"Piper dropped it last minute and gave Harry a call, he was at the gig within the hour and playing, and without a doubt the best piper I have heard, playing any song people requested, from the classics to modern day chart music. Would be a crime not to hire this guy!"

"You can have just a piper ..or you can have Spud, someone that all your guests will remember - he is the best! He is friendly, professional, very funny & of course extremely talented at playing the pipes! We remember him for not only his amazing pipe playing but also for chatting to our guests, having a laugh with us and of course for his fantastic toast!! Rubber bumpers!! (Private joke - he did not mention rubber bumpers) Would recommend anyone to get in touch with Spud when needing a piper for any occasion. "

"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!"

"We simply cannot recommend Keith the Piper more highly. We are a professional folk duo and required a piper to feature in a live music video for our single ‘Ae Fond Kiss.’ After our initial production plans were interrupted by the first Covid lockdown(!) Keith readily agreed to work remotely, recording a wonderful arrangement, and providing a series of videos shot from different angles (with a choice of tempos) to give us extra options to play with… He also provided expert consultation services on how best to record the pipes for our official studio recording. We would work with him again in a heartbeat, and in fact have already contracted him to perform on a future single. Keith is personable, professional, knowledgable, and an absolute joy to work with... If you are seeking a piper for recording, filming, session work and/or live events, then look no further. He provides a first class service from start to finish… 10/10!"

"Thank you for starting the most amazing day of my life so well! I married my husband at the Reid Rooms, Margaret Roding. Your bagpipes were playing for all the guests as they arrived and waited for me in the ceremony room. As I came out with my Dad to go to the ceremony room I was greeted by the Skye Boat Song. I asked for this as it was sentimental, I was so emotional I nearly sobbed at how lovely it was to be played into the ceremony room. At the end of the service when we came through the guard of honour we were greeted again by you playing the Highland Catherdral, it was amazing. The atmosphere was electric and your bagpipes set the scene so well. Thank you for being so accommodating for my big day. For allowing me to totally over organise and for standing out in the cold and playing. I would highly recommend you!"

"Absolutely brilliant. Chris was very open and reached out very early on in the process to ensure we were comfortable. He was a very fine musician and his piping for us at our wedding brought a real touch of class. Thank you so much - highly recommend !!!"

"Hi so sorry for the late reply I needed a few days to digest the day. It was absolutely heart-wrenching. Honestly, we can’t thank you enough no words could describe how amazing you were. Everyone has been talking about you saying you were amazing and completely made his send-off fit for royalty. The number of messages and posts on social media we’ve had said his funeral was fit for a king is out of this world. I have some fantastic videos and pictures. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for attending. He would have been beaming with pride xx"

"It was an absolute pleasure having Chris play both the pipes/keyboard on our wedding day! From the initial booking and planning meetings, all the way through to the actual day, Chris went above and beyond to make sure every part of the music was perfect. We felt really listened to throughout the planning and on the actual day, everything ran perfectly. Nothing was too much trouble! We had so many comments on our reception music and everyone really enjoyed guessing where the popular music was from! Thank you again!"

"Jeremy played during the drinks reception of our wedding.... wow wow wow! He was incredible, everyone loved it and his set list was perfect. Such a lovely guy too. And the little text he sent on the wedding morning checking in with me was also a lovely personal touch. great value for money, and will certainly book him again for any other events we might plan!"

"We had the absolute pleasure of hosting Simon the  and it was a day filled with joy, music, and heartwarming memories! As Simon strolled through our home, the enchanting sound of bagpipes filled the air, creating a magical atmosphere that touched the hearts of our residents and staff alike. For many of our residents, this visit was more than just a musical performance; it was a journey down memory lane. The soulful tunes allowed them to reminisce about their Scottish roots, sharing stories of family members and recalling precious moments from visits to the beautiful land of Scotland A huge thank you to Simon for sharing his talent and spreading so much happiness. We look forward to more moments like these that make our home a warm and vibrant community for everyone!"

"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!"

"John played for my grandfathers funeral and was excellent, very well turned out and was ready and waiting for our arrival at the cemetery. A previous conversation with John about what we would like played was met with enthusiasm and ideas that far far exceeded anything we could of thought of. Everyone commented how John’s contribution gave a perfect send off to my grandfather. Definitely one to keep contact details for. If I could give more than 10/10 I would. Thank you "

"Hector played at our wedding in the Ettrick Valley in February. Hector played through the snow and ice as if it was nothing. Hector piped us out the church and at the reception. His turn out and playing made our wedding. Thank you so much Hector. You are a star!"
