CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Very knowledgable. Helped me to figure out what I really wanted. Best part is never had to worry, in fact I forgot all about him until I showed up and heard him playing at the church...I started my big day with a huge smile because of him.

Bob was a joy to have. Our crowd was totally taken with the border pipes he used for our indoor "Celebration of Life" ceremony for my Mom. For such a wonderful and classy performer it was really nice of him to take such a small gig like our gathering, but his presence there (which was Mom's heart's desire to have pipes) made all the difference! He was even patient enough to show my 4-year-old daughter how they worked. If he'll travel to your event, and he travels far, he's the piper you want.

Robert Mitchell did a great job! He is very talented with the playing of his Pipes and enjoys sharing his heritge with others and demonstrates it beautifully through his music. I would love to have him back and or recommend him to someone else.

Mr. Bob Mitchell was a delight from the moment he arrived. Both he and his fidler arrived early and tuned their instruments so that everything began right on time, and at the appointed hour. He and his friend, a fidler, were very professional and very congenial and easy to work with. They accommodated the requests of my doctors to play various songs and even a special Happy Birthday to one of the doctors for his 50th birthday which happened to be the very night of our Christmas party. Bob dressed in a kilt which was lovely, he looked the part for our Scottish party and he also demonstrated that he has great talent with the bagpipes. I was thrilled that the high pipes he used to pipe in the food were just as lovely as the low pipes which played Highland Music un the background to the delight of our many guests. I would definitely recommend Bob to my friends or anyone who needed a great bagpiper! He is welcome at Foxhall Castle anytime! He contributed to the wonderful time had by all.

Robert did an excellent job at my Country Club event and was a big hit with all the members who attended. I would certainly recommend him to family and friends and will use him again myself if the opportunity arises. He was extremely professional and accommodating and I was completely satisfied with his performance. He is a very talented bag pipe player. Please pass on my compliments. Thanks.

I contacted Robert Mitchell though Gigmasters and he responsed very quickly. He sent a sample of his music and I contracted with him to play at our St. Patrick's Day happy hour. He brought a fiddle player and cellist with him and they played a variety of tunes, from lively to soulful, fitting the bill perfectly. The musicians were all wonderful and everyone at our party enjoyed them immensely. If the luck of the Irish holds, we have started a tradition and will be able to have them back again next year! I could not have been happier or more satisfied with the whole experience.

Robert Mitchell did a fantastic job playing at our wedding. Robert played the processional and recessional musical pieces and the border pipes he choose to play were perfect for our indoor wedding.
We are so glad we choose Robert - many thanks!!!

Bob was great and very personable too. We had a glitch about six weeks before the wedding when we lost our minister. The new one we got couldn't accommodate our time because of another wedding. Bob was wary because he had a wedding after ours. We were able to work it out to everyone's satisfaction because he was willing to be flexible.
The music was wonderful. He sent me the names of pieces so I could include that information in the wedding program.
We spoke for a bit right before he left and it turns out that we had seen him perform with a certain Celtic band. We know many of the same people in the Celtic music world.
I would highly reccommend him.

Fantastic - Bob worked with me on very short notice, provided all the services I requested, and did so in a professional and unobtrusive manner. I was very pleased with his performance; he added a very pleasant touch to my wedding reception's ambiance.
