"Ok, me and my family truly value our culture. Unfortunately the uncles and Dad's have passed on that play the pipes. I've used Johnny twice now for a celebration for life and my nephews wedding over the weekend. He knocked out our of the park every time. It's funny, everyone wants his number for events etc even if they aren't scottish lol. HIGHLY RECOMMEND coming from a very deep Scottish culture. God Bless you Johnny and the family's that get to experience your talent."

"From first contact Andrew was very professional, he helped in identifying the right tunes for our sad occasion. Communication throughout the booking was second to none. On the day Andrew turned up with plenty of time to discuss the arrangements, he was very smartly dressed in full uniform. Andrew stayed behind to chat with all those that were inquisitive and answered any questions with dignity and great knowledge. I have no hesitation in recommending Andew. (10 / 10) Paddy Feenan"

"During the planning of my fathers funeral I realized that I didn't call to book someone to play , in a panic that it was too late I found the Hampton Pipes website. Very shortly after I received a called from Victor. Immediately when is spoke to him I knew he was professional and caring that he was the right person for this special job. He did a great job played all the songs that we discussed and really made the day special. I know my Dad was smiling from heaven. Thank you Victor!"

"When I called Andy to first enquire about playing at my grandfathers funeral he was very professional, kind and helpful. We arranged for him to play and he was quick to book us in. Me and my family also asked if he new of a drummer to also play alongside him which he did and sorted this all out for us, we were so grateful! On the day of the funeral everything went as planned and Andy did everything we wanted perfectly! He played just beautifully, my grandfather would be extremely proud and would of most definitely cried hearing the beautiful music being played, he was a very proud Scotsman! Thanks again Andy you made our day so special for a wonderful send off for our hero John! (10 / 10) Lauren"

Thank you so very much! I can't wait to come to Dunedin, Florida and perform at the scottish island games. The 2025 World Pipe Band Championships, the Grade 2 winner was City of Dunedin Pipe Band, congratulations and good luck to them. Now that they are going to be going back this year to compete in grade one...good luck!

"Kevin has been a band instructor for the Sutherland Pipe Band for many years, guiding us through every stage of our band’s lifecycle. He played a crucial role in developing and retaining members when we had just a few players, and he continued to support our improvement as we grew and returned to band competition. Whether you're learning tunes, preparing for a parade or contest, or simply trying to improve your playing, Kevin can help. He is an expert player and teacher for all aspects of piping, including instrument setup, tuning, expression, musicality, deportment, unison, and ensemble. More importantly, while Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and competent, he is equally personable and patient. Every pipe band and piper could benefit from Kevin’s instruction, and he would be my top choice for any event where a piper is needed."

"Andrew played the bagpipes at my dads funeral, playing him out of his street into the the crematorium grounds then as he went inside the crematorium & then at the end when we came out. Songs included Flower of Scotland, Skye boat song, Amazing Grace, Auld Lang Syne. Andrew was amazing from his first contact until leaving us after the service, he was courteous, respectful & very professional. He also looked fabulous. Everyone said that his playing was incredible. We cannot thank him enough & would thoroughly recommend him to everyone looking for a piper. Rating Field: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

"Johnny was so wonderful. He rearranged his entire schedule so he could play at my mother's graveside service. It really completed it. He was so wonderful, after the service he played for ay least 15 more minutes so we could just enjoy it. It really made it special, it was something my mom had always wanted. After the service everyone was so impressed and said that having the bagpipes there really completed it. I can't thank Johnny enough for all he did that day."

"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!"

"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."
