"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!

"My family traveled from the U.S. to Inverness recently, among a few other stops, hoping to visit some ancestral sites specific to our family lines. I was having trouble finding a tour guide, and the idea hit me to see if I could find a local Piper...thought even better if they were a Fraser like me....literally contacted Spud at the last minute, and he was happy to oblige. Far exceeded our expectations!!! I told him to feel free to come casually dressed on such short notice....his Highland attire was incredible! And his musicianship was outstanding...in America we would say this guy has some "serious chops"! Graced us with several wonderful tunes, and was as charming and witty as all of the other reviews mentioned. He is first class all the way!!! He turned an occasion into an event. He made our experience feel epic. You instantly feel like a friend to Spud when you meet him. And he was full of hilarious stories and quips. If you're a "yankee" and need a Piper in America or the other side of the pond....do yourself a favor and contact Spud....you will not be disappointed, and he will add so much class and fun to whatever you have going on!!!! Cannot say enough good things about this guy...a consummate professional and such a winsome and personable fellow. "

"I just want to say a massive thank you to Hector. Once we heard Hector at a wedding. We knew we needed him at our wedding. What can I say Hector went above and beyond for us and played better than I could ever have imagined and looked fantastic in his uniform! When I close my eyes and think of our day I hear them pipes playing and it still brings me to tears . I will never be able to put into words how thankful I am to you for making the journey and playing for us ! If anyone is thinking of having bagpipes played at their wedding Hector is your man!! Thank you and Slainte !!!"

"I've been meaning to follow up with you after the lovely Daniel did a fantastic job at mum's funeral in Chichester in November. He played beautifully and everyone said how magic it was having him pipe mum up the driveway in the hearse. It really was so special, I'm so glad he was available. Please could you pass on enormous thanks from me, he was brilliant, it's not easy working with funerals where you have to wait for the previous funeral to leave and so on. He also had to wait a little longer in the cold, we were a little late unfortunately due to traffic. It really was wonderful, I wish someone had filmed it. But a great and really special memory for us."

"We couldn’t be happier with Keith. In addition to being a fantastic piper Keith was highly professional. All of our guests commented on his charming personality. Keith used his experience to select the perfect pieces to play at the perfect moments and was an absolute pleasure to work with. He understood the dynamic of the event perfectly and needed no direction yet was able to be exactly where needed at all times whilst knowing when to be invisible during the photos and when his presence would enhance the photo. Thank you Keith for helping to make or day perfect!"

"We loved having James play the bagpipes at our wedding - it was the perfect Scottish touch we were looking for. James was great to work with, so professional and flexible when asked to play at different parts of the day- he was more than happy to wait around without any issues at all. He was also great with getting in touch before the wedding and always answered very quickly if I had any questions. So many guests commented on how great he was - if you are looking for bagpipes for a special event from someone who will be more than happy to interact with guests and really add value to the day, then we definitely recommend choosing James."

"Superb! We asked Jeremy to play 2 songs at a Zoom party for our parents' Golden Wedding celebration. Jeremy was easy to chat to in advance, and he charmed our audience with bonus songs from a list we had suggested, some of which he learned to play for the event. His live performances are at least as good as his videos, if not even better. I'm looking forward to an occasion when we can book Jeremy again!"

"Where do we even start with Billy... he is such a lovely gentleman with a fantastic set of pipes! He really made our Scottish wedding in England & we couldn't be happier. From the moment we spoke to Billy on the phone, we knew we wanted him to be apart of our special day. From start to finish, he was fantastic & we will never be able to thank him enough! Thank you Billy, you're one in a million. "

"I would just like to say a very big thank you from my sister Sandy and I. We thought your playing on Friday, despite the drizzly weather, at our Mum’s interment was excellent and just right for the occasion. Your warm up in the car park while everyone was gathering was an added bonus, it brought a smile to our faces as people arrived and everyone thought it very appropriate. Then leading us to the graveside and the music played throughout was so good it lifted the occasion to another level. Virtually everyone commented on you and what the pipes brought to the occasion, nothing was too much trouble from preparing and selecting the tunes ahead of time and on the day itself you made a difference, the day will be remembered by everyone who was there.Thank you."
