"Kevin has been a band instructor for the Sutherland Pipe Band for many years, guiding us through every stage of our band’s lifecycle. He played a crucial role in developing and retaining members when we had just a few players, and he continued to support our improvement as we grew and returned to band competition. Whether you're learning tunes, preparing for a parade or contest, or simply trying to improve your playing, Kevin can help. He is an expert player and teacher for all aspects of piping, including instrument setup, tuning, expression, musicality, deportment, unison, and ensemble. More importantly, while Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and competent, he is equally personable and patient. Every pipe band and piper could benefit from Kevin’s instruction, and he would be my top choice for any event where a piper is needed."
Kadak Chai
"We had Kadak Chai perform at our Mehendi Raat, and they were absolutely incredible! The band brought so much energy to the evening and kept the dance floor alive with a perfect mix of songs that entertained our very mixed and diverse crowd. Everyone—from our older relatives to our friends—had an amazing time, and we received endless compliments on how fantastic the music was. Beyond the performance itself, the whole team was an absolute pleasure to work with. They were professional, flexible, and seamlessly coordinated with our other vendors to make the night run smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better band to set the tone for our celebration. Highly recommend Kadak Chai for anyone looking to bring unforgettable energy to their wedding events!"

“10 Bourbon Street”: an album that transports us to New Orleans, under the command of Catfish-Howl
“10 Bourbon Street” springs from the blues fountain in New Orleans. We have ten songs that are a delight. Here the instrumental presentation is a lesson in dynamics and rhythm, which Catfish-Howl delivers, for our enjoyment. The New Hampshire band rocks the percussion and upbeat, colorful vocals to win our hearts.
“My Baby Has Me”, “Cajun Girl” are songs that already give us an idea of what we will see in this collection: they exalt love and, of course, women. A perfect sound to dance and enjoy that atmosphere of undeniable romance, which they pour into the air.
The accordion is a star: it's in every melody, every beat, and there's no lack of commitment to participate with excitement, even when the guitar presents its fingerings.
For those who love this mix of brass, strings, percussion and vocals that drink from the blues waters, this work is perfect. There is a reinterpretation of “Tupelo Honey”, by Van Morrison, which we need to highlight, for the proposed emotion, and the vocal delicacy involved, which is surprising.
“My Maryann” takes us to New Orleans, without having to go there! You may be in Australia, where music transports your energy as if by magic.
Catfish-Howl puts us in a wonderful ball to wear out our feet and exhaust our strength, as it's impossible to sit still listening to "10 Bourbon Street." The blues magic really is irresistible. Listen and enjoy."

Very shortly after I received a called from Victor. Immediately when is spoke to him I knew he was professional and caring that he was the right person for this special job.
