“Andrew made our wedding anniversary celebration a very special day indeed. We were very moved to hear him play Highland Cathedral so beautifully as we had this at our wedding twenty two years ago. His pre wedding communication was excellent and was very punctual on the day. He looked incredibly smart and played the bagpipe absolutely beautifully. It was just perfect. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to find another excuse to book him again”
“Andrew contacted me soon after I placed my request. His response was personal and friendly and he was able to play at short notice as requested. Despite me giving him the wrong house number, he turned up on time, and played beautifully covering all of my requests. My mum was both moved and delighted and I would have no hesitation in recommending Andy to anyone in the future”
“Andrew is very professional, respectful and a great Piper. I would recommend his services without hesitation”
