Customer questions

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes, if requested, we can provide just Ailise who can bagpipe solo at your event.

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

We always try our best to be flexible to help ensure your event runs as smoothly as possible. If timings change slightly in the run up to the event just let us know.

How much time do you need to set up?

We need about 30 minutes to set up out instruments so they sound in-tune. We arrive early to make sure this is done before the performance.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Our set lists are crafted from countless performances and learning what works best. We are more than happy to take requests however, as it takes time to learn and practice, we ask that requests are sent at least one week before the event.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Yes, we do not charge for any of our equipment.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

We are more than happy to take requests however, as it takes time to learn and practice, we ask that requests are sent at least one week before the event. Also, requests are free of charge!

well, what can I say..... Ross and Ailise you are both absolutely incredible. You both really made our wedding so special. You looked so smart and the music you played was brilliant, exactly what we wanted. As soon as I heard you playing while I was getting ready I had goosebumps and butterflies in my tummy. You are both so friendly and nothing was ever too big an ask. Communication was easy and you gave us everything we could have wanted. Everyone has commented on how good you were and what a special touch it was to our day. We can't thank you enough and would 100% recommend you to anyone. Thank you again for everything.
