"We had the joy of taking C-Boyz for our wedding, and they were excellent. They are well adapted to difficult conditions: capricious weather, delayed schedule as a result, ... And they created a magnificent atmosphere which delighted all the guests and especially us. Modern repertoire that had everyone spinning at the cocktail party."

"We hired John as a part of an evening event we put on for a high-profile client in Park City. He did exactly as we asked of him, and the guests enjoyed the music! I would recommend hiring John for any bagpiper needs."

"Ease of contact with Rock2Night and the right arrangement for the wedding. They performed as a trio at the ceremony (3 songs to choose from) and during the cocktail party, that is, they are quite versatile for what you want. The performance was very good as a result of the great quality they have, the friendliness and the ease they had at all times. The performance ended up lasting much longer than it was defined, and Rock2Night maintained a fantastic repertoire without the need to repeat songs. It was without a doubt one of the great successes of our wedding, the guests loved it and interacted a lot with the band. Great!"

"As my siblings and I were assisting our father with planning out his memorial services, he had requested bagpipes be played. I began searching Google for pipers in my area and found 4 different providers. I emailed each one individually and within minutes of sending those emails Johnny was calling my phone. The way Johnny interacted with me over the phone and spoke with so much reverence and respect for my father, someone Johnny had never met, won me over almost instantly. Johnny acknowledged his availability on the day of the memorial services and then helped walk me through different ideas and musical numbers during our chat, he provided his pricing and explained every single detail possible so that I was fully informed of my options. I took notes and explained I would reach out to him after the family had made a decision on who we would select. I only heard back from 2 additional providers and they both were more expensive than Johnny and offered the same services...Johnny kept in contact with me very professionally, he wasn't aggressive or pushy, he simply checked in and asked if I needed anything or had questions before we had made our decision. Once we had verified that we wanted Johnny to be our piper, he checked in with me daily a couple of days before the day of the memorial services and verified he was ready and honored to be involved. The day of service Johnny arrived early, looking extremely proper and professional in his attire. He performed 2 musical numbers for the service and did such an amazing job, it was absolutely beautiful and set the perfect tone for what we were trying to accomplish. I could not ask for a better experience. After the services concluded, Johnny joined us graveside to pay his respects for my father, expressed his condolences to me and my family and expressed his gratitude for being in attendance, and being able to perform. Johnny is a fantastic guy and possess top shelf musical talent. There is no way you could have a bad experience with this guy. I have every intention of finding other events that we can hire Johnny for, because he is that great. He knows his stuff and demonstrates extreme pride and professionalism in everything he does. Johnny - thank you again for everything! I look forward to seeing you again. Please know that I don't give 5 star reviews to anyone, I don't feel that it's fair. To get 5 stars leads us to believe we have reached perfection and we lose our motivation to improve, change and work hard. Your 4 star review from me means I am beyond pleased with you and your services, but I don't have any feedback on what you could have or can do better. But I encourage you to always be mindful and to take consideration of how you can improve, change or work harder, because that's how all of us become better. Stay safe and keep well! Cheers!"

"Talk about a professional! Johnny Miner was a Class A professional. We had him play at my brother's graveside services. He called ahead of time to get all the details. He explained he would play off in the distance while people gathering. Then as per requested he would play Amazing Grace. He offered to explain to those gathered that he would play Amazing Grace and then fade off into the distance as is the Celtic tradition of the spirit lingering and then fading away. The cemetery he played at was quite a ways away, so not only did he travel a long ways to get there, but he was early to the graveside services. Unfortunately one of our speakers got lost, so the service was delayed a considerable amount of time. However, Johnny continued to play in the hot sun with no complaint. The bagpipe playing was the highlight of the send off for my brother and was no doubt the highlight of the service. I was amazed how simple and quick it was to make the arrangements to have a bagpiper play at a funeral service. Johnny was dressed beautifully and enhanced a beautiful service. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to add the beautiful sound of bagpipes to any event. Hopefully in the future we will be able to invite him back for a more joyful event such as a wedding."

"Dawn Kelly & Neil Bailey are Magpie 22 and they released their single 'Cowboys and Indians’ on February 14th (iTunes, Amazon, Spotify etc). The song starts off quite atmospherically and then keeps this theme with a great story line so the lyrics are very important in this song and need to be listened to. Dawn’s voice is very strong and the music too is excellent making for a very expressive, enjoyable and memorable song and one that will no doubt evoke a few emotions. You can find out more about Dawn and Neil at their Facebook site."

"I had the pleasure of having Julian perform at my recent birthday party in Girona, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, he was fantastic—his vocals were impressive, and he kept the energy high throughout the night. Communication was excellent from the very beginning. Julian was responsive, professional, and made sure to understand exactly what we wanted for our event (especially on a playlist front). On the night, he delivered a great mix of acoustic songs and really engaged with our guests. What really set him apart was his willingness to go the extra mile. After his set, he kindly stayed later than planned so we could use his speakers for our own playlist, which made a huge difference to the party atmosphere. If you’re looking for a great singer who’s easy to work with and genuinely cares about making your event special, you won’t be disappointed with Julian. "
