"It was lovely to see you last evening and to hear your brilliant band! Hearing live music played so well was a real treat after the last 2 years. Tom was as fantastic as ever guiding us through the dances and he always makes it so much fun. Everyone had a great time and they didn’t want to go home!"

"We had a fabulous time listening & dancing to Victors tunes. He was so accommodating that he looked up some songs that are near and dear to my family‘s hearts and he played them just as he said he would. He was on time and very professional. I would definitely recommend Hampton Pipes & Drums."

"Paul and Lindsay were the perfect addition to my grandma’s big family reunion / birthday party. Their communication throughout the booking process was flawless and professional. The actual performance was spell-bounding . The tunes they played were so nostalgic and nobodies feet could stay still. All guests were very impressed, and The Publicans were the talk of the party. Thanks again Paul - we hope to see you again soon! (10 / 10) Sophie Banner"

"Absolutely perfect for my mother's funeral. He listened to our preferences and just gave her the most beautiful sendoff. Would 100% recommend. Could not have had a better bagpiper."

"We had Johnny play his bagpipes for my mothers graveside service and he did an absolutely amazing job! We were thrilled with how everything went. We appreciated his professionalism, his knowledge of the bagpipes and traditions that go along with them, his talent, and especially his thoughtfulness about the situation as it was a difficult time for us. He was at the grave site early and stayed for as long as we needed him dispite the very cold wind we had that day. I would highly recommend him."

"You guys were amazing! Thank you so much for helping make our day extra special. You made it all so easy and smooth from the beginning, and that was greatly appreciated! It was lovely of you to do the live cover for our first dance, and everyone absolutely loved the ceilidh! You were fantastic leading us with such an international mix of people, and we had lots of comments on how much fun it was. We will definitely recommend you to anyone who is looking for a band :)"

"Johnny was booked at short notice , arrived an hour early . I had forgotten that there was an important rugby match on in the bar so he couldn’t set on at the time agreed and this did not bother him in the slightest. Once he started everyone loved it and joined in . He can sing anything, absolutely brilliant. I can’t recommend him enough "

"The guys were excellent! We had organised for them to play for pre-meal entertainment at our wedding and the room they were set up in was packed for the full 2 hours. We had such good feedback from all our guests! Couldn’t recommend them more. Get these boys booked!! BallyMaGarvey Village Navan, Co Meath, Wedding (October 2025)"

"Thanks to Nadia Violin. She played for our wedding and it was truly magical. The clarity and timing of everything was just perfect during and after the service - she played beautifully. We would not hesitate to book Nadia again in the future, she really helped make our day, a day to remember.’ Rebecca and Denn Smith"
