Alasdair MacLeod - Southend Burns Night (Feb 2012)

Hi Matt
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.

Peter Allan - Upminster Hall Burns Night (Feb 2012)

Hi Matthew
  Just to thank you for the superb display at our Festive board on Friday.
You brought great dignity to the entrance of our new Master & the "piping in" of the Haggis was very entertaining.
I have had a lot of positive feedback from members & visitors & I'm sure we will be inviting you again in the future.
Best regards

''Morning Matthew,
  The Master and his Lady were both speechless with the surprise, and the other 98 guests were the same. The music was first class - we had a number of Scottish people within the hall who agreed and commented the same.
Thank you very much.
Trevor & Stephen''.

Marie Saunderson - 80th Surprise Birthday (Aug 09)

   ''Just wanted to tell you how fantastic you were on the day! You played brilliantly and I know that there wasn't a dry eye in the house and thought you handled my families requests very well indeed, even my great Aunts slightly old fashioned tunes!
  I know that we would all highly recommend you (and I received several requests for your card after you left!) your playing was beautiful and even though my granddad could of kept you talking for hours, he was very pleased to have talked and impressed by your professionalism, even though the size of the whiskey measure he gave you would of toppled the most extreme of Scottish drinkers!
Good luck and best wishes, Marie''.

Sara Hemmings - Chelmsford Christening (June 09)

  ''Dear Matthew, Hi, just wanted to email you to say 'Thank You' for playing at our daughters Christening, it really added lots of fun and excitement to the afternoon tea and reminded everyone where she was born!
  You looked and sounded great and thank you for playing for so long, everyone really enjoyed it. Kind regards''.

Ian Penny - 60th Surprise Birthday (Jan 09)

  ''I would just like to thank you for attending my brothers 60th birthday celebrations and piping him into the party.
You started the day off brilliantly for him, it was great to see you standing there in the full rig-out and playing Scotland the Brave as he came into the bar, playing a few cantata's got the whole day off to a great start.
  I had left it so late trying to book a piper especially as it was Burns Night and a very busy time, for you and your Father to make the effort to fit us in was most appreciated.
Once again I would like to thank you for making it a special day for my brother and my family at such short notice''.

Anna Mancha - 50th Birthday Bash (2007)

  ''Hi Mat, We all want to say a big 'THANK YOU' for Saturday night. Lee (my brother-in-law) was totally gob smacked and said it was one of the best birthday presents he has ever had. Everyone admired your bagpipe skills and all thoroughly enjoyed your playing. Again a big 'THANK YOU'. If you ever need a reference I would be more than pleased to provide one. Best of luck Anna''.
