Fantastic In Every Way!

Greetings: I greatly enjoyed seeing James Sawyer again. Wonderful bagpiping! Mr. Rosen also did the drums beautifully. I enlisted James Sawyer for a June 27, 2019 retirement party that I hosted, downtown at Metro Hall which also was a resounding success. I can't tell you how many of my friends and condo neighbours told me how much they appreciated hearing the Scottish bagpipes and drums. I rate the experience as 10/10.
I would not hesitate to invite James Sawyer again. Kindest regards, Richard MacFarlane, 18 Concorde Place

Wedding

James was absolutely wonderful from the time that he arrived, until he left. It felt as though we knew him all of our lives. He played when guests were arriving, calmed down the bride, played during the ceremony and after. James is an absolute must to have for any occasion. If you want something that is for a special event than James is your guy!
Thank you James, our day with you will always be cherished.

A 'Piping Hot' Five Star Performance!

James's communication style was timely, informative, and friendly. Booking the event and confirming the details was simple and easy. As for his performance, James was a huge hit! Those in attendance raved about the quality of the performance (James is clearly a highly accomplished musician), the song selection (he has a wide range of songs in his repertoire), and his amiable demeanour. I would book James for another event in the future, and I would highly recommend him to others!

Meaningful Experience; Skilled Playing

James played his bagpipes at an outdoor school event and briefly shared about the Canadian history of his instrument as well, which added an extra layer of meaning for attendees. We are still hearing enthusiastic feedback about the outstanding calibre of his playing. He was reliable, pleasant and agreeable to work with, and we are grateful for his beautiful contribution to creating impact among our community.

Fantastic piper and person - highly recommended

We held a family internment for my Mother who passed away at the age of 87. Although it was a small gathering, we wanted something that would make it special, and reflect our Ulster-Scots heritage. James's contribution was beautiful; he is an immensely talented piper whose playing conveyed dignity and emotional intensity. Everyone in my family was delighted by his performance and felt that his playing offered both consolation and hope. Other people in the cemetery spoke to me as I was leaving in order to praise James, and say how moved they were by his playing.
In the lead to our event, I was impressed by James's professionalism, his timeliness in communication, and his willingness to accommodate our requests. I give him the highest recommendation. On the day of the event, he was punctual, splendidly attired in a kilt, and stayed longer and played more than required.
Thank you James for your outstanding contribution as we bade our matriarch farewell!

Epic!

James came through corn field playing "Amazing Grace" at my best friend's graveside, just after the procession had arrived, and the Pastor had quoted a line from "Brave Heart" ("They are saying good-bye in their own way, playing outlawed tunes on outlawed pipes").
It was one of her most Adamant last requests (being Scottish), as she was so very proud of her heritage. James ended the service with "Scotland the Brave", which everyone knew (Scottish or not!)
P.S. it was 40 degrees Celsius with humidity & he was sweating buckets in his full kilt/outfit, but James played on like a trooper!

Wonderful Performance!

Greetings: I loved having James Sawyer and his drummer perform for my retirement function at Metro Hall. James and his partner were right on time arriving, played almost continuously throughout the 1.5 hours, and did a masterful job. In the Scottish tradition. Thank you so much, lads. I highly recommend this pipe and drum combination for any special event. Blessings on you!

James was great!

He showed up at the church on time and did his warm up in the car when there wasn't anywhere inside he could do it because there was already a mass going on. He also took the initiative to keep playing a bit longer when the priest was a bit slow to arrive at the back of the church. My family enjoyed his playing and he seemed like a good guy.
