A Perfect Tribute

Christopher Martin showed up on time and played Scottish tunes in the misty rain on the church lawn for my father’s memorial. What a trooper! He played wonderfully as people entered the service. It was exactly what we hoped for , a perfect tribute to my Sotts-Irish father. I would definitely recommend Christopher Martin if you are in need of a talented bag-piper!

Great Job, Chris!

Chris played at the graveside for my mother’s funeral. He was professional, sincere, and all were touched by his playing.
