  • I owe huge thanks and appreciation to our wedding piper Jonathan Graham!Β From the start he was fantastic with the quickest communication and open to ideas. He piped us down the isle, and even when my nephew’s kilt fell down, he carried on piping until he had no breath left. Of course he was so professional and was happy & smiling the full day. I would definitely recommend his service, professionalism and quality of piping.

  • Jonathan piped at our wedding on Saturday 9th of April and it made the day! We had many visitors from England so the pipes were a must! From the chapel to arrival at the reception venue and piping us in for dinner he was amazing. Highly recommended! Thanks again.

  • Jonathan piped at my wedding on Saturday and can’t thank him enough for a fantastic service! Not only are his skills absolutely breathtaking, he was dressed impeccably in full Scottish regalia, and is just a down right top guy! Everyone loved him. Thank you so much Jonathan!

  • Jonathan played at a Memorial for my Mum. He was so thoughtful with the music he played and even managed to play Mum’s favourite song. Our family would highly recommend this lovely Piper. Thank you Jonathan

  • I arranged for Jonathan to play the pipes at my son’s wedding on 17th September 2016. He arrived with plenty of time to welcome guests with his music. He knew exactly where to be and when for the ceremony, and the entrance for the wedding meal. His playing was superb and he was immaculately dressed. Jonathan was happy to pose for photos too and was very courteous to us and our guests. Highly recommend Jonathan as part of your special occasion.
