Review Centre: Bagpipers

"Piper Chic recently played at my mother's funeral. He was not only professional but extremely accomodating. Several conversations beforehand about what we wanted to be played and when, then free reign for the 'in-between' times. He made such a huge impact on the day, my Mum would have loved him. He walked the procession in, played Amazing Grace as my Mum was brought in to the chapel and played Flower of Scotland after the curtains closed and we left. He also played a medley of highland songs for everyones entry into the wake. A perfect bagpiper & gent x "

"Hi Andy, Wanted to drop you a line in appreciation of your fantastic performance yesterday. To see you looking so fabulous in Highland dress as we pulled up to the gates at Altrincham Crematorium and begin to play Lest we Forget, it was breathtaking. Followed by the Skye Boat Song, a song my Mum sang to her grandchildren when they were babies, it was delightful. Our driver opened our windows, the six of us (myself, sister and four brothers) listened in wonder as you played perfectly, how I wish my Mum could have been there, she would have just loved it. Thank you so, so much Andy, you made mine and my families memories of the day so much more special."

"Dear Simon I just wanted to thank you for your professional and much commented performance at my daughter Sophie’s wedding at Hampton Court Castle on Saturday. Both Sophie and Jamie her now husband loved the idea of a piper and you did her proud. I loved the way you just started playing when you arrived so it could be heard by all the guests in their rooms getting ready, truly wonderful and my tearful walk down the aisle to give my lovely daughter away was made even more special by the sound of the pipes. Thanks again. Best Regards Mark and Lucy"

"Jeremy played at our wedding during the ceremony. I don't quite know how to put into words how special he made it. It was beyond every expectation and just simply blew our guests (and us!) away! He was professional from start to finish and was able to work at a DIY wedding and was able to 'ad-hoc' with ease when there were slight delays or parts of the ceremony took longer than expected. If you book Jeremy for your wedding, you will not be disappointed with the sublime singing, professionalism and performance. But, on top of that, he is such a nice, friendly and open person who anyone would want to have at their wedding!"

"Thank you Simon for piping for my father's funeral yesterday. It was a great send-off, made extra special by your piping. Everyone who attended commented on how lovely it was to have the sound of the bagpipes play on the approach."

"We wanted tunes that meant a lot to our Mum. Dark Island, Highland Cradle Song, A Man's a Man and My Home. Hector played them all beautifully. He looked amazing and made our farewell really personal. Thank you so much Hector."

"Our memorable day made even more unforgettable due to the fantastic playing of Pipe Major Billy James, who at incredibly short notice provided the most amazing music at our Wedding at Allington Manor in Lincolnshire. Thank you so much."

"My brother recently died in Australia, and my remaining brother and I couldn't attend his funeral, as like so many other people during these troubled times. We returned to our brother's birth-place, in Lancashire, where there is a family vault, laid flowers and asked Malcolm to play two of my brother's favourite tunes. It was a most moving moment, not just because of the pipes but because of the kindness shown to us both by the piper himself. Although it was a brief ceremony, it was conducted with dignity and consideration. "
