July 14, 2026Life doesn't always call for a bagpiper, but it should.
We hired Michael for my husband's 50th birthday party and he was an absolute delight. Not only was he an excellent bagpiper, but he was very personable, and shared his passion and knowledge about bagpiping to anyone who asked him questions. My husband got the best surprise ever when Michael let him try out the bagpipe and gave him some quick tips. Our event was 3 days ago and we are still receiving messages about him from our guests. I would highly recommend hiring him for any special event as he added so much joy and entertainment to our party.

May 12, 2026Excellent and exceptional!
Michael is an exceptional Piper and it was wonderful that he was willing to inform us about the pipes and his background. We loved that he brought the Irish pipes as well. We were so impressed with his open and sharing personality. His playing is highly skilled and beautiful. I am so glad he played for us and I would highly recommend him to others for what ever the occasion. We hope to see him at other venues.

September 9, 2025Michael was perfect for my mother's graveside service!
Michael was very professional, nicely dressed, and an excellent piper! He helped me choose what I wanted him to play as well as when to play them. He knew when to be present and when to provide background ambience. I highly recommend him!
