Response from Universal Bagpipes:
Thank you Shana! It was such a fun event! It was great to have met you all. If there's ever another mule performance like this again and you need another piper, you know who to call. Next time, I'll bring the peanut butter whiskey...lol

Piper Gunn
I met piper gunn out of mix in communication with a gig. Basically me and him both were booked to play the same gig. So me and him both got tuned up together and we played the gig together. Piper gunn is a very experienced bagpiper with a lot of years playing.
As a fellow piper I will recommend him if you are looking for a piper to play for your event.
Bagpiper was a lovely touch to the whole Homegoing event...excellent performer...Mr Gunn
Booked last minute and he made the 2 hour trip for surprise birthday party and was the highlight of the night! Very grateful and everyone enjoyed bagpiper!
Jason could not make it but he had someone ready to take his place. The replacement was late ( he said traffic wreck) we started and was going to skip him. We held up the program as long as we could. Right when we started he ran in the door. Still think Jason is better. Sorry we missed him.
Response from Universal Bagpipes:
I am so sorry! I really wish I could of been there! But, my life has taken a turn. I will have a talk with him.
All the best! Piper Gunn
Jason arrived earlier than requested and was a wonderful edition to our Memorial Day Ceremony.
Showed up right on time at a difficult place to find, was dressed to the hilt, even a kilt...lol.
Did a great job!
Response from Universal Bagpipes:
Thank you Brent! It was an honor to play for your Father! All the best! Piper Gunn
Jason(Piper Gunn) is such a WONDERFUL piper, and such a fabulous guy! He worked with us in every way, everyone adored him, and he shared fab intel about the history of his Scottish ancestors, and their history of piping. He was such a treat, definitely became an instant friend, and by the end of the night, everyone wanted his number for other events! Seriously, they wouldn't stop tipping him, he won us all over!! My dad cried, he was that good!!!
Response from Universal Bagpipes:
I am in tears! I can't thank you enough for let play in celebration of you Dad's birthday. I had so much fun. You all are awesome...Piper Gunn

We will definitely look forward to booking Jason again.
Response from Universal Bagpipes:
Thank you Roy! Brandon the snare drummer and I had so much fun performing for you crew to honor Jeff Lam. All the best...Piper Gunn
Piper was OUTSTANDING. He contacted me promptly and was well acquainted with the funeral home and cemetery we used. He even knew the people there, so could coordinate with them directly. This was a huge gift to me, since i was coordinating piano player, family arrivals, pastor, programs, speakers, etc. etc. etc. Piper played as my mom was being carried to the hearse, then went to the graveside and played for us there. Bagpipes have a majestic, mournful quality to them, and reverberating in our bones and souls for days. Thank you, Piper! You're the BEST!
Response from Universal Bagpipes:
Thank you so much. I am glad I was available to play... All the best! Piper Gunn

Jason did a fantastic job the minute I got in contact with him. He was very quick with his responses and polite. He was very patient with our requests. He was way ahead of time and prepared at my Grandfather’s service. The whole family was very pleased. Thank you so much for making it special!
Response from Universal Bagpipes:
Thank you! Again, I am so sorry for your loss!
My Father once told me, " care less for the money and more for the customer, and you will do well!"
The bagpipes were exactly what we wanted. As our guests walked from the ceremony to the reception hall they were thrilled to hear and watch the bagpipe player. Everyone really enjoyed the unexpected treat. Good communication and easy to work with.

It was an honor to play for your guests and your family! Thank you for hiring Universal Bagpipes. All the best!
