"We heard Hecor play at the Army Navy Rugby at Twickenham and knew we wanted him for our wedding in Rhodes. Hector wore full Highland uniform in 29 degree blazing heat. Hector composed my Wedding March, piped me down the aisle and gave a framed copy of my wedding March, as a beautiful surprise. His music and uniforms were magnificent over the entire 4 days. We also booked Hector for our 2nd reception in Manchester. Hector and his piping were 100 out of 10. All our guests kept talking about was how brilliant our piper. Hector extra touches just made our Wedding."

"I hired Spud to pipe open my Tavern. He flew over to Virginia in March but unfortunately we weren’t ready to open. Instead of sitting in his cabin enjoying his holiday, he chose to pipe for me at our local churches and schools. My community benefited from my poor planning! I have to say my family benefited too. There’s nothing like hearing the bagpipes coming from your cabin, surrounded by the mountains, it was beautiful. I hope he’ll make it back to Virginia soon!"

"Patrick I just wanted to thank you for being absolutely brilliant yesterday. So sorry I didn’t get to speak to you much but we heard you play. Brought a tear to my eye hearing Flower of Scotland as my dad suddenly passed away recently and this was his song. He was a very proud Scot. The guests all thought you were so good. Thanks again"

"Dear Cameron, Thank you so very much for playing at my father’s funeral today. You made the day very special for us and I’m sure that my father would have loved it. We can recommend you to anyone that wants a piper at their occasion. You were respectful and polite and everyone said how good and professional you were. We would definitely use you again in the future. "

"Hector was only supposed to play for an hour, but stayed and played most the night, as our guests wouldn't let him go. Great piper and such a nice Guy. "

"David played for us as we entered the gates for my brothers funeral. And after we can out. He was fantastic, all guests came to me saying that was a great way to say goodbye to by brother. If I ever need a piper again, David is the one I will call on. Highly recommended."

"I’m sorry I did not get the chance to speak to you yesterday, so I wanted to say thank you for the beautiful music you played for my Dad’s funeral. There had been miscommunication and the mourners were gathered outside the chapel rather than at the gate. Nevertheless it made the sad occasion very special to all of us to hear the Scottish pipes leading my Dad on his final journey, and it will be a cherished memory for me always. Thank you again."

"We contacted Malcolm to play my dad on his final journey and can’t recommend him enough. From the first call he was really easy to deal with and nothing was too much trouble. We arranged for 4 songs to be played. Malcolm arrived 30mins early, walked the route my dad would be taking. Then stood and played for 20 mins before the hearse arrived. His professionalism made what has been the hardest day of mine and my family’s life more bearable and the send off he helped us give my dad was one he would of been proud of. I can’t thank you enough."

"Glen is fantastic!!! He plays the pipes beautifully! He was amazing on the day of our wedding! Our guests were blown away with his repertoire. I asked for specific tunes and he said yes without hesitation! I’d recommend Glen before anyother Piper!"

"Ed was absolutely fantastic at our wedding last month. He played for guests arriving at our venue from the church and was so talented. All of the guests loved it and I loved that it brought the Scottish culture to a Scottish/ Nigerian wedding. Even staff at the venue were saying how amazing he was! Very good value for money and prompt at replying to emails and knowledgeable about what would work at the venue. Would definitely recommend! "

"I can't recommend Iain highly enough. Communication was first rate and we worked through song choices and logistics easily. He arrived and set up himself without me even being there and played beautifully. It added a real touch to my Mother's funeral. Thanks Iain."

"We were contacted by Andrew Elliott who expressed a keen interest in assisting with any of our Help for Heroes Challenges. We are always on the lookout for experienced musicians and so we invited Andrew to join us on our H4H Jubilee Challenge – a trek to light a beacon at the summit of Ben Nevis to celebrate the Queens Diamond Jubilee. Our team of fundraisers were delighted that Andrew was able to join us, he was very easy going and friendly, and everyone commented on how fantastic his impromptu performances were as they trekked up the mountain. He was even happy to perform requests for the passing general public! As the sun was beginning to set, several trekkers were becoming fatigued and starting to slow down. They were delighted to hear Andrew piping from just over the hill; it spurred everyone on and put them in great spirits to reach the summit. Once at the top, Andrew piped while the beacon was being lit – it was a truly spectacular moment which no-one at the summit will ever forget. Andrew is clearly very passionate about his work and this shines through when you watch him perform. We would be delighted to invite him to any other Help for Heroes events in the future. "

"Peter was the bagpiper for the Guild of International Professional Toastmasters Burns Supper at Cambridge Belfry Hotel on January 18th. He played a fantastic medley of the songs of Robert Burns prior to the supper and a fantastic version of “A Man’s a Man for a that “ while piping in the Haggis. Peter stayed beyond his booking time to entertain the guests with some really fantastic piping. He was a real essential edition to a splendid evening."
