Everyone commented on the quality of your playing
Hi David, we just wanted to send a special thank you for helping our wedding day to be the fabulous event that it was. My entrance was a blur and I didn't hear you play too much but the walk out and the breakfast entrance were amazing. Gordon thought you were amazing and everyone commented on the quality of your playing, the way you looked and you're seamless blend with our guests. A truly memorable day so thank you.

Extra special
Dear David just a quick note to say thank you so much for your part in our Daughter's wedding at Irnham Hall Grantham. After a horrible journey down, of which you kept us informed all the way, arriving with 15 mins to spare you were absolutely professional and looked fabulous in full dress. Your playing was faultless and piping in of the bride and the groom and toast was extra special, you were absolutely fantastic. Thank you so very much and would recommend you 100%

A professional and a gentleman
This man was a professional and a gentleman who was very knowledgeable about bagpiping and Scottish tradition. David turned up early, went above and beyond what my father asked and what I expected. I recommend David to anyone who wants a quality piper at a very reasonable price. I am so happy with his service!
