The Lone Piper did a GREAT JOB!! He definitely met ALL of our expectations. Thank you for making this day even more special!!

We decided at the last minute to have a bagpiper at my mom's funeral. All local bagpipers were unavailable on the date of the funeral, but the Lone Bagpiper was willing to drive quite a distance to be at the funeral. He always responded to my texts and phone calls, and assured me not to worry, He arrived early to the cemetery.
Suggested appropriate music
My mom would have loved it.

The Lone Piper arrived on time, was easy to communicate with, took direction well and waited patiently in cold and windy weather to play two songs for my dads graveside service. Not ideal conditions in a kilt, but he endured! Thank you!

Response from The Lone Piper:
Yes, the weather was a bit “fresh!”
I hope my performance added something special to your family’s memorial service.
Doug was fantastic, even when our funeral service veered off schedule. He quickly adapted and even suggested ways to overcome the delay we experienced. The music selections and music itself were on point. A true professional. I would recommend to anyone.

Response from The Lone Piper:
Jeff, Thank you for your kind review. It was an honor to perform for the funeral service for your brother, a fellow Army Veteran. My goal is to always exceed my clients’ expectations. I’m glad you felt I gave a proper memorial performance for your brother.
Very professional and did a great job...thank you.

About
I am a solo piper who will play bagpipes for your event or party. I will arrive at your event dressed in traditional Highland attire, and will play the tunes you desire. I may play one or two tunes at a ceremony, or 45-60 minutes of playing for a party. I currently perform with The Medinah Highlanders Pipes & Drums, and have attended the Balmoral School of Piping. I have played at several Law Enforcement Agency and private memorial services, and entertained at St. Patrick's Day parties.
