Bagpiper & Guitarist- Michael Lancaster

Is there any place to have 6 stars? Michael was an ace when it came to communication, which was super important as this was for a destination wedding. When we were late and the other musician had to leave before the end, Michael came through and gave us our perfect wedding. In addition, he was a champ and handled our amplification needs for a very fair price. I cannot recommend Michael more. He is a total rock star and I cannot praise him enough for our perfect day.

We hired Michael for a family birthday party. He arrived exactly on time, marching and piping from across the street up our driveway to make a grand entrance. He played all the tunes we had requested, as well as several others. He stopped in between songs to tell jokes and to give some brief history and information about the bagpipes. It was interesting and entertaining. My family had a wonderful time and Michael did a great job. Everyone told me afterwards that they were impressed with how well he played and with his performance overall. Couldn't have been better!

Michael was excellent. The look on the Bride's face when she heard his first note was priceless. He added so much to this special ceremony. We especially appreciated his flexibility while we worked through restrictions with the Academy chapel and his willingness to pose for pictures after the wedding. We highly recommend Michael for anyone looking for a premier bagpiper!

Michael was great! The kids (in our childcare program) couldn't stop talking about him after he left, and they were telling their parents all about what they learned during his show. Awesome experience overall!

Michael first made a positive impression on me by getting back to me almost immediately after I placed my request on Gigmasters. He was kind, professional and didn't blink an eye when I had to move his arrival time up an hour. He offered good ideas as to how his contribution could best be woven into my sister's Memorial service. I would hire Michael again, no question. I would also recommend him regardless of occasion. He's a true performer.

Michael was excellent to work with - very thorough in his preparation, thoughtful in providing recommendations and hung with us when it rained during our wedding ceremony outside. I would highly recommend him!

Michael was so easy to work with as he was prompt on returning calls/emails and had many suggestions as well. He also took suggestions for songs and was very accommodating. On the day of our wedding the music was beautiful. Michael played the guitar for the duration of time when guests were arriving as well as our wedding party entrance and then switched to the bagpipes for my bridal walk before switching back to the guitar for the cocktail hour. His professionalism is top notch and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a live musician for any event! Thank you so much, Michael, you helped make our wedding day that much better!

Presentation was professional and very well received

Working with Michael was fantastic. He played both the guitar and the bagpipes at our July 2011 wedding. He was always prompt in responding to me, helpful, friendly and organized. Above all, Michael is a fabulous musician and was an excellent addition to our wedding ceremony. Michael has my very highest recommendation.

Michael not only provided an outstanding performance at my late wife's funeral but he was there when needed to coordinate the arrangements and was keenly aware of his role integrating his talents with the overall event. I would never hesitate to use his services again.

We hired Michael for our mountain wedding ceremony music. He provided a large list of bagpipe songs and also guitar songs. He performed both instruments and was amazing the whole time. I remember crying during the acoustic guitar performance - it was very touching. I would highly recommend him!
