January 25, 2026Looking forward to have Duncan play for us again next year
Duncan braved the sub zero weather in his kilt and pipes in hand to make our Burns Night celebration all the more memorable. Thank you Duncan

August 10, 2025Five-Star all the way
The music was wonderful! Duncan contacted in advance (before prompted by gig salad). He checked for any special requests, checked on parking, checked for timing of each phase of our event.
Professional in every respect. And extremely talented to boot.

June 21, 2025Excellent
Duncan played the bagpipes for my mother’s funeral service. It happened to rain that day however despite the weather he played most beautifully. Nothing but an excellent review.

May 22, 2025Incredible Performance and Very Timely Arrival
Duncan was a great choice for my Father’s Funeral service. He played the chorus of “American Pie” by Don McLean very well even though other bagpipers had said it couldn’t be done. We chose Duncan because of his experience and he certainly showed that. Duncan is the best choice on GigSalad for this particular occasion. We were very saddened by Father’s loss but Duncan played the pipes just as he would’ve wanted. Thank you Duncan.
