“Do yourself a favour and book this company for whatever event you are planning. I called Liz 4 days before my dads funeral and was so grateful Barry was available. Liz made the booking process so smooth and Barry played the Bagpipes exceptionally well. They even gave us help / advice on how to stager the music. My dad was a true Scot and he made our celebration for dad so moving. Very reasonable rates and the service impeccable. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

“We engaged the services of Pipers of Distinction for our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic. Playing solo, as well as alongside our church organist, they added an extra dimension and emotion to our wedding, it was absolutely magical! In fact, many people have come back and told me it was the best wedding they have ever been to. Not only this, but Pipers of Distinction were also able to sort out kilt hire for many of our guests. This was invaluable, especially as many were travelling from Scotland. I am also pleased to report the kilts were of a very high quality. Happy to highly recommend Pipers of Distinction, as well as the owner Barry Gray's amazing piping skills. Would engage them again in a heartbeat!”

"Pipers of Distinction played at my wedding this year. Barry in particular did a spectacular job. He was so personable and willing to make my day so special. He played the theme song to Brave Heart when I walked down the aisle and everyone commented that it was the best part of the wedding. Barry is very talented and his team is so friendly. Definitely make Barry your number one choice when considering pipes do your event."
