Jackie Sim:

“Callum played the bagpipes for us at my dads 90th birthday celebrations at Highgrove House. Callum was reliable, very well mannered and very smartly turned out. He spoke with us prior to the event asking us what the event was for, how long we wished him there for and if there was anything in particular we wished played as well as taking the time to speak with my dad when he finished. We were highly impressed with his skill of the pipes , which was high praise from a previous piper. I would have no hesitation in recommending Callum and would certainly ask him for future family events.”

James Seger:

“We had Callum for a small outdoor wedding. His communication in advance of the event was excellent. He is a skilled piper, showed up on time and ready, and was very accommodating to our impromptu organization and changes. He was ready to do what we requested and when things didn’t go exactly as planned he adapted in the moment to make things work. On top of all of that, because of how events unfolded I ended up with about half an hour to hang out with him while waiting and found him to be pleasant company. For these reasons, I highly recommend him and I can not identify a single reason why someone would not be happy having chosen him for their event!”

Claire Goldie:

“My 8 year old son was keen to start playing the bagpipes. Callum was recommended by a family friend. My son absolutely loves his chanter lessons, looking forward to them each week with such enthusiasm. Even his motivation to practice between lessons has never wavered. This enthusiasm and motivation has been created by Callum – his positivity, his love for music, his nurturing, fun, friendly yet informative and structured approach to teaching has been invaluable in building my son’s confidence and his ever growing love for the bagpipes. As a parent to see your child so happy in a learning environment brings piece of mind, relief and happiness that we found Callum!”

George Henderson:

“My wife and I hired Callum to pipe at our wedding. We could not have asked for a nicer more accommodating person who went out of his way to help make our day so special. I could not have wished for a better piper and would recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much, Mr & Mrs Henderson.”

Stephen & Susan Cole

“Having Callum play at our wedding was amazing, the bride had no idea it was happening. Callum was outstanding and professional throughout. He is an exceptional talent and worth the very reasonable price. I would encourage everyone to use his services and book early as this young man will be in high demand the more people see and hear him.”

Gillian Garven:

“My son goes to Callum for chanter lessons and really enjoys it. Callum has made him feel very comfortable at lessons and has a great approach to teaching children. Highly recommend.”
