Excellent

Alison was very easy to work with, played beautifully and was very accommodating with the change in venue and time due to a winter storm. It was a wonderful tribute to my late mother. Thank you Alison!

Bagpiper at Military Museum Ortona Dinner

Alison was friendly, prompt, played well, and was easy to make arrangements with. The guests were piped into dinner and a lament played while slides of fallen Canadian soldiers in Italy played. We will invite Allison to perform at the Military Museum again.

Gorgeous, authentic, lovely and kind.

It’s hard to put into words. We were very happy and profoundly appreciative of Alison’s beautiful performance. She had the proud and authentic appearance of a Scottish kilty and the music was hauntingly beautiful.
Allison was very professional, arrived in plenty of time and was friendly and gracious.
Thank you for arranging her appearance. Sincerely Margaret C

Beautiful Funeral Recessional Led by Alison

From the start, Alison was responsive, flexible, sympathetic, and understanding. She provided song suggestions that were well-suited for the funeral. The day of the event she was punctual and followed the funeral directions. The songs she played were beautiful. I am glad we chose Alison and her bagpipes to be a apart of my grandfather's funeral. He would have very much enjoyed listening to her play the bagpipes. It was a wonderful way to send him off.

Would absolutely hire Alison again

Alison is very skilled. at her craft. I grew up listening to bagpipers play all of my life, and she is amongst the most memorable piper I have heard. Alison is very professional, she showed up 15 minutes before the event, well dressed, even took the time to rehearse, in an area that would not disrupt the event. Alison was Definity apart of making this memorial/celebration of life for my late father very special. I trusted her to pick out appropriate music, both uplifting and reflective pieces of music, and she delivered. I had never used this site to book before, but I was pleasantly surprised, how easy it was to book Alison. As well as how easy it was to coordinate the part of the program I needed her for, prior to meeting her at the venue. Hiring Alison was money well spent. Thanks again, Alison!

Alison played the pipes at the graveside burial for our Scottish born Mum. She stood a short distance away on the hillside and provided the perfect emotional touch to our service.
