Booked for Funeral

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.

Robin piped for our wedding day at the Bothy in Glasgow. We couldn't have asked for more, the music was brilliant and added a real traditional touch to our Scottish/French wedding. Robin played for our guest's arrival and after the ceremony. Robin is very professional, friendly and always reachable at short notice. Would happily recommend. 10/10!
