"What a treat to have Billy play at our Burns night supper in Colsterworth. Immaculately turned out, highly skilled with the pipes and clearly very passionate about everything from his clothing to his music. Very approachable and happy to talk about his life as a piper. Professional, polite, a really lovely man. Highly recommended and a privilege to have seen. "

"Jacqui and family “Richard, thank you SO much for making yesterday extra special with your presence! Everyone enjoyed the piping so much! Richard played at my Mother’s funeral. The performance was professionally done and made the day extra special. Everyone who came enjoyed not only the music, but the presentation of Richard himself, who looked very smart in traditional piper dress! Richard himself was kind, sympathetic and organised, only wanting brief details before delivering a performance that lifted an otherwise incredibly emotional day for us all. Thank you again, it was a privilege to meet you!"

"Several times we have invited Spud no for different occasions and every time he adds value in a cheerful and pleasant way. He makes a special event even more special. Inviting him to play make it an unforgettable experience."

"Stevie played at our wedding in October and exceeded our expectations. He went above and beyond, and impressed so much our guests still speak about how amazing he was. He brought in a little tradition for us Scots and done our first toast as well which everyone loved! We cannot thank you enough for how special you made our day!"

"Thank you to Billy James who played at my father’s funeral in February. Billy had played at my father’s 90th birthday party in 2013 and so we felt it fitting that Billy piped him on his way. It was a beautiful sunny, but cold, day and we were so pleased that Billy was able to attend. Despite a very sad occasion for us all we will remember a very fitting tribute to my father. Thank you, Billy."

"Rob played at my Father In Laws funeral in March this year. Considering the current circumstances surrounding services at Crematoriums he willingly and considerately met all of the Crematoriums current requirements. He piped my Father In Law to the door and played a separate piece when the coffin was taken in and Continued playing outside until the start of the service. As a lone piper he is very smartly turned out very professional and considerate and played both our chosen pieces of music superbly. A fitting farewell tribute for a Scotsman who though quiet and reserved would have been so proud. We would all recommend Rob to anyone 100% You did him proud Rob thank you so very much "

"George was absolutely fantastic after we were let down by our previous piper and I couldn't recommend Arkleston Piping enough! James (our Piper on the day) was professional, friendly and bloody good on those pipes! The boys are still raving about being piped into the venue to The Gael and our guests thoroughly enjoyed every minute of his playing. Thanks so much for helping to make our day so very special."

""Julia was excellent. She arrived super early and looked and absolutely fantastic. She was very accommodating with my daughter who wanted to ""help"" and about the cramped space in a small old beamed pub. Wish we'd asked for another dance ! Many thanks.""
