July 14, 2026Ben was the highlight of my party! Very talented!
Ben played the bagpipes in his formal dress in sweltering temperatures without complaint. His music was just so beautiful wafting in and out of the venue. The neighborhood children were as entranced as we were with his playing. It really was a bucket list item for me. Ben Adelman gets 6 ****** out of 5!

June 30, 2026Ben was terrific!
Ben arrived on time and was very professional. He had tuned at home so the surprise could be a surprise. He played lots of up beat songs for us all, really a surprise for my sister. We had a small gathering with our neighbors at our house on the beach and everyone thought he was wonderful. I will definitely recommend him for your events and will hire him again myself.
