"Great Review from the Fabulous Derek Burke ??? Andrew Coates Music has been a pleasure to work with from start to finish. It was my first time working with Andrew and his Team and they were just fantastic. Everything they had arranged was exactly as they said it would be and better. Also a huge thanks to Patricia and Ma Nolan’s. A 5 out for 5 star rating from me all around ?"

"We would like to thank you so very much for the tremendous set you performed for us all on Saturday night; it exceeded all of our expectations! Right from the word go, your professionalism and enthusiasm shone through, with both of you demonstrating superb musicianship combined with the excellent calling skills of Anna who got everyone up on their feet for the whole night! It gave all of us all an amazing evening to remember all our lives and greatly contributed to the success of the wedding as a whole. So thanks again and we will certainly bear you in mind if we have any other events coming up in the future!"

"Johnny played bagpipes for my dads funeral service. He was so professional and compassionate. There was a mix up with another group that should have been there but couldn’t make it, and Johnny was quick to volunteer to step in and fill the gap. His music is beautiful and his skill and knowledge of tradition is top notch. He was easy to communicate and schedule with. I highly recommend him for any event."

"Johnny was so awesome to work with. I didn’t give him much notice, but he worked with my schedule and the surprise I wanted to plan for my Grandma. His performance was stellar! He is so friendly and a great performer. Every song he played was fantastic, and he played the songs I requested phenomenally. Look no further- Johnny is your guy. I can’t recommend him enough. :)"

"Johnny is such a gift. He provided an amazing service to my family by playing bagpipes at both my sister’s and my father in law’s graveside services. I can’t say enough how graceful we are for playing. Thank you!"

"On Saturday 16 September 2023, we celebrated our 116th birthday. We had heard good things about Bob Ferguson from others, so we decided to have him round off a great day with 3 hours of superb entertainment. It was an unforgettable evening, Bob really manages to hit his audience, and the atmosphere was instantly top notch. Bob got everyone involved, and there was dancing and singing along to the big gold medal. And the best recommendation you can get is that we have hired Bob Ferguson again for a good and pleasant day/evening in March 2024."

"Had Gregor come up and MC and DJ our small wedding in Glencoe this month and he didn’t disappoint. Not even the floods that brought the country to its knees could stop him getting there. The background tunes throughout the day were on point with our laid back vibe but when it came time to party he brought the energy we were chasing, it’s why we wanted him in the first place! He called a perfect little ceilidh for us and had the dance floor full all night with banger after banger, helping show the Aussie half that the Scot’s know how to party.Chatting away to the guests, venue staff and other vendors throughout he fitted in perfect as part of our day. He turns up, sets up and does his thing, taking the pressure off us with one less thing to worry about. Would definitely recommend 👍🏻"

"Abigail was honestly the best addition to our day, our guests loved being seated whilst listening to her and throughout our ceremony and wedding breakfast she was truly phenomenal. I could listen to her for hours, as could our guests. She is the most accommodating, talented and kind person and we are indebted to her and her beautiful violin. Thank you so much!"

"We were very fortunate to have the lads at our day 2 bbq. They were so quick to reply and were very understanding when we needed a later start at short notice. They were truly fantastic and really friendly. Everyone really enjoyed the music the time just flew by. They really set the tone for the rest of the night. Natalie & Derek Cabra Castle Hotel"

"Johnny played at the graveside for my mom’s funeral, and he did an absolutely wonderful job. As soon as I requested a quote I receive a message and a phone call. He provided a lot of helpful information up front and was very professional. He was kind and caring throughout the process, and was always quick to respond. The performance was amazing! We could tell he was refined in his skills and everyone enjoyed the music and the emotion he brought to it. We even asked him to play a few more songs while our family did a small activity and he was more than willing to do it. So wonderful!"
