Miles gave an amazing performance on Westlake Yacht Opening Day. He led the procession of officers and then later played Amazing Graze. I would definitely suggest him for your event.

Miles played for us at my nana’s ceremony of life and did an amazing job everyone loved him!
I cannot say enough positive things about Miles. He showed up early for my husband's celebration of life, and even though we started later which kept him later than planned since he played at both the beginning and the end of the service - he was most kind and generous with his time and talent. His selection of songs and the feeling he put into them was most appreciated by myself and my family. I received so many compliments from our guests and I am very pleased to say that Miles is a bagpiper I would book again and happily recommend to anyone.
Miles bagpipes really made our party.
He even played a reel so we could all dance with my visitors from Scotland
Was dependable and on time
Response from Miles Sweet:
Thank you for having me it was very fun to watch everyone dancing the reel!
Miles is a talented musician, a consummate professional, and a great guy. My experience with him in booking and planning was totally friction free, and his performance at the event was beyond expectation. He was a great communicator throughout the process and he made our event special and memorable. I've received many comments from attendees with glowing praise for him. I'm very happy we booked Miles and would highly recommend him. 10/10
Response from Miles Sweet:
Thank you for your very kind words.
I hope to perform for you again under a less solemn circumstance.
Miles came in just the perfect time as a surprise for my wedding. He was so good at the bag pipes everyone was so impressed and enjoyed his music. He was right on time and performed soo well. Very reliable.
Miles was perfect for the events we were throwing. He was professional, on time and a great person above all. We will definitely have him back for more in the future!
Miles is the absolute best. Great professional, terrific communicator, made everything leading up to the event so smooth and then absolutely rocked the event itself. Really brought great energy throughout the entire experience. I cannot recommend Miles enough.

An audience is going to see a musician comfortable in the zone and hearing music to the peak of my ability.
A Client would find me as one who is clean, punctual, and professional.
What I feel when I perform in front of people I can only come close to describing as euphoria. I love to perform and I love to see people enjoying music as much as I do. I have served in the Marines and am now a father and educator of Music and Chess.
I am fully contained and only request a power outlet for my speaker.
I have a Flute, Alto Saxophone, and Bagpipes.
