AWESOME!

Miles gave an amazing performance on Westlake Yacht Opening Day. He led the procession of officers and then later played Amazing Graze. I would definitely suggest him for your event.

Excellent Bagpiper

I cannot say enough positive things about Miles. He showed up early for my husband's celebration of life, and even though we started later which kept him later than planned since he played at both the beginning and the end of the service - he was most kind and generous with his time and talent. His selection of songs and the feeling he put into them was most appreciated by myself and my family. I received so many compliments from our guests and I am very pleased to say that Miles is a bagpiper I would book again and happily recommend to anyone.
