Thanks Tony.
Mr. White performed for our Memorial Day service at church. He arrived early and was briefed by our producer and stayed both services. Great to work with.

We hired Robert for our Latin and Friends Irish Celebration. He was on time and played for along time a variety of songs. The crowd enjoyed his music very much.

When he did the performance, the people were doing the line for the food, so most of them were not interested in listening to him.

Bob did a very nice job. He was on time and helped coordinate timing of events with the minister and the honor guard. He made thoughtful suggestions about the music selections. He traveled from another state to help us.

Robert White helped make my daughter’s day everything she had dreamed of! A phenomenal piper and such a warm, kind person! We enjoyed his music and his company!

Mr. White was so considerate and kind. He assured me that he would work everything out just right to perform at just the right time at my father's graveside service, and he did just that. He even played an extra song as we entered. He played beautifully and added such a special touch to the service. He is gifted with a wonderful talent and the sound of the bagpipes brought comfort. He even talked with me afterwards to ensure that I was satisfied. I highly recommend him to others. He is great.

My husband was in hospice at the time but also this day was his birthday. This was a surprise for him, bagpiper music. He loved it. The guests loved the music. Robert mingled well with the guests. He was awesome and I would use him again.

Robert turned up sick the Wednesday before or Saturday event. He called in a timely manner and made sure that we were aware that he would not be able to play. I then posted an SOS message and was able to book another bag pipe player.
It was not exactly how we thought it would go, but, all is well that ends well. We had a great bag pipper for our daughters wedding and it was a good example of professional musicians working together in real life situations.

Robert, I wanted to take a moment to thank you once again for being there and performing once again for my mother in law's funeral. You mad the special occasion all the more personal and wonderful. Thank you for helping me do it properly. May God bless you. MSG. Alan Bake
