Reviews of Irish / Scottish Entertainment available in Vail, Colorado, United States

5/5 from 349 reviews
Photo of Michael Lancaster Michael Lancaster "Michael was the best decision we could have made for the wedding! His communication was incredible. He helped us think through things that we hadn't even considered and really made the schedule as smooth as could be. He was able to accommodate for our ceremony that did not have a power source. We even had our generator go out during the reception and he didn't hesitate to keep the vibe going. He started up his battery powered speakers and many guests didn't even realize the power was out. Michael was on board with our creative song choices and made them crowd pleasers. Majority of our guests complimented the DJ choice because we had the best dance floor ever. Thank you Michael for everything!!!!!" Based in Denver, Colorado (74 miles from Vail) Katie O. - Private Wedding Photo of Utah Bagpiper - Johnny Miner Utah Bagpiper - Johnny Miner "Johnny is simply incredible! I am an elementary school music teacher who came to him with a wild proposal to accompany my choir of 96 children on a Scottish folk song, The Skye Boat song. He met with my assistant directors and I to come up with a plan of how to coordinate the flow of the song and balance the vocals and the pipes. He is an amazing collaborator and had a lot of great ideas of how to make it come together. He came to one of our rehearsals and was so gracious and so kind with the students. They absolutely loved interacting with him! Our whole community was enchanted with him when he played for the concert and opened for us and then performed the number we had worked on together. He is a very eloquent and engaging speaker and a master at his instrument! He’s one of those people who is just a joy to work with and we look forward to collaborating with him again on future musical projects!"
