Andrew was the absolute best, he was very friendly and accommodating. His set was amazing and made my event very special. Will definitely be trying to hire Andrew again whenever I need a paper :)

Sarah Rogerson17 Oct 2022

Booked for Wedding

Dear Robin Thank you so much for all your wonderful piping on Saturday! Everyone really enjoyed it and apparently it created a fantastic atmosphere in the Church before the service. You might not have realised that - but they all adored it. I'm sorry it rained on you though and also that Maddi didn't get a photo with you. Thank you also for your flexibility in staying for the service and giving them such a special send off. It would have felt very flat without your pipes filling the air. Very much appreciated. Best wishes Sarah

Booked for Funeral

Outstanding. Played for my mothers funeral on a cold, snowy day. Poor chap must have been freezing in his kilt. Was professional at all times and sounded amazing. My mum would have loved it!

Booked for Birthday party

We booked Linda for our mothers 70th birthday which unfortunately occurred during the Covid 19 pandemic. Linda rose to the occasion and played some lovely tunes in the middle of the street keeping to social distancing. It was well received and drew a crowd of at least 60 people out in the street from their homes to listen and applaud Linda’s bagpipe Melodies. Highly recommend

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
