Booked for Wedding

I hired Andrew on behalf of my mum to play at a family wedding as a gift. My mum wished a touch of Scotland at the wedding as the Bride (living in London) had Scottish roots and Andrew done exactly that. It was a really special part of the day! From the first stage of booking until the wedding the communication was great and made this stress free. Thanks again Andrew!

Andy was amazing. He played beautifully for my Dad’s funeral. He helped me through the planning of the event and I felt confident on the day all would go to plan with Andy there representing the family. And it did. Exactly the peace of mind you need at such an important event. Andy is a true professional. Thank you so much. 🙏🏻
