"We were so pleased for Fraser and Louisa that the day went so well for them and even the sun came out. It was a lovely venue and seems everyone had a great time. Your pipe playing was a notable highlight everyone commented on including the evening guests who enjoyed the welcome. Having the pipes and a few kilts made for a memorable spectacle so many thanks again. Fraser and Lousa were thrilled to have you there."

"Our friend’s birthday do was for her 80th. She organised everything but we decided she deserved a Scottish Piper to complete the evening. Bob, who we found via Last minute musicians was the perfect fit. You should have seen the look on our friend’s face. Bob played perfectly and I noticed that he kept placing himself into excellent spots in the garden so guests could take photos for mementoes. Would highly recommend Bob as your Piper."

Thanks for your kind words, Mr. Potts. I really enjoyed playing for the 80th birthday celebrations and was pleased to receive so many tune requests. Best wishes, Bob

"Simon recently played at my fathers funeral in the Church at Lodsworth. He played 'Flowers of the Forest' during the service and then 'My Home' when the coffin was being taken out of the church. The performance and impact of Simons playing was first class ...... it was a moment we will never forget and I would highly recommend Simon to anyone looking for a professional player. His communication before the event was responsive and professional and he joined us for a few bevvies after.You will not be disappointed by Simons playing and his professional manner, he had no issues with what we requested and how we wanted things done. Thank you again Simon for making his funeral complete. "

"Rob came to our primary school to teach the children all about bagpipes. He was so passionate about his work and gave such incredible demonstrations of this wonderful instrument. The children were enthralled! Rob is such a lovely man who has so much talent and amazing stories to tell! I would book him in a heartbeat!!"

"JHi Simon. I just wanted to say thank you for the beautiful music you played at my father’s funeral. The sound of the bagpipes as you walked in front of the hearse made such a striking and moving tribute."

"We just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at my Gran’s funeral today. Your performance was absolutely amazing and truly beautiful from start to finish. The music added something very special and moving to the service, and so many people commented on how fantastic you were. You played with such professionalism, dignity, and heartfelt emotion, and it gave us great comfort on such a difficult day. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect tribute to my Gran. Thank you again for helping us give her the send-off she deserved. We would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a truly outstanding bagpiper."

"My Mum and Dad wanted a fantastic piper for their Golden Aniversory, so we booked Hector. Hector just made the night. He had everyone up dancing and singing. You can tell Hector just loves to play. Nothing was too much trouble for him. If you want the best piper. Book Hector!"

"We contacted Malcolm to play my dad on his final journey and can’t recommend him enough. From the first call he was really easy to deal with and nothing was too much trouble. We arranged for 4 songs to be played. Malcolm arrived 30mins early, walked the route my dad would be taking. Then stood and played for 20 mins before the hearse arrived. His professionalism made what has been the hardest day of mine and my family’s life more bearable and the send off he helped us give my dad was one he would of been proud of. I can’t thank you enough."

"Thank you so much for piping for Mum’s funeral. It was very good to meet you, despite the sad occasion. Thank you for making the engagement and procurement process easy for my brother and me with suggestions for music and how we could work with you on the day. You brought the recognition of Mum’s Scottish heritage, which is so important to our family, and exactly the mood, tone and atmosphere we hoped for, I will never forget it. Mum would have been blown away with the honour and the respect and dignity of it all. Thank you Simon."
