EventReviewed on May 27, 2017From White Rock, BC

Having Joe and his bagpipe was exactly what was needed to get the evening off to a good start, and which was maintained throughout the evening. Joe has the right sense when to play the pipes and for how long. He fit in with all the guests and was very much part of the evening. It was with great delight I hired him, and with complete satisfaction that he was a major part of my 75th Birthday Celebration. Skilled, educated, knows his role, makes others feel good in his company. Would hire again? definately. Attendees were close friend, especially invited. A major part of the evening. I have seen him perform before, and his standards are the very highest.

FuneralReviewed on May 17, 2017From Burnaby, BC

Joe played at our Aunts funeral, he knew the pieces by heart, and played very professionally on piano and organ. He was curious and prompt for event, giving us extra musical pieces to fill in where necessary.

FuneralReviewed on August 8, 2014From Joseph, OR

Joe was a joy. He came to our far away funeral and did a great job. I would, of course, recommend him again. He added tradition, depth and completeness to the funeral of my father, grandmother and uncle. He was prompt, professional, and flexible. I can't say enough good about hime. Thanks so much. He is the real deal. - Bob G. Johnson

CelebrationReviewed on May 24, 2014From Jack, AL

Joe played piano tunes from the 40s and 50s while people gathered for a celebration of life. Every tune we suggested was in his repertoir. After the eulogy at the end of presentations, he played the bagpipes, begining with an appropriate march as he walked among the tables, and ending with a medley. Many people wiped theirs eyes as he marched around. A great performer and a fine man to work with!

FuneralReviewed on April 28, 2014From Cranbrook, BC

Joe's performance was perfect for the day, he brought a since of peace and comfort to all who attended. It was a memory of days gone by for some, and a new understanding for others. Thank you Joe

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on August 8, 2011From Langley, BC

Our venue and timing changed shortly before the wedding and Joe was very professional and accomodating of our requests, and made arrangements with the minister as to the timing and flow of the ceremony and the whole thing was beyond beautiful :) Everything was perfect, and I would absolutly recommend him. Thank you so much Joe!

FuneralReviewed on April 11, 2008From Port Angeles, WA

Joe arrived in a timely manner. He was ready to perform when we were. He had a smile and willingness to please. I enjoyed his participation in our Memorial to our father. I would recommend him to anyone wishing to hear bagpipes played at their event.

FuneralReviewed on January 24, 2008From Delta, BC

Joe arrived on time to play at my son's funeral and performed wonderfully. His music was such an inspiration to us all in a very difficult time. I would hire him again and would recommend him without hesitation.

We had a lovely day and Joe's performance added so much to the occasion. Joe was punctual, professional and a great musician. All our guest commented on how great it was to have bagpipes at the wedding and how much they enjoyed Joe's performance. I would highly reccomend Joe!

ChristeningReviewed on April 18, 2007From Vancouver, BC

Considering that we wanted him for a 'wake' for a piece of art that was leaving the city, he couldn't have been more accomodating. We would recommend him to any one for any occassion.
