"When I was booking Andrew for my mother's funeral, he gave me a lot of details about the different points at which he could play the pipes, specfically Highland Cathedral. He was extremely helpful, polite and patient with me. I had to discuss and agree the idea of having a piper, with family, the vicar and also the funeral director - the latter heard that I had found Andrew Brian and he told me to book him immediately. It transpires that they had met each other at a previous funeral. So, for me that was endorsement enough. Andrew was marvellous and turned a sad day into something rather fitting and beautiful. I am so grateful. (10 / 10) Nick Watkins"

"Andrew was playing when I arrived with my father in the morning to the wedding ceremony. He looked stunning in his full dress and bear skin. He piped me and my father into the ceremony to my favourite piece of music, Highland Cathedral. He seemed to play non stop and every single guest commented on the atmospheric music throughout the arrival drinks reception. Andrew played outside whilst we had photographs taken and when the time came, played my husband and I into our wedding breakfast. He was completely amazing and a joy to speak with. He helped make our wedding day so special and we simply can't thank him enough."

"We were privileged enough to have John play at our son’s one year death anniversary memorial. John has an amazing talent and his professionalism and flexibility in accommodating our time and place were above and beyond all expectations. The music is so beautiful and mesmerizing and we look forward to having John, his kilt, and his bagpipes join us in the future to mark some of our most treasured moments. He puts heart and soul into his performances and it shows."

"Johnny played at my father’s graveside funeral and did a really phenomenal job. He was extremely professional and communication was excellent. He tailored the songs to exactly what we were looking for and his bagpipe music set a beautiful tone for the service. I couldn’t be happier. Don’t hesitate if you’re looking for bagpipe music for your event."

"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."

"We had a fabulous time listening & dancing to Victors tunes. He was so accommodating that he looked up some songs that are near and dear to my family‘s hearts and he played them just as he said he would. He was on time and very professional. I would definitely recommend Hampton Pipes & Drums."

"Just an email to say thank you for our wedding day. The music was wonderful and you looked amazing. Ian loved it all. I went a little faint just before the service so didn’t get to speak to you before it and was a little nervy on the walk up the aisle but your playing the pipes got me through it. Thank you again."

"Hi Keith I didn’t get chance to personally thank you yesterday. But I wanted to say I was blown away with the songs you played. You are an incredible talent to your industry. I had goose bumps the whole time you played and I know my late father would have felt the same. He had no ties to Scotland but the bagpipes were always the most beautiful sound to him. He was always in awe of the skill required in playing and the dedication it took to learn and gave credit to anyone for learning to become the best. I will be forever grateful to you for honouring my father with your talent so poignantly for us With Kindest Regards Clare"

"Amazing performer and great musician Stephen Wilkinson is one of the most amazing bagpipers that I have ever had the great pleasure to listen to. He made our graduation all that more special. Bringing the audience to tears with amazing grace during our fallen hero salute was breathtaking. We will be using Mr. Wilkinson for many many years to come."
