Martin hired Catherine Ashcroft for a Private event (available in Scottish Borders)
"Catherine's professionalism was brilliant. She was unable to perform for our wedding. However, her husband stepped in and he played beautifully. We were grateful that she was able to organise an alternative for us and that her husband Steven could play just as well. We had so many comments at our wedding about how lovely it was to hear the pipes being played. We would highly recommend both Catherine and Steven for their communication, professionalism and flexibility to ensure that ‘the show must go on’. It has been lovely working with them both over the last year. "
