Great experience booking 2 different types of entertainment for my daughter’s wedding. The piper Millie played excellently at the church & then Rhianna Rea sang lots of old Hits that got everyone dancing. So easy to use & lots of choice of entertainment what an easy site to book from.

Robin was fantastic from start to finish. He communicated well and helped guide us with our choice of music. He was very flexible with the ever changing Covid restrictions. His piping was superb and really added to the feel of the whole day. Would highly recommend Robin for any event or wedding.

Booked for Funeral

Andrew played at the funeral of my uncle. He was amazing. So helpful when advising me on songs and when to play etc. Travelling a distance to be there, he was punctual and knew exactly what to do. It was very moving. Thank you Andrew.

We asked Linda to play at my Dad’s Funeral and we 100% chose the right person for the job. She is a lovely lady, very warm and easy to talk to. She kept great contact with us from beginning to end, and was extremely professional at the same time as being very compassionate. Linda confidentiality lead the Hearse for us and played whilst we carried my Dad into the Chapel. Her performance was flawless, very powerful and and sincere. We could not have asked for a better send off for my Dad. We are extremely grateful to Linda for the part she played in making my Dad‘s day exactly what he’d have loved. Would recommend Linda 100% and should we, or anyone we know need a piper in the future, we will go to Linda. Thank you.

Booked for Wedding

"Ivan was absolutely wonderful. He made my son's wedding so very extra special. We did not tell any of the guests he was coming. The first they knew was when they heard the sound of the bagpipes outside, he walked down the aisle playing ""Flower of Scotland"", it brought a tear to many an eye. He then proceeded to play the Wedding anthem whilst the bridesmaids and bride walked down the aisle. He was very accommodating and extremely friendly. He stayed to allow the photographer and any guests to have photos with him and even played extra tunes whilst standing alone on the beach of Whitstable. Thank you so much Ivan for making the wedding even more magical!"
