5/5 from 201 reviews
Photo of Bagpiper Stephen Wilkinson Bagpiper Stephen Wilkinson "My best pick ever! I got beyond lucky when I called Stephen and asked him to play at my dear Mom’s funeral service First off, Stephen answered the phone every time I called him. He is so kind and understanding. He was early for our service and waited patiently while our service was delayed. During that delay, Stephen jumped right in and began playing for all to enjoy. His music hit me straight in my heart and the tears were impossible to contain. Stephen led me through this tough ceremony and was my steady guide. The Angel I needed came with bagpipes thank you so much Stephen W." Based in Austin, Texas Andrea Routh - Funeral Photo of Dueling Accordions Dueling Accordions "Great Duo for Oktoberfest!
