Malcolm was amazing everything and more on time played songs requested was loved by all our guests young and mature thank you malcolm for making Mum & Dads Diamond wedding Anniversary so special xxx

Scott McPhail6 Sep 2019

It was very easy to give David a full 5 star ranking! From our initial contact with him through to his performance on our wedding day David was courteous and professional, we simply could not have asked for more from him. On the day itself his wonderful pipe playing, amazing full highland dress and warm personality made him a huge hit with our guests! We also really appreciated his going the extra mile with individual touches such as a Gaelic toast, Selkirk grace and even a greeting in Punjabi!! If you are looking for a piper for your wedding or other event we're confident you would never regret booking David.

Aileen Davis31 May 2019

Andy was fantastic! Easy to communicate with prior to our wedding, arrived on time in his full attire and played some wonderful tunes as the guests arrived at the church! He then piped me to the entrance of the church playing Highland Cathedral. All the guests loved it too. Thank you so much Andy!!
