Review Centre: Bagpipers

"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."

"Fantastic experience! Our piper was Ian. He is a great musician and understands how to entertain a group with his bagpipe! He answered all our questions, even the most important one: What are men wearing under their kilt ;) If you want to find out too and love bagpipes, add to your travels in Scotland a session with your own piper! You will surely love it as much as we did!"

"George came to play at my Wee Scottish Granny's funeral, it was so, so much more than we could have ever imagined it to have been. Gran was the centre of our world and we wanted her funeral to be everything that she deserved, it was just that and more! George was beyond incredible, he piped the hearse up to the crematorium and then piped her into the crematorium, he then stood at the front whilst we all walked in, performed half way through and at the end of the service. Her elderly brother who couldn't make the funeral was able to watch online and said he had never seen anything like it. He turned a really sad occasion into a really beautiful one instead. He was so professional, lovely and graceful. I just couldn't recommend him more. Thankyou so much George!"

"I had the pleasure of experiencing the enchanting tunes by Hector, who performed at our hotel. From the moment his music filled the air, I was captivated by the soul-stirring melodies that echoed through the lobby. His skillful and passionate playing created a truly memorable atmosphere for our guests. I highly recommend experiencing this wonderful musician's talents yourself – it's an experience you won't want to miss! Best Callum"

"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. "

"I am lost for words. Jonny made the saddest of days into an unforgettable and beautiful day. Today, I scattered the ashes of my Mum, her beloved dog Harry and my eldest brother. Jonny was the epitome of both professionalism and talent. He piped beautifully and made today what my Mum would have loved. I cannot recommend him enough. If you’re looking for a piper, look no further."
