"We are so grateful to Johnny Miner for sharing his superb bagpipe playing skills with us for our mother's graveside service. Johnny is a talented musician and communicator: he responded quickly to our request, made excellent suggestions for choice of music, and was prompt, friendly, and respectful. It was wonderful to have such evocative, gorgeous music at the funeral. If you are looking for a bagpipe musician, I whole-heartedly recommend contacting Johnny Miner--Thank you! Tamara and the Ryan Family."

"Johnny added a very nice dimension to our graveside service by playing several pieces that were carefully selected and suited to the moment. We are very satisfied with his contribution to our event and would recommend him with two thumbs up."

"Kei Shimizu’s piano playing during our friends’ wedding cocktail hour was pure magic. Her music had this beautiful, effortless flow that made the whole room pause and just listen. We’re so grateful she shared her talent with us—it’s one of those details people will talk about for years. Thank you for making the day feel so special, Kei!"

"Great singer and guitarist with a really good mix of music, perfect for our wedding day welcome drinks . Maria is so lovely to deal with and an exceptional singer. Could not recommend this duo enough and really did kick start our wedding from Sinatra greats, beautiful ballads to upbeat classics we both love. "

"Before our mother passed, her wish was to have a bagpiper play Amazing Grace. Johnny did so much more! As we arrived at the cemetery, he was playing hymns at a little distance. As the pallbearers brought the casket to the graveside, he played her favorite Amazing Grace, and following the dedication of the grave, he played Going Home. Johnny explained to me earlier about the Celtic belief that the soul would stay with the body until after the service, the soul would be led away by the bagpiper to Go home. It was all beautiful and respectful abd would have made my mother very happy. The family was very pleased. My husband (who has no Scottish Ancestors) said afterward that he would like a bagpiper for his burial! Thank you so much for helping to make a difficult day an uplifting experience."

"We booked this pianist for our wedding in Siena after a long search, and we can honestly say it was one of the highlights of the entire day. We wanted something elegant and timeless, and the live piano music created exactly that atmosphere from the very beginning. From the first email, everything felt professional and reassuring. He took the time to understand our vision and offered helpful suggestions without ever being intrusive. We really appreciated how flexible and attentive he was throughout the planning process. On the wedding day, the music during the ceremony was simply beautiful. It added depth and emotion to every moment, especially during the entrance and the vows. It felt incredibly personal and meaningful. During the reception, the atmosphere remained sophisticated and relaxed. The music was always perfectly balanced—never too loud, never too soft—and it enhanced the entire experience without overwhelming it. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the live piano. What stood out the most was the level of sensitivity and control. It was clear that we were dealing with a true professional who knows how to adapt to every situation. We would absolutely recommend this service to anyone planning a wedding in Siena."

"Azu and Filippo were fantastic, we would 100% recommend to anyone looking for acoustic live music for an event. They played a party at we held in our garden and were brilliant from start to finish. Communication was great from enquiry right through. The songs and their sound were beautiful, reading the room and bringing great energy and authenticity. They are such a talented and professional pair of musicians - we would book again in a heartbeat."

"Absolutely amazing! Totally understood the brief of what we wanted! Everyone was raving about Simon and Aden! We had 3 different musicians at this event and these two were by far the stand outs! I wish I had known when I booked that they also had a further band component. Highly recommend these guys!!! 10/10"

"Ok, me and my family truly value our culture. Unfortunately the uncles and Dad's have passed on that play the pipes. I've used Johnny twice now for a celebration for life and my nephews wedding over the weekend. He knocked out our of the park every time. It's funny, everyone wants his number for events etc even if they aren't scottish lol. HIGHLY RECOMMEND coming from a very deep Scottish culture. God Bless you Johnny and the family's that get to experience your talent."
