"When I was booking Andrew for my mother's funeral, he gave me a lot of details about the different points at which he could play the pipes, specfically Highland Cathedral. He was extremely helpful, polite and patient with me. I had to discuss and agree the idea of having a piper, with family, the vicar and also the funeral director - the latter heard that I had found Andrew Brian and he told me to book him immediately. It transpires that they had met each other at a previous funeral. So, for me that was endorsement enough. Andrew was marvellous and turned a sad day into something rather fitting and beautiful. I am so grateful. (10 / 10) Nick Watkins"

"I had the privilege of experiencing the beautiful performance of Celtic Bagpipe Team at my close friend's father in laws wake, and I cannot express how profoundly moving it was. Their performance brought a sense of dignity, honor and reverence to the occasion, honoring my friend's memory in a way that words cannot capture. Their music stirred emotions deep within me, and I am forever grateful for the comfort it provided during such a difficult time. The Celtic Bagpipe Team's performance was truly five stars, even more, I highly recommend them for any occasion where music can heal the soul. Thanks Toni you were incredibly helpful~"

"I needed to surprise the president of our company for his birthday — and I realized at 11:30 p.m. the night before that I hadn’t planned anything. Our VP wanted us to do something totally crazy and unexpected, especially since our president hates birthdays. Thank God for ChatGPT, which gave me the idea to hire a bagpipe player to play “Happy Birthday” — and that’s how I found Johnny. I messaged him through the website, and he responded within 30 minutes. He said he could do it, and honestly, he was amazing to work with from start to finish. He was flexible with timing (even when I had to change things), super professional, and made the whole experience fun and stress-free. For someone to come through last minute like that and absolutely deliver? Incredible. Our president loved it, and it made his day. Highly recommend Johnny — you truly can’t go wrong."

"The Devil's Tailors were fantastic. They were easy to work with and helped make our wedding event one to remember. They traveled all the way to Arizona from the east coast. I was grateful for their effort and desire to do it at a reasonable price. Everyone loved the bagpipes and the dancing with the fiddle and the piano. They called out the dances while everyone participated and everyone learned how to do them easily. Everyone was anticipating the next number when they could do it again. I definitely recommend using The Devil's Tailors for your next event. If you are thinking about having Scottish dancing at your event, but don't know if it would be fun, I will tell you to book them right now. It is an amazing time. And if you have had Scottish dancing before, The Devil's Tailors will do a wonderful job. "

Jamie, Thanks so much for your kind words! We had such a great experience and the wedding guests were some of the most spirited dancers we've had the pleasure to play for. Peter

"Johnny Miner played at my mother’s memorial service. He is so talented. He was very kind and patient when I was planning the service and helped me with the process. I will never forget him leading my mother’s casket to her final resting place. Thank you Johnny"

"From the moment Johnny started playing, a serene ambiance enveloped my Mom’s memorial service. I extend my deepest gratitude for assisting us in honoring our beautiful Mother, it truly was the cherry on top. His presence brought comfort, honor, and a touch of tradition to the service, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts. Thank you for being a part of our farewell to my Mom and may your music continue to bring solace and beauty to others in their times of need."

"As my siblings and I were assisting our father with planning out his memorial services, he had requested bagpipes be played. I began searching Google for pipers in my area and found 4 different providers. I emailed each one individually and within minutes of sending those emails Johnny was calling my phone. The way Johnny interacted with me over the phone and spoke with so much reverence and respect for my father, someone Johnny had never met, won me over almost instantly. Johnny acknowledged his availability on the day of the memorial services and then helped walk me through different ideas and musical numbers during our chat, he provided his pricing and explained every single detail possible so that I was fully informed of my options. I took notes and explained I would reach out to him after the family had made a decision on who we would select. I only heard back from 2 additional providers and they both were more expensive than Johnny and offered the same services...Johnny kept in contact with me very professionally, he wasn't aggressive or pushy, he simply checked in and asked if I needed anything or had questions before we had made our decision. Once we had verified that we wanted Johnny to be our piper, he checked in with me daily a couple of days before the day of the memorial services and verified he was ready and honored to be involved. The day of service Johnny arrived early, looking extremely proper and professional in his attire. He performed 2 musical numbers for the service and did such an amazing job, it was absolutely beautiful and set the perfect tone for what we were trying to accomplish. I could not ask for a better experience. After the services concluded, Johnny joined us graveside to pay his respects for my father, expressed his condolences to me and my family and expressed his gratitude for being in attendance, and being able to perform. Johnny is a fantastic guy and possess top shelf musical talent. There is no way you could have a bad experience with this guy. I have every intention of finding other events that we can hire Johnny for, because he is that great. He knows his stuff and demonstrates extreme pride and professionalism in everything he does. Johnny - thank you again for everything! I look forward to seeing you again. Please know that I don't give 5 star reviews to anyone, I don't feel that it's fair. To get 5 stars leads us to believe we have reached perfection and we lose our motivation to improve, change and work hard. Your 4 star review from me means I am beyond pleased with you and your services, but I don't have any feedback on what you could have or can do better. But I encourage you to always be mindful and to take consideration of how you can improve, change or work harder, because that's how all of us become better. Stay safe and keep well! Cheers!"

"The DooLallys perform with a simultaneous lightness and reverence that enchants their audience. They seem to take the pulse of the room and play in resonance. A lovely and willing group of musicians with a dexterous range, very much enjoyed them. Would highly recommend! "
