"This is now the 3rd year Tom has played for my Father and Uncles memorial. He has always been very accommodating with times and choice of tunes. Even created CD's at my request(enquire with Tom). Tom's experience, knowledge and professionalism is second to none and always comes first! Last minute requests, he takes in his stride. He has many fascinating stories to tell. Above all, he is a true gentleman. As always Tom, thank you and look forward to next year"

Thank you Graeme! It was wonderful to see you and your family members again and to play for your Mum in South Africa again! The nice weather helped! Hope to see you again next year! All the best!

"Now that my family have gone back to Italy and Edinburgh I just wanted to thank you for playing at Dave’s funeral on Monday. You played beautifully and everybody at the cemetery agreed that it was a very apt tribute to my husband. I know that you’re playing from the chapel to the graveside gave both my daughter and myself strength to walk from the chapel behind the coffin - I felt my head lift and my spine straighten and the position where you stood on the other side of the path will always be in my memory especially when I visit his grave. Thank you again for adding that special touch of dignity to a very dignified man."

"Jacqui and family “Richard, thank you SO much for making yesterday extra special with your presence! Everyone enjoyed the piping so much! Richard played at my Mother’s funeral. The performance was professionally done and made the day extra special. Everyone who came enjoyed not only the music, but the presentation of Richard himself, who looked very smart in traditional piper dress! Richard himself was kind, sympathetic and organised, only wanting brief details before delivering a performance that lifted an otherwise incredibly emotional day for us all. Thank you again, it was a privilege to meet you!"

" After weeks of researching the best piper I could find we came across Patrick. We asked if he could also play with a drummer. Patrick sourced Anthony the drummer for us and what a decision it was. The piper and the drummer played in perfect harmony together. Although it was a somber event being a funeral, they lifted the spirits of those in attendance and and made it the perfect send off. As a family we couldn't have asked for a better performance. They were easy to organise and communicate with. Outstanding service, I would thoroughly recommend both the piper and the drummer"

"We contacted and arranged for George to play as a surprise for my husband on our wedding day. George is an absolute gent, very warm and friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. George played me down the aisle, again after the ceremony and for a confetti tunnel afterwards. He played beautifully, and the songs chosen were perfect. Not forgetting that George was extremely helpful and was more than happy to have pictures taken with everyone! Without a doubt, we feel extremely privileged that George was a part of our day- having him play reduced many people to tears and made the ceremony absolutely perfect. Something we will never forget. He really was the icing on the cake! Thank you again George, you are wonderful! "

"Pipe Major Julie was an absolutely amazing piper and we couldn't be happier we hired her to play at our wedding! She was friendly and communicative, and incredibly helpful when we had a last minute hiccup in our wedding plans. "

If you need a Piper (and dancers if required as he provides them too) you will not be disappointed! He is professional and funny all at same time. "

"The family have asked me to thank you for your excellent playing at Rawdon Crematorium in Leeds yesterday. The way you played Amazing Grace was particularly moving and your bagpipe had a wonderful sound."

"Richard played the pipes at our wedding, it was fantastic and really added to our day. We would have no hesitation in recommending Richard. His professionalism and attention to detail ensured that it all went smoothly and all the timings worked. He took time to go through the different options with us, explaining what would and wouldn't work whilst giving us different ideas and suggestions. The pipes were fantastic and Richard even let the guests play them. Hannah and Henry"
