Andy was amazing. He played beautifully for my Dad’s funeral. He helped me through the planning of the event and I felt confident on the day all would go to plan with Andy there representing the family. And it did. Exactly the peace of mind you need at such an important event. Andy is a true professional. Thank you so much. 🙏🏻

Hired John for my mums funeral. He is so professional. He contacted myself and the funeral home before hand. Made suggestions for a better experience and he not only brought tears to everyone’s eyes but he sounded fantastic. I would highly recommend John to add that Scottish experience to any event.

I hired coming for my proposal to my partner….. I can not thank Colin enough! He was not only super responsive but he was helpful with choosing a song and did everything I asked for!! He also looked very smart and well kept with his traditional Scottish attire. He plays the bag pipes so beautifully and I made the right decision hiring him to help make my occasion even more special! Thank you again Colin!!

Linda Rafuse (Nova Scotia, Canada)9 May 2019
Robin played for our son and fiance's wedding at St. Anthony's Chapel Ruins, Holyrood Park, Edinburgh. His presence and his music completed the whole ceremony. Robin is such a lovely man, very sociable and kind. He piped Evan and Lindsay up the path to the ruins, and of course, piped her in to her waiting groom as the ceremony began. Robin was very punctual arriving in plenty of time for the wedding. His hiring was very easy to arrange as he was very punctual in responding to all emails. I would highly recommend this wonderful Bagpiper, Robin Hay and would definitely hire again if we ever had another event in Edinburgh.

"I cannot recommend Ivan enough, from the moment I contacted him he was fabulous. I booked him for a funeral. He was respectful and very professional at all times. He was flexible with our music choices and most importantly played the most wonderful pipe music."
