Andrew Brian - Highland Bagpiper
"Andy made our wedding anniversary celebration a very special day indeed. We were very moved hearing him play Highland Cathedral so beautifully as we had this at our wedding twenty two years ago. He communicated very well as soon as I made the booking and was very punctual. He looked incredibly smart and dapper and he played the bagpipe absolutely beautifully. It was just perfect. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to find another excuse to book him again."
Ed Arnold - Professional Scottish Bagpiper
"We worked with Ed together and we truly loved the experience. We could not recommend him more!"
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."

"Good morning David
I just wanted to thank you for playing at my daughter’s wedding. I cannot thank you enough for adding the finishing touch to the wedding ceremony, it so complemented the Scottish roots of the family. I had so many complimentary comments said to me about lovely you were and that you looked splendid not to mention how much everybody enjoyed the pipes. May I just say again a very big thank you from all the family."
Keith the Piper
"He made my wedding 100% much better ❤️ . . .

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."
