Dear George

First of all we need to apologise - I can’t believe you came to a Scottish home and we didn’t even offer you a cup of tea or a glass of diluting juice - we are sooo very sorry - me the birthday girl was completely overwhelmed!!!

Secondly

wowwwwww you were fantastic - it was a huge surprise for me - a unique birthday present from my family - felt completely overwhelmed and home sick hearing Oh Flower of Scotland

Thank you very much for starting my birthday day off with a nostalgic bang - it was fantastic

Thank you

And sorry again for not offering you a drink very bad form from a Scottish household xxxx

George was AMAZING! It was the best surprise for my Mother in Law's 60th birthday weekend away! George kept in touch leading up to the event. He was very accommodating and was amazing with the littlies, letting them look at the bagpipes and have a little blow! Would absolutely recommend George! Thank you again 😊

George came to play at my Wee Scottish Granny's funeral, it was so, so much more than we could have ever imagined it to have been. Gran was the centre of our world and we wanted her funeral to be everything that she deserved, it was just that and more! George was beyond incredible, he piped the hearse up to the crematorium and then piped her into the crematorium, he then stood at the front whilst we all walked in, performed half way through and at the end of the service. Her elderly brother who couldn't make the funeral was able to watch online and said he had never seen anything like it. He turned a really sad occasion into a really beautiful one instead. He was so professional, lovely and graceful. I just couldn't recommend him more. Thankyou so much George!
