The Piping Experience
"I booked our piper from Here in Spain and was guided through the process by Matthew. He put me in contact with Piper Michael who arrived exactly at 2.00pm as requested to play for my Scottish sister-in-law Marion who is bed bound with multiple sclerosis . She was absolutely and utterly thrilled ! I would absolutely recommend this organisation ! Thank you all!"

Simon Addison Highland Piper
"Hands-down, Simon is possibly the finest piper I have ever booked for a funeral service. Not only is he an excellent piper, he is also reliable, immaculately turned out and a pleasure to deal with and he is our first choice for a funeral piper in Herefordshire."

Cameron Edgar - Pipe Major
"We can't thank you enough, Cameron, for helping to make our event special! The surprise element was perfect, and our guests were delighted to see you arrive and watch you play - it all added to the atmosphere! It is so moving to listen to the bagpipes, so to be in the presence of Cameron playing live at our event was a real privilege."
