Bagpiping for all occasions. Military piper and competition piper. I work with you to determine the tunes best for your occasion. I've been piping for over 15 years and give beginner piping lessons. I've performed at weddings, funerals, military honors, event promotions, retirements, birthday parties and memorials. I also play in an award winning competition band who has played with Gaelic Storm, Seven Nations, Rod Stewart at venues in and around Cleveland OH. Call at (phone number hidden) or (email hidden)
Michael did a fantastic job. He communicated very well leading up to our event, showed up early, and was excellent. Everything went very well. Highly reccomend. Thank you!
Wonderful bagpiper, great experience from start to finish! We hired Michael Henry to play his bagpipes outside the venue as the guests entered for my daughter‘s wedding last weekend in Cleveland. He is a great musician, reliable and prompt and totally looks like a highland piper too! Great experience with Michael Henry and with the whole gigsalad booking process
Response from Michael Henry - Highland Piper:
Thank you for your kind words. I’m glad I was able to make it a special day for your family.
Michael Did a great job at the burial have recommended him to others
Michael Henry was impressive with playing the bagpipes for my moms funeral
Michael was an incredible addition to our wedding ceremony and made the day that much more special.
Michael was exactly what we are looking for. He impressed all of our guests with our grand exit from the Church. He was accommodating and did an incredible job. Highly recommend Michael to play at your wedding.
We all enjoyed the bagpipes on March 17 th. He was right on time and was amazing!
Michael performed at my grandmothers funeral, not only was he incredibly easy to work with and very kind. His performance was beautiful, there was not a dry eye in the house when his bag pipes started at the end of the service. He is extremely talented and his performance was exactly the send off we wanted for my grandmother.
My husband's gravesite service in Aurora was wonderful. Michael Henry created just the right mood and tone for the service with his selections. I cannot tell you how many of my friends commented on how his playing captured the moment. I will always remember what a wonderful job he did.... I only regret that I did not have an opportunity to actually speak with him that morning. Thanks you, Michael, for your added touch which made that morning in late September so memorable.
Response from Michael Henry - Highland Piper:
I was honored to be a part of his services.
Michael was a great addition to the service. He suggested additions to enhance the atmosphere, arrived early, and was easy to work with.
Michael piped at our Robert Burns Supper, and did an excellent job. He was on time, cooperative, and flexible. He wore a traditional piper's outfit. His playing gave our event a true spirit of Scotland. He was personable, and joined us at the dinner table. Michael even brought smaller bagpipes, so he wouldn't drown out our singing of Auld Lang Syne. He added a lot to our Burns Dinner.
MICHAEL WAS WONDERFUL AT MY FATHERS MEMORIAL. PLAYED OUTSIDE BEAUTIFULLY, VERY MOVING.
What a superb experience. Mr. Henry did a wonderful job. It was a surprise gift for my son.
The look on my son's face when he realized it wasn't a recording was indeed priceless.
After the first notes he knew it was a real piper. Then Mr. Henry came into view, what a delightful evening.
I couldn't have had a better piper. My son was overjoyed.
Michael was a fantastic piper! He has a wide range of songs, knows his history, and is an absolute joy!
He really brought a special flair to our event!
It was a special performance as the subject of the memorial had requested Amazing Grace played with bagpipes! And Michael Henry delivered!!
There were very good, but they only played for 20 minutes. There were 10 minutes late. I paid for 30 !!
Response from Michael Henry - Highland Piper:
My apologies for being late, but it’s often beyond our control on St Patricks Day when other venues are involved and drive time between them.
Made our mother’s 80th birthday party special. Thank you again Michael!
Thanks you Michael. You played wonderful and really make the funeral very special. Very professional and timely. Would highly recommend!
a real delight...great fun...great stories....great music
We made online arrangements and he delivered beautifully as we laid my mom to rest. Thank you so very much.
Response from Michael Henry - Highland Piper:
I’m glad I could help in your time of need
Great job!
The bagpiper was very professional and did an amazing job. My father's 1 request was to have a bagpiper to play Highland Cathedral at his funeral, and Bagpiper for Any Occasion came through in a pinch. Lots of appreciation from our family.
Michael piped for our wedding and I’m so glad I hired him! My husband’s grandmother immigrated from Scotland in the 50’s and it was such a great surprise for her! Michael was amazingly talented and easygoing! Thank you!!
We wanted a bagpiper for my father's funeral. We wanted to celebrate our family's Scottish ancestry and my father's military service. Mike was quick to respond and kept in contact with me throughout the planning process. He arrived on time and played our requested tunes perfectly.
He was there on time and did a great job
He was great. Thank you for being there.
Such a nice gentleman. I honestly didn’t even get to see him the day of the wedding but my husband did and said how nice he was. He was easy to communicate with prior to the wedding. Highly recommend him!
Response from Michael Henry - Highland Piper:
Thank you for your kind words. I was glad to be a part of your special day. The ceremony of sand was a unique way to represent the union of your two families. That will remain with me forever. Best wishes in your new life with your new family.
The piper arrived on time and did everything as expected very exceptional service. Will use again in the future and will also recommend to everybody
Mr. Henry was very courteous & respectful at the service. I wasn't sure how things would go but he walked me through it. I would definitely hire him again. Thanks Mr. Henry!
Nice guy, great job, eaasy to book
Did an awesome job would definitely recommend him
The children, and adults too, enjoyed marching behind Mike as he snaked around the backyard and into the house to the new pub in the basement🍺🍺
Michael D. Henry made my father’s funeral a beautiful, memorable tribute to him. I would highly recommend Michael. He was gracious, professional and very accommodating.
Michael arrived early for the memorial service. He was scheduled to play at the end of the service. The service ran an hour over the expected time. I appreciated him staying -he played beautifully and I received many compliments.
He was professional. He showed up early and played beautifully. It was a wonderful tribute for a man with Irish roots. It was a touching addition to the military honors that were provided by the honor guard.
Michael Henry was prompt and courteous and presented himself in a professional manner. I would recommend him for your affair.
I recommend Bagpiper for any occasion to everyone! He communicated with me, putting my mind at ease. He showed up early and ready to play. He looked and acted appropriate. His pipe playing was phenomenal! If you are looking for a Bagpiper, you want to hire Michael Henry! You will be so glad you did!
