Dennis responded quickly and communicated very well throughout the entire process. He was very detail oriented with the planning stage and arrived on time. He and his wife put on a superb performance and were very cordial and friendly to talk to. I would recommend and use Dennis again in the future for any pipe and drum occasion.

Dennis Duncan on the pipes and his wife on the drums absolutely made our 60th Wedding Anniversary party one that we will always cherish and remember. And it will be the talk of the town for days to come. They were courteous and professional. And their choice of songs was perfect. When he introduced the Sky Boat song and began playing we noticed that the two tables of our Brazilian neighbors and local ministers, were smiling and nodding their heads in recognitions of the tune. Anxious to talk to them about their connection to the song. Also several guest came up afterwards sharing about their Scottish heritage and how much the music meant to them. I had no idea that Dennis and his wife would stay to listen to our children perform a "This-is-your-laugh-type program like the old TV Program." Afterwards they spoke to the guest and congratulated us again. This is most rare in the lives of today's performers.
I was a commissioner with the Clan Mackenzie for many years and have heard numerous pipers in Georgia, across America, and Scotland and I will assure you that Dennis is the best!

Dennis and Denise were perfect. They were on time, dressed immaculately and professional. Dennis had a list of appropriate songs ready but was able to accommodate my father's requests. Flawless performance and wonderful people. They truly made my father's 95th birthday one of his most memorable. Highly reccomended.

I hired Dennis to surprise my Scottish husband and daughter with an 8:00am wakeup call for their birthday this week. Dennis did a great job of communicating in advance his plan on when he would arrive, where he would stand etc.. I had a few song requests and he filled in the rest of his time with well known bagpipe tunes. Not only did the bagpipes sound perfect, but Dennis was dressed in full Scottish glory!
I would highly recommend Dennis to anyone needing a bagpiper!

Dennis was very personable and professional. He showed up early and communicated well. He is excellent at his craft and played beautifully at my father in law’s celebration of life. I would absolutely book him again for any event.

On Sunday we watched a program with a bagpiper and we thought wouldn't it be a great addition to our pro police event .
We were so pleased that they were able to do it. Their outfits were festive, their music wonderful and their personalities were upbeat. The temp was just under 100 and they continued to push ahead. Great Job

Marie thank you for your wonderful review. I was honored to be a part of the beautiful service for your mother.

Dennis was fantastic! He brought along a drummer and the kids loved hearing them play. He was very interactive and both he and the drummer allowed the kids to touch the instruments and even play the drum! We will definitely have them back next year for our Walk To School. Thank you both so much!

Thank you Shelby. It was a pleasure working with you and your organization. I am looking forward to your next event.

Hi, the bagpiper (Lisa Wright) was good, but Dennis was not who performed so it wouldn't be accurate to rate him.
