"Johnny exceeded expectations at my father’s celebration of life. It was a low-key backyard event and he was responsive, helpful and genuine during all of our conversations to figure it out. Everyone loved his performance and friendly energy. It made the celebration extra special. Highly recommend for all types of events!"

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.

"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."

"Jason came to pipe our primary 7 leavers our on their last day of school. He arrived in plenty of time (early infact!) and filled out every & any request we had. He really wanted to help us make this day special & one to remember for the kids. I’m so unbelievably grateful to Jason, and will most definitely use him again in the future!"

"Great repertoire for my son’s grave dedication. Beautifully timed music - exactly as we planned. Very experienced bagpiper and great to work with. He brought an exquisitely heavenly atmosphere to this sacred moment and was so genuinely respectful of the occasion. Excellent competitive rate."

"He played at our Uncles graveside service today as part of or uncles last wish to have bagpipes present during his Military honors. He was so kind and considerate of our families wishes and made sure to collaborate with the US Marines to make sure and honor their protocol as well. He communicated with me every step of the way as I have never had to hire a Bagpiper, and made the progress easy, especially during such a hard time. The service was flawless, and between him and the US Marines it all came together beautifully. Thank you. Our entire family is eternal grateful."

"Good morning David I just wanted to thank you for playing at my daughter’s wedding. I cannot thank you enough for adding the finishing touch to the wedding ceremony, it so complemented the Scottish roots of the family. I had so many complimentary comments said to me about lovely you were and that you looked splendid not to mention how much everybody enjoyed the pipes. May I just say again a very big thank you from all the family. "

"I wanted a special surprise for my wife's 60th birthday party. She's a first generation Scottish immigrant, and has very strong ties to her heritage and family there. At quite short notice, I came up with the idea to find a piper to pipe in the birthday cake into the house like the haggis is piped in at a traditional Burns Supper. Johnny exceeded my expectations and made this a memorable night for my wife, our family, and our guests. He played Happy Birthday and a selection of traditional Scottish songs, including many of my wife's favorites. He also spent time talking about the bagpipes and the traditional kilt, tartan and some of his experiences in playing in competition pipe bands. I highly recommend Johnny if you ever have the need for a piper."

"Matthew played at my son’s wedding on 1 August 2019 at The Tythe Barn Bicester. He was punctual and his playlist was just what we had asked for. I would recommend Matthew for your wedding or any other event requiring bagpipes. A big thank you Matt for your contribution to what was a truly magical day. "
