Michael, the bagpiper did just what Nancy needed. It got her into the holiday season and excited for Christmas. It made her day where she was giddy all day long. She it will take her into the new year. Her son-in-law, Cristopher and his wife knew Michael, which we didn’t know because they both play Celtic instruments. I am so glad I hired Michael and decided at the last minute to attend his performance. It was wonderful. I am so grateful for Michael and his music and skills. Thank you Michael for your ministry and may God continue to bless you. And, GigSalad thank you for offering such a wonderful service, making it easy to find such a wonderful themed related performance for someone that was very depressed. I wish all of you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Michael responded quickly, which is what I needed. He was able to do a funeral service for a family member on very short notice. Beyond his musical talents, Michael demonstrated professionalism and punctuality, a seamless performance from start to finish, his talent left a lasting impression on all who attended. I am truly grateful he was there and was able to perform.
He is highly recommended.
Michael did a great job playing for my loved one’s funeral. It was cold out but he showed up early and added so much meaning to the burial. Even though I booked him last minute, he did an incredible job. Highly recommend hiring him for any bagpiping needs you may have. Thanks again!
Could not have asked for a better experience for our wedding ceremony! Michael absolutely killed it! Was prompt and started playing right on time. Michael made this part of our day stress free and did his homework before hand. The arriving guests loved the addition and we had many compliments on how good the bagpipes sounded. Thanks for being part of our special day Michael!
Michael was awesome! He was attentive on time and the guests truly enjoyed his arrangement! So glad he was part of our special day!
The mournful bagpipes were beautifully played to honor my first generation Irish-American mother. It was a wonderful and fitting tribute at the end of her funeral. He was perfect! He was easy to work with, he was accommodating with the time we needed him at the funeral. I had complete confidence from the beginning when we first started talking.
He was punctual, very professional and excellent entertainment! I am so glad he agreed to play for us.
Response from Professional Musician and Bagpiper for Hire:
Thanks for having me, Nancy! Had a great time speaking with Bruce about the old country as well! Take care!
Did a fantastic job and very easy that work with!
Michael was easy to work with and very helpful with planning music for my father's memorial service. He was punctual and worked with the pastor upon arrival to determine the best location for him to perform in the sanctuary and when and how to usher the attendants out for the military honors portion of the ceremony. Michael was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend him!
The pipes contributed greatly to my daughter, wedding event. Much appreciated by all.
Was on time . Did a great job . Played the wedding march very beautifully .
Great job! Would gladly hire again.
Michael did an amazing job at my mother’s funeral service! He played beautifully and was easy to communicate with and plan the event! Highly recommend!
He was professional and prompt.
The bagpiper was wonderful. He endured the drizzling rain and provided a beautiful send off for my sister.
Michael did an utterly wonderful job of performing Amazing Grace at out Father’s Celebration.
Michael did a fantastic job!! It was absolutely perfect! He played Amazing Grace at my husband's funeral and played as the casket was carried out to the hearse. It was exactly what I wanted. Thank you!
Michael played "Amazing Grace" and "Scotland the Brave" at my father's memorial. Lovely. Michael's kindness and respect and patience made his participation more than the music.
Michael made my mother's funeral complete. He even learned the Michigan Fight Song--a tough ask for an Ohio man. Thank you for your courtesy, respect and talent.
This was the perfect way to honor my mother during her burial service.
The music was beautiful and very moving.
Micheal was there very early and was an important part of the day.
His touching version of Amazing Grace had most us in tears.
Well done!
WAS SO GREAT! MADE MY DAD'S DAY!
Arrived on time, very personable and professional!
Thank you Mike for your performance. My family loved the entrance and song choices and overall meeting you.
Best regards.
Communication was great as well as playing of the pipes. Definitely helped make my Mom's service a memorable event.
Good did everything requested and seemed interested in the task as appropriate for a funeral setting
The Bresson/Brennan Family celebration of life for our dearest Anne would not have been complete without the playing of the bagpipes we were honored to have Micheal Play the pipes in Granny Annie's Honor, Thank you so much
Michael was once again prompt and professional.
Michael was excellent and very professional. I was so appreciative of him to take the time to tune up with another bagpiper who he had not played with in the past. Their professional reputations were known by each other so I had no hesitancy. It was a testament to both of their amazing talents. They both were able to coordinate their dress Kilts for my brother's Mass which was very appreciated. I would definitely book Michael again.
His performance at my mothers funeral was beautiful. Along with his traditional uniform I couldn't ask for better. I know she was watching. A very sincere thanks.
