"Johnny made the reunion with my missionary parents returning from Scotland one for the ages. An already emotional experience was all the sweeter with the sound of Scotland the Brave echoing through the airport as they were swarmed by a few dozen grandkids followed by warm embraces from my siblings and me. I would recommend him for any occasion where you need his special talent."

"Johnny played the bagpipes for my dad’s funeral. He was so professional and kind through our entire interaction. He did a beautiful job at the graveside service. It was the perfect touch and added so much to our day. My dad would have loved it! I highly recommend Johnny. He will definitely add something special to any occasion!"

"Highly recommend Stevie. He played at my Dad's funeral and was fantastic. The music he played gave my Dad the best send off. He went over and above with what he did and was really professional. Thank you so much."

"If you are looking for a unique, diverse musical sound for an occasion, then book The Achill Lads. They are exceptionally talented musicians with style/genres ranging from traditional Irish/occasion/church music, piping, folk and singing. The variety of instruments they can play is astonishing! Their professionalism is second to none and I have been lucky to perform with them throughout the years. We were very honoured to have them perform at our Wedding last year and they were amazing! A huge thank you again to Cian and Michael! Acaill abú!"

"Johnny Was a delight to work with. He was prompt and professional during our correspondence. I requested two songs and asked him to choose other songs he felt was appropriate. He did a tremendous job. I would highly recommend."

"Highly recommend Michael Lavelle, Achill Piper. He played for my brother's funeral in Galway. Came from Achill and was at the church to greet us with the beautiful selections. Our friends and relatives from the States were very impressed by his beautiful music and outfit. My brother would be very proud as he loved the pipes. Thank you, Michael. I highly recommend his piping."

"Brock and Toni were absolutely wonderful. Our wedding guests arrived to the heart warming sounds of Brock and Toni playing an amazing Wedding Tune! It was deeply moving and spirit felt by all. Toni's welcoming smile and gentle calming spirit was present on the phone, texts and day of. She helped out on so many levels! What a great way to set the tone for our daughter's wedding. The professionalism, talent and fun personalities of this couple will never be forgotten. We were truly blessed to have found them, and I recommend them wholeheartedly and without reservation.

"Absolutely excellent. With minimum instructions did everything we wanted and more. Really lovely at the end how he marched off playing the pipes. Very poignant. Arrived everywhere he needed to be prepared and ready. Really couldn't have been better. The last thing you need is to be stressing at a funeral and to have someone know exactly what they are doing and when to do it was a god send. Was really lovely performance. My mum would have loved it. (10 / 10) Calvin"

"I wish I could give John 10 stars! Planning a funeral is hard and stressful, but working with John was not. He responded quickly and gave great suggestions for how he could make the service even more meaningful. There was a small hiccup where I didn’t communicate correctly what the family wanted, but in the moment he jumped in and made it happen. I wish I had the words to explain how great working with him was, just hire him and you won’t be disappointed!!"

"Iain was very professional and his performance was excellent. He arrived early, was dressed and unfazed by the rain and wind, and did exactly what I had in mind. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to hire a bag piper."

"Andy was amazing. He played beautifully for my Dad’s funeral. He helped me through the planning of the event and I felt confident on the day all would go to plan with Andy there representing the family. And it did. Exactly the peace of mind you need at such an important event. Andy is a true professional. Thank you so much. 🙏🏻"

"Hands-down, Simon is possibly the finest piper I have ever booked for a funeral service. Not only is he an excellent piper, he is also reliable, immaculately turned out and a pleasure to deal with and he is our first choice for a funeral piper in Herefordshire."
