Pipes of Peace

Eric was tremendous!

Eric did a fantastic job piping our daughters wedding at The Griffin House in Hood River! He was so great to work with and had great suggestions. Beautiful and unique music for the ceremony.

He was prompt, friendly, and on it!

Eric was an awesome addition to my senior prank. I had him play for just a short time, but during that time he rocked the whole school. He marched the NEHS halls like a champ and gave the students a time to remember. He has clear communication, affordability, and is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend and will be reaching out in the future in the event that I will have bagpipe needs again.

Eric really made our wedding day special. He was communicative, showed up at the agreed time, and was friendly and great to talk to. We highly recommend him for your events!

I was so honored to have Eric play for the very special occasion. My cousin went missing in 1980 and was identified 40 years later. Tamara Lee Tigard, (April 18, 1959 - March or April 1980) previously known as "Lime Lady" was a young woman found murdered in 1980 in Oklahoma. She received her nickname from the quicklime poured over her body in an attempt to quicken decomposition, which had actually mummified her and preserved evidence. Eric was quick to respond with excellent communication up until the day we finally burred Tammy with her parents. Im forever grateful!

Great service and very easy to work with.

Excellent service. Very professional and conscientious. 10/10 would recommend.

My wife and i loved Erics performance on the beach . The sound of the waves and the sunset in the background was the perfect touch . Everyone came out on their balconies to listen and applaud. Seemed like everyone enjoyed it.
Wonderful !

Eric was great. Bandon Dunes even posted it to their Instagram.

Eric went above and beyond playing his bagpipes at my stepdad’s memorial service. In addition to playing Amazing Grace for us, he also provided a couple of pieces that he doesn’t ordinarily have to play and did everything beautifully. He was there ahead of time and my family got the opportunity to speak with him. He is a lovely gentleman and he and his music both uplifted the occasion. I and my family are very grateful for his participation in this important family event.

Eric was amazing. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. He is so great.

My father wished to have a solo bagpiper play "Amazing Grace" at his burial. I was able to secure Eric (Pipes of Peace) on fairly short notice, and we were very pleased with all aspects of the performance. We requested a couple of other songs, one of which was not a tune typically played on the pipes, but Eric tried to work up an arrangement of it anyway. He arrived early, coordinated with the minister, played as family arrived, then finished the service by playing "Amazing Grace" as he walked off into the distance. It was wonderfully stirring, and I'm sure exactly as my father imagined it would be.

The piper was on time and played my request of Amazing Grace along with other music while people arrived for the service. He wore a kilt even though it was very cold. He did a fine job.

He was amazing on time very polite played awesome songs and took pictures with my mom after the event super great entertainment thank you I would recommend Eric the bagpiper Any time for your party events

When my best friend passed. He requested a wake w bagpipes.
I found pipes of peace for the event. He met every expectations.
The event was a huge hit mainly due to his playing.
Well done!

My friend was supposed to go to Edinburgh for her 50th birthday. Obviously not able to go, we wondered how we could bring a little bit of Scotland to her. Pipes of Peace travelled a long distance to play for two people. He played on the street while his little son, in matching kilt, marched beside him with a Scottish flag. My friend cried her eyes out. It was incredibly touching and worth every penny. I highly recommend Pipes of Peace!

This is our fourth year of inviting Pipes of Peace to perform at our annual event and Eric never fails to disappoint. He is a prolific storyteller and his piping is extraordinary. Having Eric join us and share tales of the stories and history around the songs he plays is the highlight of our event. We can't recommend him enough.

Came on time and did a fantastic job. Very respectful of last minute requests- Looked so handsome in his kilt!

Eric showed up on time, in full regalia, playing his pipes as he walked up the road to the venue for my wife's75th birthday party. She was so moved she burst into tears. His music was enjoyed by all, and even inspired some scottish dancing. He was pleasant and anxious to please. Would recommend him highly.

I can’t tell you how special the pipes were to my wife, Sandi on her 70th birthday! She melted into tears. She’s a 1st generation Scot, far from her homeland and Eric took her back home for a wee while.

Very happy with Eric, he was very helpful in handling the event.

My sister Colleen and I had been successful in gathering our clan of 35 to Bend for the O'CONNOR FAMILY REUNION.But I wanted something to make this event a special experience! As a surprise I contacted ,through this great GIGSALAD site, PIPES OF PEACE.My review is 100% satisfaction . The man , his music, his professionalism and kind demeanor all added up to a beautiful background for our treasured family reunion!

I booked Eric for my father's service in March 2016. He arrived early in the family plaid and was very professional in our requests for music choices and entry into and out of the service at the cemetery. He does a beautiful job playing the bag pipes.

I booked Eric of Pipes of Peace for my husband's birthday party. The plan was for him to arrive at dusk and play the pipes at the top of a vineyard through sunset. Eric was prompt, professional, courteous and absolutely lovely to work with. And that has nothing to do with his phenomenal piping skills! The crowd was mesmerized and he played gorgeously throughout the evening. He charmed us with some gaelic toasts, played my husband's Clan song, wore the appropriate tartan, and told great historical stories of Scotland. It was truly a magical close to a fun party and Eric was patient and played much longer than we'd anticipated. We were very lucky to have him join us and I'd book him again in a minute.

We hired Pipes of Peace for our fathers memorial service. We were completely amazed at how beautiful he sounded. They were so helpful and professional in guiding us through this very difficult time. The owner of the funeral home said "I have heard many Bagpipes over the years, but none as wonderful as him". We feel blessed to have found Pipes of Peace. I'm sure our father was quite pleased. Thank you so much for making a difficult day a little easier.
