"Fantastic ๐"
Stephen hired Michael Quinn for a Funeral / Memorial service
"John Imrie was absolutely wonderful and went out of his way to provide a perfect evening for us all. He was so obliging and nothing was too much trouble for him. He fully cooperated in helping to keep it a surprise birthday treat for the person concerned, and joined in all the fun. We will definitely be booking him again for any future events and thank you for organising it all for us."
Christine hired John Imrie for a Private event
"Pete was very professional and friendly to deal with. Communication prior to the performance was excellent and he did all I requested. Pete arrived at the agreed time and we had a lovely chat. Performance was very moving and everyone loved it. This had been a short notice booking for a funeral. Would not hesitate to book again, thanks so much Pete!"

FAQs about hiring Wedding Bagpipers in the UK
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Can any bagpiper play my favourite song?
Professional bagpipers will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that bagpipers may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the bagpiper's song list on their Encore profile.
How much time do bagpipers take to set up?
Your bagpiper will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the bagpiper prior to their arrival.
My venue has asked for the performerโs PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?
PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our bagpipers are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to ยฃ10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our bagpipers will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
