Mike played at my mother's funeral and I must say although it was a sad and emotional day he was absolutely fantastic. Even one of the funeral pull bearers cried and everyone said it was one of the most emotionally charged funerals they had been to which in part was due to Mike. A huge thank you from all our family.

"We hired Mike for our son and daughter in laws wedding celebration on New Year's Eve. From the initial contact to the night of the event, Mike was always easy to contact which meant the evening was really easy to organise. Mike was immaculately turned out and his pipe playing first class. He played a large selection of tunes and to top it all he piped the bride and groom into the main hall which was truly fantastic. Mike stayed on to have photo after photo taken with all the guests. A real gentleman. I would highly recommend Mike to play at any given function. Thanks for making a great night even more special.
