Reviews

Tammy You were absolutely wonderful, Thank You so much, my family loved it and im sure my Grandad did too.
I will be recommending you always.
Thank You again and all the best to you for 2010

Alasdair MacLeod Thanks for braving the snowy weather and playing so outstandingly at our charity night for the TLC Appeal. In fact you single-handedly revised many of the (English) guests’ opinions on bagpipe music!

You’re definitely booked for next year.

Vivien Spedding Hiring him to pipe for us at our recent wedding was an excellent decision and we'll never forget the pleasure it gave us all. He played tunes chosen from his wide repertoire, plus a new one that we requested (I am sailing) and which he learned and played perfectly. Our guests all expressed their delight at hearing his pipes playing the Wedding March as I walked in, and other tunes after the wedding. It made the Register Office atmosphere a lot less formal. He was reliable and punctual and we would not hesitate to recommend him.
