Matthew was a super star from beginning to end. So helpful before and during our wedding. Nothing was a problem for Matthew. A superb pipe player. We would have no hesitation in recommending Matthew he is by far the best piper I have come across. Ourselves and our guests all agreed that Matthew was nothing short of brilliant!

After finding out Matthew was available to play for us at our wedding, his communication was first class. So helpful with the planning and his ability to adapt to our ever changing needs was very much appreciated. We asked Matthew to play us out of the church but we wanted it to be a surprise for all of our guests. Matthew arrived and set up far enough away from our church that no one would hear him and then crept into place at the back so quietly that even i didn't realise he was there. Matthew then played us out right on queue and proceeded to play the most beautiful selection of songs whilst we mingled with our guests and enjoyed the first moments of being married. I am still waiting for our wedding photos but will check back once received to upload a few. I honestly could not recommend Matthew highly enough. Thank you so so much!!

Matthew was brilliant from beginning to end, the music was impeccable and small touches amazing, outfit was stop on traditional and my mums face when she heard the first note made you worth every penny, thank you for playing along with the surprise. You honestly added the touch of Scottish I need to honour my history!

Matthew responded quickly to initial request for quote to play a burial and Thanksgiving service. He arrived in plenty of time, was polite and courteous. He played exactly the right type of music to suit the occasion, both when walking through the woods to the natural burial site and later in the day outside the church. He continued to play even when the heavens opened and it poured with rain. His presence and music added just the right touch to the burial and thanksgiving service. We were delighted with his performance and would highly recommend him to anyone for a similar occasion.
