant you were. You went above and beyond for us by learning specific songs for our special day on our request. Nothing was too much for you and you were so accommodating and flexible. It was very easy to communicate with you in the lead up to the wedding and we really appreciate that you worked with us when we had to postpone the wedding due to Covid."

Thank you so much Rory for going above and beyond. Thank you again."

"What an amazing performance for an amazing day. We hired Andrew for the biggest day of our lives and had many conversations prior to the day in order to make sure everything was spot on. Following his advice on numerous songs for particular parts of the wedding, it couldn’t have been more perfect. Our wedding was delayed by nearly an hour due to dress malfunction, but Andrew continued to perform for his audience and even threw in a dance, keeping the audience delighted. Watching back on videos of the wedding, it is quite clear that despite how important the day was, the quality of Andrews performance just made it even more emotional and really fitting for the day. I can’t thank him enough for all of his help, constant dialogue with organisation, quality of performance and general pleasantness. Music apart, Andrew is a very well mannered, polite and understanding individual who every guest warmed to during our day. Thank you for everything Andrew."

"Billy attended the wake for my husband who was also an amateur piper and played a number of tunes my husband enjoyed playing. His playing gave me goosebumps and everyone loved listening. Billy did a couple of sets including piping around the garden! He provided a wonderful touching tribute to my wonderful husband. I highly recommend Billy to everyone looking for a special tribute for any occasion. Thank you Billy x"

"I have recovered after a fantastic night! I was so delighted that Debbie was able to sing for us at our Christmas Dance. I knew after the first song we were onto a winner, always a good sign when there are people on the dance floor from the beginning. Everyone was so enthusiastic about Debbie and her singing and her performance was the perfect volume for them as they were able to talk. Debbie certainly picked the right songs for the crowd and it’s not easy pleasing everyone. I hope that we can call on you again Debbie. "

"Jon is most importantly a great musician who has sang and played at my recent birthday and he’s more than recommended. A true musician dedicated to music and entertaining people. Very good at building an atmosphere, and bringing an essence to everyone’s evening. Highly recommended if you are considering hiring John’s talents. He really is worth every penny!"
