A wonderful addition to our ceremony.
Duncan is a true gentleman with a beautiful, timeless talent to be shared. Our event was an Irish themed 65th birthday dinner-party in RI where Duncan drove several hours to perform for our family plus 120 guests. Prior to the event, Duncan was communicative via email and phone, assisting with our specific needs. His professionalism did not go unnoticed (especially during these times where true professionalism is hard to find.) At the party, Duncan was prepared for the unexpected when our guest of honor requested her own song of choice. What's more, she was able to recognize all the songs Duncan had specially hand-picked for her happy occasion! She said, having Duncan there at her party made her night complete!
Duncan went above and beyond! He played all the songs we wanted and made my sister's burial solemn and beautiful.
Thanks for your professionalism and for sharing your art with our family
So grateful.he accommodated us on such short notice. He played beautifully, and brought us to tears, in a good way. I would absolutely hire him again.
It was pouring rain for my mother’s funeral. It was even wet inside the tent we provided for heists. Duncan was friendly, played my requests and played requests of my brother-in-law. He arrived early and was enjoyed by everyone. He was already known by one of the guests. He had played at her husband’s burial!
Duncan did a wonderful job... truly amazing and would highly recommend him....
