"My Mum's funeral service had to be shortened to 20 minutes, the attendees were limited, masked and sat apart - I still wanted to make the occasion a celebration of her life, memorable and significant and I'm so thankful for Andrew's involvement - without his impeccable performance and grand appearance there would have been no ceremony or gravitas to proceedings. Everyone commented on how good he was and I know my Mum would have loved how clearly and soulfully he played- the three pieces were all beautiful. Andrew was friendly, helpful and easy to deal with- going out of his way to accommodate my requests, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for any occasion. (10 / 10) Fiona"

"Johnny provided a beautiful backdrop for my father’s internment. He responded quickly and was very helpful in helping us pick music. On the day of the funeral he was in contact throughout the day. He showed up early in full regalia and was a calm, stoic presence for the entire event. The music -especially the walk off at the end - gave everyone several moments of quiet reflection that I will always cherish. My dad would have loved it. Cannot recommend highly enough."

"Dear Cameron, Thank you so much for playing at my dad’s funeral. As a Scotsman he would have loved every second of it and I’m sure he was watching. We will recommend you to anyone requiring a piper and you really were fantastic. "

"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."

"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."

"Good afternoon Major Dirk, I can’t thank you enough for your wonderful music performance. You are truly a brilliant Piper! At the grave the family was crying that you’d played so amazingly & that Peter Protoulis must have smiled joyfully having you play at the funeral. I’ll be keeping your details & hopefully we have a celebration for you to play at but will also recommend you to everyone who asks me about the best Piper. Many thanks Dirk…Being born in Edinburgh & having attended several Military Tattoos, I rate you as the best solo Piper I’ve heard! Warm regards, Lisa"

"My gift to my Grandma on My Wedding Day ❤️ We found Andrew by a gentleman named Troy who had made a kilt for my grandma. I expressed I wished I knew or could find a piper as it would have been a wonderful thank you to her for all she had done for us. Troy very quickly said I know someone an gave us Andrews details to which we are so greatful for! Once I email and we had a response to say Andrew was free the excitement I felt was like a child at Christmas! A finishing touch was when Andrew said he had a collection of tartan kilts to which we chose one to which related to my grandmas clan tartan. Andrew played utterly beautifully before and after the service and my guests where in awe as where we! Such a gentleman and amazing with what he does and playing we would 1000000% recommend Andrew! Thank you so much for helping us create a magical moment on our special day! Chloe and Liam x"

"Matthew McRae was kind enough to do a studio session for us. He was very well prepared and a pleasure to work with. Most importantly the bagpipes sounded great! We would definitely use Matthew again."

"Just to say thank you for playing at our wedding recently. It added something different for the guests and everyone has said how much they enjoyed hearing the bag pipes. Of course it was traditional for myself and my family but you made my mother and father's day! I was born in Scotland but moved to Wales when I was 5, my father never wanted me to forget my roots so he would play pipe music on our old record player. Many thanks again and I wish you all the best Sarah "

"We were absolutely blown away by our violinist, Julian, at my daughter’s wedding. The music created such a magical atmosphere from the ceremony to the reception. Every song was played beautifully and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much it elevated the day. Professional, talented, and truly gifted, having him perform was one of the best decisions we made. He didn’t just play music he created memories we will treasure forever. "
