Review Centre: Bagpipers

"Johnny Miner was absolutely exceptional. He played the bagpipes at my uncle’s funeral, and it could not have been more perfect. From the beginning, he was incredibly kind and thoughtful—he expressed his sincere condolences and took the time to understand exactly what our family wanted. He asked about specific songs we preferred and even provided a suggested outline for how his services could flow, which was very helpful during a difficult time. What stood out most was his flexibility and willingness to accommodate every detail. He made sure everything aligned with what my aunt wanted and adjusted seamlessly to meet her requests. His professionalism, timing, and presence added a deeply meaningful and respectful tone to the service. The music was beautiful and moving—exactly what we were hoping for. His pricing was also completely acceptable and fair, especially considering the quality of service and care he provided. I highly recommend Johnny to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate, and reliable bagpiper. I truly hope to have the opportunity to use his services again in the future for a more joyous occasion. Five stars all the way."

"Thank you so much. The piper was very friendly and chatty and made all the guests very happy and comfortable, and the piping very professional and delightful. My step daughter and her husband were delighted. "

"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."

"Fantastic, Fun, Festive & Part of the Family Brock and Toni are gems...they pour their hearts and souls into their performance. They came to my son's Confirmation brunch. They entered through the side gate, so amidst all the talking and laughing, our guests started to hear the glorious sound of bagpipes. He brought everyone to a halt and many to tears! It was such a surprise and it brought such a special feeling to the event. Brock and Toni are wonderful people, and now they are part of the family"

"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."

"Andrew was fantastic from our first phone conversation he basically arranged everything,all we had to do is pick the songs and what colour tartan. The day after my dads funeral my mum was receiving lots of phone calls to say how sad and wonderful the day was,and Andrew got a big mention in most of them conversations."

"I just wanted to thank you and Dougie very much for excellent work. It was a great events thanks to Dougie. We had about 1700 students who needed to get from McEwan hall to Appleton Tower and it would have been impossible to arrange it without such an excellent piper like Dougie. Thank you! Best wishes, Inga"

"We booked Tom to play at our Anniversary of our bar being open for 27 years and he was great. Very well dressed and arrived on time and played a mix of Irish tunes and Scottish tunes. Our clients loved him."

"I would like to say how brilliant you were at my friends dad’s funeral last week. We all said the music was so uplifting at a time that was very difficult. Thank you for going to so much effort for my dear friend Susie, it really meant the world to her & her family that you learnt the music that was given to you. If you are looking for someone who cares about the music you have asked for & will play it to a high standard, then please look no further. "

"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."

"Dear Andrew, we just wanted to thank you for your superb contribution and professionalism, throughout the funeral service and burial of Helen's dad yesterday at St John's Church, Hurst Green. Your excellent musicianship on the Pipes helped create a very special atmosphere, which has left a deep impression on everyone attending. We would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone considering a Piper for a special event. Thanks once again. (10 / 10) Mr and Mrs Chris Mcleod and Family"

"Johnny helped my family and I to remember my brother-in-law that died unexpectedly at his graveside service the day before Thanksgiving. He made himself available for any questions/needs prior to the day. Even took a late request on the day and made the service meaningful for those attending. He arrived half an hour early and on time (as he said he would). Took time to familiarize himself with where he was going to play. The weather, unfortunately turned unexpectedly cold however, that did not deter him. He showed his professionalism and respect for the moment at hand and played. The songs were played with love and passion and were simply beautiful. He is a true gentleman and a Scotsman at heart. I am deeply grateful for what he did and I highly recommend Johnny and his services. He even took time after all was done to let the kids enjoy a lesson in bagpiping."
