"We decided to honour our mums heritage with a piper playing at her funeral.Mums was from the Isle of Islay and the particular piece we wanted played is a memory from her homeland . Unfortunately George hadn’t played ‘Westering Home ‘before but this remarkable musician said he could learn it before the funeral.George was absolutely amazing .He played it perfectly along with Amazing Grace and Flower of Scotland .Our undertaker said he’d been attending funerals for over 25 years and had never heard a piper like George.He said he was best he’d ever heard ,high praise indeed and so well deserved.Thank you George you have left us with a very special memory on such a sad day ."

"We were absolutely thrilled that we chose Matthew as our bagpiper for our wedding in London. His playing was excellent, and he was extremely friendly, professional, and happy to accommodate our requests. We would highly recommend him!"

"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!

"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."

"I cannot recommend Billy highly enough. We contacted several local pipers before Billy and were amazed that he provided the best quote with, by far, the most experience. On the day we wanted Billy to pipe the guests into the church and as well as us out of the church after we were marrIed. However, Billy went above and beyond and l, leading the procession, piped us and the guests on the 500m walk through woodland to the venue and stayed to mingle with the guests for a while too, which was a nice touch. Thoroughly professional and a gentleman, thank you Billy. Al and El Henderson "

"What can be said about Spud The Piper that has not already been said! Top class Piper & gentleman, brilliant entertainer, magical humour & even enchanting. On top of all that he is Pure Scottish & I’m proud to call him a close friend. Look no further for your Events, nothing better out there...."

"Billy was amazing playing throughout our wedding day, keeping up with the ever changing schedule that is a wedding! All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed the bagpipes, as did we. Billy was professional and friendly from first contact, making suggestions on music, when and where to play etc. and generally went with the flow. A lovely guy, can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you Billy for the fantastic memories! Take care, best wishes Ruth & Matt"

"Thank you for playing at our father's funeral yesterday. It was perfect! Thank you so much. I've just watched the video my friend took, both piping the coffin to the entrance of the crematorium and afterwards at the end of the service - it was just as we wanted, thank you so much. Many thanks K "

"John played beautifully and at the perfect tone/pitch at my Aunt’s funeral. From first contact to discussing things direct with the funeral directors the booking process was straightforward which for these events is necessary. Everyone commented on how having his presence made my Aunt’s farewell more personal and moving. I would recommend John 100%"
