• Thank you Robert for Playing the Bagpipes for our military appreciation night. Your performance for the last 6 years has been superb and I hope to book you for many years to come. The ceremony of you playing “Amazing Grace” and “Going Home” was excellent. Our guests very impressed with your expertise and we had great comments on your “Military Medley” and your attire was perfect for the occasion. Your Bagpipes sounded beautiful. Thanks for helping to make this a very special occasion for all the great veterans who have served our country in the past and the present. They loved your performance!!

• Robert performed at a Military Funeral for our family at New Bern National Cemetery in North Carolina. We found him to be very knowledgeable and helpful in understanding military protocol and traditions. He was extremely flexible with scheduling. Robert was very dependable, and we found him to be a man of great character. His appearance was immaculate and his performance added such a touch of class to this service. We highly recommend Robert to any one who would like Bagpipes performed at their event. -- Vickee Hinton M, New Bern, NC, 10/12/2011
• Mr. White was great! My family hand I booked him for my wedding at a garden and we were the only ones to know about him. After our pronouncement of husband and wife, he emerged from the trees and played "Mhairs Wedding". My husband and guests were so amazed and excited! We walked down the aisle to him playing and then the guests followed Robert as he played to the cocktail hour that we had set up in another part of the garden. It was all perfect. Robert was so great that at the cocktail hour the guests wanted his photo and he was in countless albums. Thank you Robert! It meant so much that we could share a piece of our heritage with our new family and guests. -- Lorna A, Fayetteville, NC, 10/8/2011

• Mr White did a fantastic job! He was "johnny on the Spot" and very professional. He was very personal to my grandfather and my family. I love that he explained the history of bagpipping and the instrument itself which was very intresting to know. He had chosen the perfect songs to play according to his audience & was accomadating to the setting in which he played. I would also like to thank him for being so kind to my grandfather. It is a birthday (90th!!) he'll never forget. The whole event brought a tear to his eye and we was speachless for the rest of the night. I would like to agian thank Robert White & I would recommend him to a friend anytime. -- Cory W, Raleigh, NC, 10/13/2007
