Bagpiper for Weddings
"Good afternoon Major Dirk, I can’t thank you enough for your wonderful music performance. You are truly a brilliant Piper! At the grave the family was crying that you’d played so amazingly & that Peter Protoulis must have smiled joyfully having you play at the funeral.
I’ll be keeping your details & hopefully we have a celebration for you to play at but will also recommend you to everyone who asks me about the best Piper.
Many thanks Dirk…Being born in Edinburgh & having attended several Military Tattoos, I rate you as the best solo Piper I’ve heard!
Warm regards,
Lisa"
Asgards Traditional Irish Music
"We had the Asgards play at the day 2 of our wedding in September to a mixed audience of British and Irish guests and they were absolutely phenomenal! We really wanted our guests to experience some traditional Irish music as part of our wedding celebration and Asgards were the perfect band for that!"
Bob Ferguson Songwriter
"We all had an amazing night, all the sailors loved your performance and it really made a massive difference to the night, it really brightened up the spirits of everyone and made it a night to remember, extremely worth it and a very fair price. Keep in touch bob."
Harp - Amelia Tokarska
"Amelia played the harp during our corporate reception, adding an elegant touch to the evening. Her music created a welcoming atmosphere as guests arrived and enjoyed their drinks. We particularly appreciated how the live performance complemented the event while allowing conversation to flow comfortably. We would happily recommend Amelia for corporate events and private celebrations."
Ingrid Magee Funeral Singer London
"Ingrid, a quick note on behalf of the family. Thank you for the amazing vocals last Wednesday. When Mum and I were discussing her wishes; it was everything we hoped. I sobbed the whole way through Ave Maria. Your performance was truly beautiful. On a personal note, thank you for navigating some tricky times. Knowing you were taking care gave me confidence to relax. Wishing you and yours a lovely Christmas x"

We genuinely hope we meet again, your vibe was spectacular. Talk to you soon man. Thanks again"
