"I attended a funeral where David Carril played. He played beautifully and looked and acted with great professionalism. The music spoke for itself and he was unobtrusive, obviously very experienced and respectful. It definitely added to the personal feel of the service for a very special man. I have no hesitation to recommend him. "

"A friend of mine had to postpone her elopement in Scotland due to the Coronavirus. Thinking she might be feeling sad, I contacted Dennis to surprise her with some bagpipe music. We made a plan for the surprise just a few days in advance. As the week progressed my friend decided she wanted to proceed with getting married - just in her neighborhood. Keeping the music a surprise, Dennis worked with each change of plans as an impromptu wedding took shape. He was responsive to all communication and so pleasant. He (and his wife Denise, the drummer!) arrived early and did an amazing job. Would absolutely hire him again in the future and highly highly recommend him to you."

"“Musical Wizard:” Against the backdrop of the oak-panelled Great Hall, and under the hooded gaze of Lord Preston’s impressive portrait, Peter Bull, resplendent in black velvet and sporting a large ostrich-feather hat, took us through a tour of the music and instruments of the Civil War. The Hall itself was used as lodgings for the Roundheads and one could imagine the music echoing down the centuries to a very different audience. Peter Bull performed two different concerts, beginning with a selection of tunes by John Playford (1651), played with great dexterity on the hurdy-gurdy (or wheel fiddle), a cross between a violin and the bagpipes! In contrast, he then performed the popular Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes (Ben Johnson) and Gather Ye Rosebuds (William Lawes) on the lute. "

"Anita Syers-Gibson Cawley Hall, Eye Dear Keith Thank you so much for helping our Burns Night go with such a swing last night. From the piping in of each guest (a lovely surprise) to the parading around of the haggis, and the little medleys in between, you delivered everything immaculately with skill, grace and charm: a thoroughly professional performance all round and greatly enjoyed by the company. And again, Thank you, Thank you. Thank you. Anita "

"Interviewed a few bagpipers for my mother's funeral, and he struck as the best choice in many respects. He exceeded our expectations in every aspect. His playing and attire were pitch perfect. He was very early, and texted me on his arrival at the cemetery, while we were not even finished with the funeral at the church. It was a busy traffic day in Atlanta and then we had to wait for a nearby graveside service to finish before we could begin. He lead my mother's casket to the graveside with Going Home and finished our service with Amazing Grace and Taps. He was pleasant and the consummate professional. We could not recommend him highly enough -- truly. "

"Thank you so much for playing so beautifully at my Dads send off. He loved bagpipe music so I know he would have loved it! It was especially beautiful being in the woodland setting."

"Matthew was fantastic at our wedding. His piping was top class and enjoyed by all at the church and the venue. Dealing with Matthew was a real pleasure as he was efficient and communicative. I couldn’t recommend him more."

What a professional you are! You looked terrific in your choice of outfit, we loved your choice of tunes you played and you really did do us proud. Everyone was Raving about how charming and nice you were I’m just sorry we didn’t get to speak with you more. Five star service from the point of booking and on the day! Thank you so much. Best wishes Finlay & Nicola MacPherson "

"We were so pleased for Fraser and Louisa that the day went so well for them and even the sun came out. It was a lovely venue and seems everyone had a great time. Your pipe playing was a notable highlight everyone commented on including the evening guests who enjoyed the welcome. Having the pipes and a few kilts made for a memorable spectacle so many thanks again. Fraser and Lousa were thrilled to have you there."

"RockPipes absolutely ‘rocked’ a packed village hall on New Year’s Eve with their bagpipe-led band. Musically it seems an unlikely formula, but it totally works to give a real party and fun evening that went down really well. (Frenchay Community News following our Hogmanay Party 2022)"
