Alex Peden - Bagpiper

Alex, was a great communicator leading up to my mother's funeral. He recommended a couple of classics and was able to work in an Aberdeen classic, honouring my mother's heritage. He's kind, punctual and plays very well.

Alex was amazing! He was very prompt with communications, and accommodating, he was willing and able to adjust on the spot at the venue. He was friendly, kind, and patient, which is no easy task when having to deal with the chaos that is me and my family. He plays so beautifully, he had us in tears! He truly made our occasion, a surprise 80th birthday party for our mother, a treasured memory we will hold onto. We are so very thankful!

Alex was very accommodating! He performed a special song that wouldn't usually be played on the bagpipes, and he played some traditional songs as well. It set the mood for our family as we celebrated our departed loved one. I hope to use Alex in the future, as I really appreciated his professional dedication.

I didn’t give Alex much advance notice, as I messaged him June 30th for a July 3rd funeral service for my father.
He responded quickly and was very professional.
I requested the songs, “Amazing Grace” and “How Great Thou Art”. Alex did not know the latter song but researched it before hand and knew he would be able to play it for us. It was overwhelming that he could provide my request. I felt very at ease with him.
He played very beautifully and made it feel very poignant.
My father would be proud to know that he received one request, that he did not voice much. I’m sure he was up there looking down on us Alex and feeling pleased. 🙏
I would highly recommend Alex to anyone. I couldn’t have asked for a more professional and understanding individual.
Thank you again Alex.

Alex piped several times during our wedding ceremony and was exceptional! He was a pleasure to deal with as we coordinated his role piping in the bride and her father, playing during the ceremony and piping our guests out. Alex suggested tunes and took our requests as well and played all magnificently! Alex elevated our wedding ceremony and created wonderful memories for all!

Thank you Alex - I hope to have the occasion to have you play again!
