Gordon was an outstanding addition to our Burns Night at Malden Golf Club. We received countless compliments about the evening, and his talent, reliability, and great sense of fun which played a huge part in its success. He brought fantastic energy to the event, and even stayed to participate in the Ceilidh Band dances. He truly embodied the Malden spirit. Our members and staff found him a joy to work with, and we’d be thrilled to welcome him back next year. Highly recommended. 5 Stars isn't enough! Thank You Gordon.

Booked for Wedding

Robin was our piper at our wedding at Loch Lomond on 16.10.21. He was amazing and I couldn't thank him enough from start to finish. He would keep in touch and make sure all arrangements were in place. He made it so easy to get to know us and help us choose songs. So helpful when planning a wedding. He made everything fall into place on our special day. He was pleasant, polite, punctual and of course an amazing Piper. I would definitely recommend robin for any function in the future. Thanks again robin and take care Jenny and Bruce
