Chris played at my husband's 60th birthday lunch last Sunday. What a fantastic impact it was to have Chris appear in the garden playing happy birthday on the pipes a wonderful surprise for the guests. He gave us a few tunes from his repertoire finishing with Flowers of Scotland. A few tears were being wiped away by the end. He was very professional and gave a wonderful performance. I am very happy to recommend Chris to others - we would be very happy to have Chris play again.

It was my mother's dearest wish to be piped on her final journey - but how to find a Scottish piper in the middle of England? Luckily in this internet age, it was not so difficult - though beware of London-based concerns masquerading as local with fancy prices to boot - and we were fortunate Chris was available on a Saturday at quite short notice. The pipes added a memorable extra dimension to a solemn occasion and was exactly what my Scots-born mother would have wanted. There cannot be many funerals which concluded with the congregation singing Auld Lang Syne around the graveside. Thanks Chris - truly you raised us up.

We used Chris for our wedding. The bagpipes were fantastic and a really effective part of our evening celebration. Chris was on time, in full dress and performed well and was enjoyed by the bride and groom and all of our guests! I would recommend Chris to anyone wishing to have bagpipes at their events. Thank you Chris

Dear Chris, Very many thanks for playing at my son's wedding reception at Somerford Hall - your playing was much appreciated and enriched the Scottish element of the celebration! Thank you especially for standing in at such short notice, much appreciated. With best wishes, Alison

Thank you your playing was excellent. My Mother was really pleased and said that it was a fitting tribute to my Father a proud Scotsman living in England. Many people were moved to tears as we left the house and inside the Crematorium as they heard the pipe music drifting in through the doors, haunting was the phrase used by many. You did a fantastic job at a very difficult time for all of us, you acted in a dignified and professional manner at all times and I thank you for that.

We both wanted to say thank you very much for your services at our wedding, the whole day was amazing and something we will remember for ever. Although your set was a small part of the whole day it was very important and set the scene for the rest of the activities. You were such a gent during the booking process, responding to queries and trying to help with the drummer at short notice. Thanks again Chris and all the best

Chris played beautifully at my mum’s funeral back in December. Mum was Scottish so it was a fitting tribute to have Chris piping her into the church with ‘Amazing Grace’ (my mum’s name) and then afterwards she was carried out to ‘Flower of Scotland’. These were so poignant at the time and Chris was incredibly professional in his manner and added an uplifting touch to such a solemn occasion. He made a positive impression on everyone, including the vicar who never had a piper at the church before, and I would definitely recommend Chris to anyone looking for someone to add uniqueness to their event or personal occasion. Thank you Chris for everything; you’re an absolute star.

I would just like to say that you did my dad proud, the music you played and the professionalism that you shown, in full Scottish attire, performing just as my father would have wanted it to be done, it brought a lump to a few peoples throats, when you played “men of harlech” my dads favourite tune, along with fallen soldier, as he was in the R.A.F. Regiment, I personally cannot thank you for your contribution to my dads celebration of life funeral, many many thanks John

I hired Chris to play at my wedding, we had pipes up the aisle and back down and it added to the atmosphere.  Chris was very professional in the way he dressed and was in tune throughout!! Everyone who attended the wedding commented on how fantastic he was and quite a few guests had a cry. It really intensified the moment if that is possible and would highly recommend Chris. Thank you so much for a fantastic day we will never forget it!

Lisa and Russ

We were delighted to have Chris play at our wedding, we got married in a Scottish Castle, and having a real authentic piper really made the day.  Our ceremony was held outside in the castle gardens during the summer, and Chris piped Louise down through the gardens with the bridesmaids following, it was a really nice touch.
