CLIENT FEEDBACK:
We hired Michael Lancaster to play the bagpipes for our wedding. His playing was not only wonderful, he was incredibly professional and helpful even when it started to rain! His online music selection made it easy to plan our ceremony music even though I was 100s of miles away. And his sincerity and love for performing was evident. We are deeply appreciative to Michael for helping to make our wedding ceremony such a memorable event.
Thank you,
Crystal & Douglas

Michael was great! We contacted him in February, and over the months he kept in touch. As our date grew closer, we got together for a run-through of songs, etc. He was very prompt in arriving for the wedding, performed exactly as we asked, and was such an asset to our day! I would definitely recommend him as a performer for other events!

We hired Michael to provide guitar music as a background for our Learning Cafe - an open learning bookstore environment/experiment we were trying for our annual conference of 1600 people. Michael was responsive, punctual, 100% accommodating of what we were trying to do, sought constant feedback that he was meeting our needs, and best of all, performed beautiful music that was greatly appreciated by our conference attendees. I'd welcome the opportunity to work with him; highest recommendation.

Michael came and did a presentation for our elementary school students with his bagpipes. He did an excellent job with holding their attention and making it appropriate for their age level. On top of that, his professionalism and musicianship are absolutely excellent. From one professional musician and educator to another, thank you very much! I would recommend Michael for any event!
