June 30, 2026From start to finish, working with Don was a fresh, Irish breeze. Our construction company hired Don to help coordinate a bagpiper and drummer for a Topping Out Ceremony at an active construction site. He was very helpful and ensured we had talented musicians to perform, even as our schedule adjusted from weather delays. The attendees were notably impressed by the surprise performance as the bagpiper and drummer marched from out of view onto a deck above the audience, creating a dramatic crescendo of music. Guests were commenting how they had never seen anything like it before. We are very grateful for how smoothly the event went and would highly recommend Don to others wanting a unique and professional touch to their events.

May 24, 2026Mr. Shannon was more than a musician playing at my Brothers funeral. He amazed everyone with his beautiful music and performance! He did all that we ask of him and was professional and a true delight to deal with. My friends and family complement his performance constantly and ask for his contact information. We have had the misfortune of loosing several family members and friends recently and we need hearing how better Eddie's service was than the others! That was not a goal we had when we put together his service but it was better, for a great part, because of Don Shannon!

April 27, 2026Don performed at my wedding, and as a Scotsman myself I have a high standard for Bagpipes. I was beyond impressed with Don. His playing, his attire, and most importantly how wonderful a person he was and many guests loved speaking with him.
Amazing

Andrew’s wedding was a wonderful event to be a small part off.
He was a true gentleman, his bride was beautiful and his family were so friendly and welcoming to me.
It was an honour to play for you Andrew.
Take care sir and congratulations again.
