Just Wonderful!

I hired Adam to play the bagpipes at my Dads funeral and he aas really wonderful! Adam seemed to know exactly where to be and when to play (and when not to play). Not a dry eye in the crowd and my dad would have loved it. I recommend the professsional pipper 100%!!!

A wonderful goodbye

The piper played my husband out in June.
Amazing Grace was the tune.
Not a dry eye in the room. It was as wonderful send off for him who left too soon.

Piping at the Promotion Ceremony

Adam was superb, friendly, and very professional. He played beautifully at the close of the ceremony and everyone enjoyed his performance. I hope I have another opportunity to hire him!
Thank you Adam!
