"Matthew is an excellent bagpiper playing tunes that everyone recognised He arrived on time and rang my mobile at the front door as I had requested .. playing "The Flower of Scotland" he also advised me that this tune was suitable to play for a birthday as I wasn't sure !! Matthew is very likeable and helpful as well as being professional staying a full forty minutes that everybody enjoyed. When he had finished playing he answered all the questions about his tartan and how long he's been playing where he plays and where he's going! Staying for a drink and a chat along. Myself and some other family members will be followers of Matthew from now on! I would definitely recommend Matthew to others"

"I hired Gordon to pipe in guests for my husband’s surprise party and for when my husband arrived, everything one loved it especially my husband as he is very proud of his Scottish roots. Communication through Encore was easy and hassle free and would definitely use them again"

"What can I say apart from you are an absolute star and consummate gentleman! Thank you so very much for your wonderful contribution to the success of our special day. From our first conversation on the telephone I knew you were the perfect choice for us. You are not only an accomplished performer you had a real and human interest in getting the day right for all of us. Such thought and attention to detail is rare - the ability to look at all sides, potential problems and offer suggestions in a manner that we welcomed is even more elusive. You have it all and we hope very much that you realise your value. Your appearance, stance and demeanour were perfect - so many of our guests commented on those aspects that had you not even raised the pipe I suspect you would have still spread joy - however your playing was beautiful and so right for the occasion. We must commend you on your ability to quite simply keep going during the playing in of the guests to the reception - there were so many to greet and the lay person has little idea regarding the physical demands on the Piper. After the event we were spoken to by a good number of guests who simply wanted to tell us how much the Piper had delighted them. One guest said 'it was my favourite part of the day' - he had found it most uplifting as did many others. We will be receiving our photographs soon and will make sure that we send you a couple of nice ones that you can use for your website. We were so lucky to find you Richard. "

"John played beautifully and at the perfect tone/pitch at my Aunt’s funeral. From first contact to discussing things direct with the funeral directors the booking process was straightforward which for these events is necessary. Everyone commented on how having his presence made my Aunt’s farewell more personal and moving. I would recommend John 100%"

"Rob provided a fantastic send off for my father and everybody thought it was a powerful and moving moment, when he played. Rob was very professional, played beautifully and his uniform was immaculate. He also stayed until after the funeral and played whilst family and friends viewed the flowers and gave their condolences which we were not expecting . Thank you so much for making such a difficult day so special , so we would recommend Rob for any occasion."

"Patrick did a brilliant job. There were tears as I walked down the isle behind him. It wasn't only the women crying, the best man ( a Scot) also cried. I walked down to Flower of Scotland. It was beautiful. Mauree."

"Alan was a wonderful surprise for my father-in-law's 70th birthday. A hugely talented musician, and a very relaxed and friendly man. He was also great with my nephews - who had all sorts of strange song requests for him, including Star Wars! Smart and efficient booking service - everything went exactly to plan. Thank you Alan for helping to create a very memorable day for everyone!"
