Excellent start to finish.

We hired Connor for a private party at a villa on our summer vacation. He was absolutely wonderful! He walked around the property playing his bagpipes and left us all in awe. The age range at the event was from small children to older adults and we all loved him. He’s very professional and plays lovely music. Highly recommend.

Im a piper myself and had to get Conner to cover me for a corporate gig after a spot of illness. He was highly enthusiastic and willing to help as much as possible to cover the 2 days playing needed. A great wee piper and a new friend made. Good service . CN

Friendly affordable service. Conor was well dressed for our video and very accommodating to our needs on our special day. Our guests were very impressed with his playing, can’t recommend him enough.
