"I believe it was a tender mercy I was able to connect with Johnny, the bagpiper, at the passing of our mom. He was compassionate, professional, and created a musical selection that helped convey our feelings of sorrow and loss to reverence and respect as we said our final goodbyes to our beautiful mother. His inspiring bagpipe music helped us connect memories old and new and made the graveside service feel more personal, spiritual, and meaningful. We are forever grateful for the comfort his talents gave to our family and friends. It was the special touch our family needed to say "fare thee well" dear mom, until we meet again. I would highly recommend Johnny for any service or function."

"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!"

"Hi Cameron, Thank you very much for your piping at the funeral of my son yesterday. You were excellent and thank you for wearing the full military No. 1 uniform with feather bonnet. You did a wonderful job and it made the funeral. I’m sorry I didn’t really get the chance to have a chat with you but I wanted to say a big thanks. Thank you Cameron. "

"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."

"An accomplished and excellent piper who has played at our Burns Night celebrations for the past four years. Keith is a true professional and brings the guests together for a wonderful evening of poetry and traditional Scottish fare. Thank you Keith and looking forward to your return to us."

"Johnny is a fabulous piper! I hired him as a surprise for my husband's 70th Birthday party event at The Mercantile Restaurant in Midway. He played a great selection of songs, took pictures with us and finished with Happy Birthday. He is an excellent communicator, was on time, very professional and more than willing to accommodate our needs. The whole family (40 in all) was dazzled by his performance and is still talking about it! I highly recommend Johnny! It was a night to remember. Thank you!"

"Johnny was amazing at my FIL services. He helped my MIL with the hardest choices in her life trying to pick music and helping with an Irish funeral and burial. He was professional and empathetic to the situation, and he was very well priced. If you need a bagpiper for one of your events, please consider Johnny. He is exceptional, and loves being able to play for people!"

"We loved having Johnny Miner play the bagpipes at our family Highland Games. He took time to tell us more about the different pipes and played our song requests. Would absolutely hire him again!"

"My wife contacted Johnny to come and play at my surprise military, Navy, retirement. Johnny was amazingly accommodating! He played the bagpipes and visited with us for much longer than we had set up. He made it a very relaxed engaging event. He spoke with us and did a little presentation off the cuff at my wife’s request. I would highly recommend him. His appearance was impeccable his manners were top notch and the music was exceptional."

"Michael was the best decision we could have made for the wedding! His communication was incredible. He helped us think through things that we hadn't even considered and really made the schedule as smooth as could be. He was able to accommodate for our ceremony that did not have a power source. We even had our generator go out during the reception and he didn't hesitate to keep the vibe going. He started up his battery powered speakers and many guests didn't even realize the power was out. Michael was on board with our creative song choices and made them crowd pleasers. Majority of our guests complimented the DJ choice because we had the best dance floor ever. Thank you Michael for everything!!!!!"
