Our bagpiper was brilliant, really made the event. Communication was excellent in the run up to the event, we couldn't have asked for more. It was everything we wanted and really made our day that bit more special. Thank you so much
Cameron was fantastic and a very lovely gentleman. He was asking if we had any Pacific tunes and every one he played he was giving us a brief description on what it meant. Thank you so much
Absolutely amazing highly recommend
Mr. Edgar made what was an upsetting experience, into one that made everyone stop and remember my father-in-law, as he would have so enjoyed the music of Mr. Edgar's pipes. He was extremely respectful at all times, and his music and attitude, put a smile on people's faces, even in this unfortunate event. I would like to thank Cameron Edgar for his fully professional appearance at our families bereavement.
Excellent service!
He was a consummate professional and very sensitive to our needs.

Cameron was brilliant, he attended my Dads funeral to Pipe Dad into the service and played at the end of the service.
