"Johnny was amazing! Kind, informative and professional. He was prompt, reasonably priced and such a talented piper. He played in the cold, wet snow/rain and sounded beautifully. My Dad's service felt complete thanks to Johnny and the calming peace his bagpipes brought. Would recommend him to anyone!"

"My family enjoyed the pleasure of having Johnny play at my mom & dads graveside service! I wanted to surprise my siblings and have Johnny start playing on 👍 The service was running late because we were waiting for my nephew driving in from MT and so Johnny had to leave twice to go to a nearby park to retune his pipes. My brother gave the opening prayer and then I spoke for a minute and then motioned for Johnny to start playing 👍 He began with “how great thou art” as he walked over to the graveside and everyone was touched to tears. 😢 The he played “Amazing Grace” at the headstone! Then after some family members spoke, he played a request for my dads birthday of “Danny Boy” and I know my mom loved Hallelujah but it wasn’t on his list and so I asked him if he could try it. It was short notice only a few days and Johnny nailed it!! It was a very special tribute and send off to our mom & dad and Johnny did a beautiful job and I won’t hesitate to recommend him for any family funeral!! It was perfect 👍 Thank You Johnny, from the bottom of my heart ❤️"

"The last couple of years we had the pleasure of having the Scottish musician Bob Ferguson on stage. He is a great performer. With Bob in the house, you're sure of having an entertaining afternoon or evening. And the music he's playing is diverse. Scottish and Irish folk, but also songs made by himself. We knew Bob already from concerts he played in our folkclub with Beggars Row and Celtic Hearts. But his solo concerts are also from high quality. So whenever you have the chance to get him on stage in your folkclub, bar or festival.....?! Book this guy! "

"We had a great time last night. We had Me & jiggs play at our going away party' and what a night to remember. We had a barbeque in the yard' .. the band came out to play an acoustic set of traditional tunes' ..all the young children gathered in a circle and danced to their hearts content. After about a half hour the band went inside where they had already set up for the performance .it was lively and there was something to suit everyone. The band had their own lights which brought the venue to life. It was unforgetable' we both really enjoyed it as did all of our friends. "

"Dorothy played at our wedding ceremony at Marylebone Town Hall a few weeks ago and made it extremely special for us.. She was such a dream to work with, so accommodating from start to finish, and so kind. She played all our requested songs so beautifully. Even our guests all commented on how amazing she was! Thank you so much Dorothy <3 I’ll never forget hearing you play Canon in D."

"So many positive things to say about Johnny and his service. He responded quickly. His communication was thorough, timely, and clear. Very accommodating. Very gracious to be a part of my father’s funeral services. He is highly talented. His music was beautiful. It added the touch to our services that made it extra special. Thanks Johnny. Highly recommended."

"Before our mother passed, her wish was to have a bagpiper play Amazing Grace. Johnny did so much more! As we arrived at the cemetery, he was playing hymns at a little distance. As the pallbearers brought the casket to the graveside, he played her favorite Amazing Grace, and following the dedication of the grave, he played Going Home. Johnny explained to me earlier about the Celtic belief that the soul would stay with the body until after the service, the soul would be led away by the bagpiper to Go home. It was all beautiful and respectful abd would have made my mother very happy. The family was very pleased. My husband (who has no Scottish Ancestors) said afterward that he would like a bagpiper for his burial! Thank you so much for helping to make a difficult day an uplifting experience."

We enjoyed the musical diversity of their programme and their skills on the different instruments - that was a WOW and really contributed to an outstanding evening of entertainment! Lovely banter too! Highly recommended. Many thanks to all involved."

"Johnny Miner was an exceptional choice for my father’s funeral. From the very beginning, coordinating with him was easy and reassuring. He offered insightful advice and thoughtful guidance that clearly came from many years of experience, which was invaluable during such a difficult time. He also provided a wonderful selection of songs to choose from, helping us select music that felt personal and meaningful for the service. His talent on the bagpipes is truly remarkable. The music he played was powerful, moving, and deeply meaningful, creating a moment that honored my father beautifully and left a lasting impression on everyone present. Beyond his musical skill, Johnny carried himself with great dignity and professionalism, which added to the solemnity and respect of the service. I am profoundly grateful for his contribution and would highly recommend Johnny Miner to anyone seeking a bagpiper who combines exceptional talent with compassion, experience, and grace."
