October 21, 2024Excellent experience
I hired JB to play at the Graveside Service for a relative. While I don't play the bagpipe, I am well versed in music. JB is a professional player, who charges very reasonable price for his service. Very nice and dependable! He was great about giving recommendations of songs that would sound good with pipes for my Gig. I highly recommend JB for your next event!

I hired John to play the bagpipes at our wedding. He was wonderful! He was very responsive and was willing to play the songs we asked for. He was flexible and easy to work with during the planning phase of our wedding, and he had lots of great recommendations for our ceremony! His performance was fabulous, and all of our wedding guests were so impressed! It was so cool to add the touch of bagpipes to our wedding ceremony, and I am so happy that John was willing to play for us! Thank you, John!

John was the perfect addition to my family reunion. Not only is he an amazing bagpiper, he taught us about the bagpipe. My family loved him! I highly recommend John for all you bagpipe needs.

March 7, 2023Outstanding Bagpiper!
Mr. J. B. Griffith played for my mom's 80th Birthday party. He arrived early in full regalia, was well-prepared and played all of my mom's favorite songs-including many traditional tunes as well as the theme from Outlander. He is an incredible piper and really rattled the hall rafters at the venue. My mom was overwhelmed with tears of joy. Mr. J. B. is a fine man and very knowledgeable about Scotland and Ireland. We definitely plan to book him for our next celebration. Thank you Mr. J. B. for making my mom's birthday extra special !!
