Feedback
- We were very pleased to have Bill participate in our Reformation Sunday Worship Service. He assisted me in selecting music that could accurately be played on a bagpipe with its limited scale. Overall, it was a great experience. -- Michele S, Port Hueneme, CA, 10/25/2009
- Bill was COMPLETELY AMAZING!!!! He was an incredible player, and was so great! He had the surprise for my fiance perfect!!!!! He looked incredible, and I would hire him again in one second! Best Bagpiper Ever!!!!! -- Hilary T, Santa Barbara, CA, 8/29/2009
- Bill was fantastic . . . not just in his performance, but with providing suggestions on planning the memorial service. Several of the people at the service commented on what a great bagpiper Bill was.
I sincerely recommend Bill for any event that would benefit from including a bagpiper! -Sue -- Sue M, Simi Valley, CA, 9/28/2008
