Stevie Bagpipes
"Stevie is a great guy and a wonderful piper. He was a fantastic addition to our wedding day and we are so glad that he was able to be with us. With clear communication and quick responses from first contact through to the day itself he was always very friendly and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble for him and his range of music was fab. The added bonus of the pipers toast after being piped into our wedding breakfast was very special and a lovely touch. We would absolutely recommend Stevie to anyone even considering having bagpipes at their event!"
Colin Sutherland
"Colin came on time, played flower of Scotland, Skye boat song, for the scattering of my husbands ashes on what would have been his 80th birthday. It was so touching to hear Colin play, on such a sad occasion, he is so easy to get on with, I could not thank him enough"
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."
