  1. booked Dominic Henderson for a funeral / memorial service

    Verified

    I have to say that Dominic was amazing. He was punctual, professional and his performance was perfection. I will hopefully be looking to book Dom for another performance at some event in the future. Dominic is a top man and was so respectful at my wife’s funeral. If you like the Irish pipes Dominic is the man for you. Thank you so much.

  2. booked Andrew Paton the Highland Bagpiper for a funeral / memorial service

    Verified

    Andrew was absolutely the best choice we could have made for my mother in laws last journey. Discretion and dignity were high on our priorities and Andrew maintained every request with full professionalism. My mother in law would have loved every moment of Andrew playing - Amazing Grace and The Flower of Scotland were the 2 most important songs and were both played with execution. We would highly recommend Andrew to anybody looking for a Bagpiper. Thank Andrew for making my mother in laws final journey memorable despite the sad circumstances.

  3. booked Martin Jackson for a wedding anniversary

    Verified

    A last minute booking for a very small, intimate gathering. Excellent, amazing, superb, what more can I say. Very talented musician and singer, what a brilliant version of "For Crying Out Loud" by Meat Loaf. From the initial contact through to the performance it was faultless. Martin is so friendly and professional, I wouldn't hesitate to book him again. Thank you Martin, you made a very special day absolutely amazing.

  6. booked Beato Burrito for a private event

    Verified

    Had the pleasure of these amigos serenading us for an hour as a surprise booked by a family member. Totally taken aback by how good these guys are, from their authentic Mexican accents, to songs ranging from the Spice Girls, Gina G to Tom Jones and Human League. We couldn’t stop grinning all day long. Highly recommend these guys to anyone and we would definitely book for upcoming events.

  10. booked Jessica Boyd for a wedding proposal

    Verified

    Jessica was terrific and helped to make our day very special. The selection of songs was perfect; the timing of the songs was also great, as was human touch, the professionalism and client engagement from the first phone call up to the end of the performance. My fiancée and I are so pleased with the service we got. Thank you Jessica!

  12. booked Trad Folk Experience for a private event

    Verified

    Dan played at my daughters wake and we were very happy with every aspect, from turning up on time to the professionalism shown, and in particular his performance. As an Irish wake he was even kind enough to let some of the family get up and sing. If he can preform like that at a wake, I should imagine a party we be a riot.

  13. booked Stuart Whatton for a wedding

    Verified

    Stuart was absolutely fantastic as a musician and a person. From the beginning right through to the end, he was highly professional and very thorough, wanting to ensure he would do the best job possible on the day. He had no problems with the repertoire we provided and took the time to practise in our church to familiarise himself with the venue and acoustics. He even sourced a singer for our wedding ceremony, something we were incredibly grateful for. All in all, he far exceeded our expectations and it was a pleasant experience to work with him. Thank you once again, Gaby and Anthony

  17. booked Cristinel Bacanu for a wedding

    Verified

    Cristinel is very talented and just amazing in so many ways. The atmosphere he created was so sensual and romantic. We were a bit late to the ceremony, and I remember us panicking and then remembered our guests would be enjoying the violin concert (we were extremely jealous we missed out). The music moved us so much and created a very romantic feel to our ceremony and the only mistake we did was to not ask Cristenel to join us for the reception.

    Dave & Keiran, I cannot thank you both enough! What you did on Friday will be echoed in our family forever. The entire family are eternally greatful.
