"Johnny is a fabulous piper! I hired him as a surprise for my husband's 70th Birthday party event at The Mercantile Restaurant in Midway. He played a great selection of songs, took pictures with us and finished with Happy Birthday. He is an excellent communicator, was on time, very professional and more than willing to accommodate our needs. The whole family (40 in all) was dazzled by his performance and is still talking about it! I highly recommend Johnny! It was a night to remember. Thank you!"

"Johnny was absolutely amazing. His performance made for a very special part of our grandpas funeral service. It was special to have him there when the doors to the funeral opened and then again at the gravesite. He knows what he is doing and is happy to give advice for what is commonly done, or also can be flexible if you have something in mind. Very impressed with his stamina!"

"Originally we booked one piper for our wedding, we then realised a drummer was essential to complete our day. We feel that having a mini band as suggested t really made our day special. The pipers and drummer were fantastic and added a really unique touch from helping us choose the music through to educating us on the traditions of having pipes. Thank you and your team you made our day even more fabulous and something we and our guests will remember for a long time to come. "

"Johnny provided a beautiful backdrop for my father’s internment. He responded quickly and was very helpful in helping us pick music. On the day of the funeral he was in contact throughout the day. He showed up early in full regalia and was a calm, stoic presence for the entire event. The music -especially the walk off at the end - gave everyone several moments of quiet reflection that I will always cherish. My dad would have loved it. Cannot recommend highly enough."

"Johnny called me within minutes of posting a request for a bagpiper. We were coming from out of state for a funeral having little communication with the family and sparse knowledge of how the day would go. He was very communicative, friendly, and accommodating He was professional, arrived well in advance, played wonderfully, and conducted his portion of the ceremony as if there had been rehearsals, although the service was very much off the cuff. He was flexible and could adapt at the last minute, working alongside the honor guard to help create a beautiful and honoring ceremony. Would absolutely recommend him to anyone and would call him again."

"Brian, was the absolute best wedding DJ! He was a professional, who stayed behind the scenes and allowed the music and our vision for the wedding speak for itself. Brian listened to what we wanted and did a great job seamlessly transitioning all aspects of the wedding. Guests were dancing from the first to last song of the night. He took song requests while keeping our taste in mind. He was really great!! "

"We are both so pleased that we came across Abigail to play violin on our wedding day. We had decided fairly last minute that we would love to have a violinist play as guests arrived and during the ceremony and reception drinks and Abigail was so accommodating and helpful. Once we had contacted her and decided to go ahead, she quickly put together Spotify playlists as suggestions of which music would work for each part of the day and was more than happy to accommodate any specific requests for us, even learning a new song for our ceremony exit within just a few days! On the day of the wedding Abigail arrived early to begin setting up and was very friendly and helpful and keen to make the day special for us. She played beautifully and guests were commenting how great she was and what a nice addition it made to the pre and post ceremony. We couldn’t recommend Abigail more and would urge anyone to get in touch with her to discuss your event as she is bound to make it even more special!"

" Unique, talented, mellow DJ! Brian was approachable to talk to, esp. with it being my first time working with a DJ. He was willing to take the time to listen to songs that were important to me and other things about the wedding (actually we had a renewal of vows celebration that was like a wedding). Brian gave great suggestions based on lots of experience. His skills exceed that of others DJ's I've seen -- he's a musician himself too...a really good one! He has a ton of songs to pick from, too; he even pulled out what I'd call dinner versions of a lot of the songs on my playlist for when we were eating (our plan was to have more mellow music during that time). He was friendly and flexible, joining in with 2 other musicians I hired for square/folk dance music. If you're looking for someone who will bring a calm presence, look no further. I've been recommending Brian to several friends. Bonus: he played the music the perfect loudness (as in loud for a party) but comfortable for the ears (you could hold a conversation). I think this contributed to our guests feeling comfortable and smiling the whole time and getting to know each other. I loved that Brian brought equipment for the music to be outdoors at the end when my husband and I danced our special Last Dance on the grass surrounded by family and friends; it was so joyful and fun.

"Just a note from myself though, we knew the band was great and would go down amazingly with our guests - but we were not prepared for how well they were received!! So many compliments about you guys! Review for you to use: We had pure blarney play at our wedding and what an experience!! They were absolutely outstanding. The dance floor was full the entire time - you literally couldn’t stop for a break because every song they played was phenomenal. They were so interactive with the guests and created the most amazing atmosphere. They genuinely have such a talent for what then do - their instruments, their singing and their ability to sustain such high energy. Absolutely faultless!"
