"We were privileged enough to have John play at our son’s one year death anniversary memorial. John has an amazing talent and his professionalism and flexibility in accommodating our time and place were above and beyond all expectations. The music is so beautiful and mesmerizing and we look forward to having John, his kilt, and his bagpipes join us in the future to mark some of our most treasured moments. He puts heart and soul into his performances and it shows."

"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."

"Tom helped my family and i to remember my late father in Balmaha (8th March 2022). He made himself available for any questions/needs prior to the day. Even took a late request on the day. He arrived half an hour early and on time (as he said he would). Took time to firmiliarise himself with where he was going to play. The weather, unfortunately turned for the worse just before Tom was due to start playing. 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. I am deeply grateful for what he did and I highly recommend Tom. (10 / 10)"

"Johnny Miner played at my mother’s memorial service. He is so talented. He was very kind and patient when I was planning the service and helped me with the process. I will never forget him leading my mother’s casket to her final resting place. Thank you Johnny"

"Five Star Performers! It is a pleasure for me to write a review for the Celtic Bagpipe Team! They are an amazing duo, who are very professional, knowledgeable, punctual and fun to work with. They had a pivotal role during our university’s presidential inauguration, and they didn’t skip a beat. Amazing performance! My deepest gratitude, KLW"

"The Doolally clan are true folk music enthusiasts, Sean's deep knowledge and passion for Irish folk is inspiring, and when the three play together, they deliver a music full of emotion and energy. Thoroughly recommend!"

"Wow! We secured Stevie to pipe at our wedding just a couple of weeks before the big day after seeing him at our venues’s open day and we are so glad we did. He made all the difference to our wedding day. Stevie was a big hit with our guests and even took requests. He really added to the atmosphere and enjoyment. If you’re thinking of having a bagpiper, we couldn’t recommend Stevie enough! Thank you, Stevie Bagpipes. Andrew & Lilli."

"Johnny is simply incredible! I am an elementary school music teacher who came to him with a wild proposal to accompany my choir of 96 children on a Scottish folk song, The Skye Boat song. He met with my assistant directors and I to come up with a plan of how to coordinate the flow of the song and balance the vocals and the pipes. He is an amazing collaborator and had a lot of great ideas of how to make it come together. He came to one of our rehearsals and was so gracious and so kind with the students. They absolutely loved interacting with him! Our whole community was enchanted with him when he played for the concert and opened for us and then performed the number we had worked on together. He is a very eloquent and engaging speaker and a master at his instrument! He’s one of those people who is just a joy to work with and we look forward to collaborating with him again on future musical projects!"

Thank you so much Jason. I have never met such nice people. I was looked after beautifully, made new friends and can only say I hope this is an annual event. It was an absolute pleasure to be able to spend an evening with you and your guests in such a stunning location. May I take this opportunity to wish you and yours well and as we say in gaelic, Slaintè.
