Booked for Birthday party

Iain came and played for us as a Birthday surprise last week and was absolutely amazing! Not only is he a great musician but also a lovely guy and took the time to explain how the bagpipes work to our group. Super easy to book with him and great communication throughout the process. Wouldn't hesitate to book again!

Gary was very professional, he sounded great and was great to work with. We changed the set list a bit and he was able to accommodate that with great ease. He was a great addition to our wedding and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a piper!

Booked for Birthday party

For the first time since we started hosting the event members of molten theater attending for the Burns night dinner were greeted on arrival with a real live piper. It was the formal entrance of the haggis proceeded by the piper that set the scene and saw ceremonies commence. All thanks to Michelle for providing the wonderful extra that all members judged best event ever.
