My father in law’s memorial service couldn’t have been better. He was a lifelong fan of the bagpipes (I even had the good fortune of seeing the famous Black Watch in Seattle with him many years ago). Mathew’s skilled playing and respectful demeanor perfectly complemented the service, and the man we were memorializing.
Mathew got there early and played his heart out. He was a real professional and everyone thoroughly enjoyed his performance.
Absolutely fantastic!! Very quick to answer texts. Our new son in law who is Scottish. He said thst Matthew is very authentic. The best piper he has ever heard!! Lots of different melodies/songd. He explained how the instrument works snd displayed this as well. Everyone LOVED him!!
Very prompt responses. Very talented bag piper with many song choices. A fantastic show! Also all around nice and easy to work with
Matthew was great. He played really well, and was flexible about where he played in the room so that it wasn't too loud for residents. He also answered questions from the audience when he was finished playing.
Pulled through for us at the last minute. Cannot thank him enough for what he did for our event.
Matthew did such a wonderful job playing for my husband's memorial service. I had him playing outside as people arrived. So many people commented on how much it added to the day.
Matthew was very kind and was accommodating to my preferences. Playing Amazing Grace at the end of the service was the perfect ending.
M husband always wanted a bagpipe playing at his memorial. I am so happy I could do it.
Great job Matthew.
Matthew was everything I like in a bagpiper. He was personable, on time, and played perfectly. We were able to discuss particulars prior to the memorial service and he confirmed my choices of music as well as suggesting additions of his own. Matthew was dressed in full regalia and his piping gave a fitting finale to our event. He mingled easily with attendees between sets as well as checking with me to make sure my expectations were being met. I was so fortunate to have found Matthew Fleek at the last minute through GigSalad!
Matthew is fantastic. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed him.
Matt was brilliant! He was very accommodating and great to work with. He arrived on time and ready to play. Matt even worked with me on song selection for my husband's retirement party. Matt was perfectly dressed even though the weather was blistering! Authentic Scottish attire! Completely made our event a memorable one.
Matthew did an outstanding job
Mr. Fleek delivered 100% on request for a Scott's send-off. Forever grateful.
Matthew Fleek did a fantastic job as part of our tribute to a teacher and coach. Through driving rain and wind, he captivated the crowd at our golf tournament with his performance. We are very grateful and will seek out Mr. Fleek again should the need arise.
This young man fought terrible traffic and lack of parking to come 50 miles away and play a service. He showed up early and played beautifully I would recommend him to anyone
Matt arrived on time, he interacted well with the group, he played not only the selected songs but played along when he was asked to play an AC/DC song! Matt did an amazing job, the tunes were great and as I expected, he brought a number of attendees to tears. Thanks Matt, you made this event SO SPECIAL, see you next year!
He was early, friendly, and attentive.
It was already a tough day with the wildfires, but Matt was prepared and easy going. The music was beautiful and was exactly what we wanted.
Would highly recommend.
An excellent performance.
Matthew was the perfect choice for our event. Even though it was a cold day, and the memorial service ran very long, he was patient and respectful and professional. I would definitely book him again, should an occasion arise.
Matthew did a fantastic job for our homecoming celebration. We'd highly recommend you book him for your next event.
Matthew was on time, professional and sensitive to the needs of the funeral service. He played perfectly and we would be proud to hire him again if the need arises. I recommend him!

His performance of Amazing Grace was perfect. Couldn’t have been better. He provided the perfect ending to the memorial service for my father. I highly recommend Matthew Fleek for anyone looking for a beautiful bagpipe performance.
Great Bagpiper and personable, a real crowd pleaser!
Matt did an outstanding job. He was professional, prompt, and played great.
Thank you so much Matthew for coming out to Gleneagle Golf Course and playing a few Marches with the Bagpipes! What a perfect performance to start of our morning tournament. Matthew was easy to work with and a highly professional. Everyone enjoyed!!!!!!
Beautiful bagpipe music that thrilled my Scottish relatives.
Matthew kept in contact with me letting me know he had arrived and was getting ready outside. I didn't have anything else to worry about. The service continued and right after the honor guard presented the flag, he began. It was absolutely beautiful. The way he faded away at the end was touching. We will never forget.
Perfect performance for the occasion
Matthew called to verify time. He showed up and was ready as planned. His music was exactly what we needed for our event. Thankyou for your help in making our walk memorable. It was perfect
Mr Fleek graced our military Dining about with his pipes. He was quick to communicate, offered great suggestions for timing and tone of his playing. He was timely and did an amazing job playing. I highly recommend him for anyone's event!
Matthew played at the graveside of my father's inurnment. We really could not have improved upon his contribution in any way. He not only played the selections we requested, but he learned a new one for us, per my father's request. He arrived early, was wearing traditional clothing, and remained a respectful yet noticeable distance form our service. His finishing "Amazing Grace" rendition played as he slowly descended from the gravesite. Further, his bagpipe was a gorgeous instrument with a clear and lovely tone. The whole family was so grateful for Matthew.
From start to finish, Matthew was a thorough professional. Family and friends were enthralled with his surprise performance. There was dancing and toasting with wee drams. We plan to have Matthew back each year for our special St. Patrick's Day celebration. Definitely a five star performance. Thank You! The Reece Clan
The gig started off on the right foot. Matthew arrived on time, ready to play. When he made his appearance the gym went sighlant then the sounds of the pipes filled the room. Professional experience and will be loooking forward to having him play again,
The funeral at sea for my husband Rick was unforgettable due to the bag pipe music of Matthew Fleek. His presence made the ceremony, beautiful, solemn and spiritual!
Thank you Matthew!
When my sister Lori passed away at only 49, I want to do something special, letting everyone know that the world had lost an amazing person. I thought about people of greatness, and remember many ocasion on T.V. when important people had passed away bagpipes would always be playing. I just love the sound and idea, so started looking for bagpiper, I had no idea, how I was going to find the right player. After browsing throught Gig Salads lists of bagpipes, reading a few reviews; "Thinking I wish there more" left me still not sure, so with a quick swipe of my scolling finger (like I was spinning a wheel) saying a few prayers of course as the browser click, chick, clicked down the page and finally stopping on Matthew Fleek....The Good Lord answered my prayers.
Matthew made a dream come true! When he stated playing everyone knew someone special was being celebrated.
Matthew was an absolute delight to work with, from beganing to end; we received a timely quote, Matthew communicated well prior to the event, he arrived on schedule per our conversation, the sounds of his bagpipes were absolutely breath taking, and his attire was sharp as a tack.
God answered my prayers sending me Matthew. I hope this review reaches you when you need a pagpiper, because Matthew is a must hire.
Pagpiper Matthew Fleek is that special person you are hoping to find!
Sincerely,
Mark Rogge
Matthew played at my mother in-laws funeral. He was on time, professional, courteous, respectful and kind. His bagpipes are amazingly haunting and beautiful at the same time. Every person in the room was in tears. If you need an amazing bagpiper I highly recommend Matthew!
Matthew's performance for my mom's 85th birthday party was amazing. He was very professional, played beautifully, and was open to creative ideas. His willingness to travel down dirt roads and play while walking though a forest on uneven ground was so appreciated. As my mom stated afterwards, "my birthday was already wonderful, but Matthew made it perfect". Thanks to Matthew, a special event became even more memorable.
Matthew has played at the Relay for Life of Kent for the past few years. Aside from being responsible, dependable, flexible, kind and caring, he is an amazing musician. His haunting bagpipe music makes our Luminaria Ceremony one of the most special and memorable parts of our event.
Matthew played a the beautiful piece Amazing Grace at my mother in laws memorial service. It was lovley and very moving. He had great suggestions that made the moments very special. He arrive early to the service to be sure he met all our expectations. Highly recommended!

You can expect a very high level of professionalism, great piping, and peace of mind that you made the right decision.
I begun playing bagpipes on Thanksgiving Day 2000, I have dubbed myself the "Pumpkin Pied Piper". I have performed at too numerous to have kept track of weddings, funerals, parties, birthday parties, retirement parties, and many other random things.
During my time in the Marine Corps I played a numerous memorial services for fellow Marines and their families, and played at several other Marine Corps functions.
I currently play with the Keith Highlanders Pipe Band (Seattle), and have been piping for 18 years.
In order for the bagpipes to settle into their environment and sound nice, it takes about 10-30 minutes of warm up time prior to the start of the event.
Tune selection is available on a per gig basis.
Simply put, if you would like a certain tune played just ask and if I know it I can play it at your event.
