"This Piper was a God-send. He became involved in the Commemoration of Outbreak of War service at the last minute, stepping up to help in an emergency, and was a real asset to the Church.
His playing is exemplary- and the moving, haunting sound enabled everyone to connect deeply with the poems and readings, the honouring and remembering, and the moving of all of us on to commit ourselves to peace. I have no hesitation in recommending him for church services and hope to see him at weddings in the Upper Kennett Benefice.

"We would just like to say 'Thank you so much' for making our wedding day so special! Everyone was really surprised that you were there to play us out of church and your bagpipe music was beautiful and so fitting to our special day. It was definitely one of the highlights to our day as it gave me goose bumps when I turned around and saw you standing in front of us. Everyone thought you were great! If we ever have another family celebration we will not hesitate to contact you to play for us, and that includes recommending your services to others!" Mr and Mrs G, Swallowfield - |

"Thank you very much for your wonderful contribution to the ashes committal service at the Cemetery for my father, Major AJP.
Many of the members of the family and friends were very complimentary about the music.
For me your playing was very fine and evocative and at just the correct mood. I thought the processions worked well also, and gave great dignity to the occasion.Thank you too for altering the order of service at the last minute and letting us sing two verses of Amazing Grace. My sister was very insistent and your flexibility let all go smoothly.
I do hope I have the chance of hearing you play again and you certainly can be sure that I shall pass on my recommendation when I have the opportunity" Angus.P - |

"Hiring him to pipe for us at our recent wedding was an excellent decision and we'll never forget the pleasure it gave us all. He played tunes chosen from his wide repertoire, plus a new one that we requested (I am sailing) and which he learned and played perfectly. Our guests all expressed their delight at hearing his pipes playing the Wedding March as I walked in, and other tunes after the wedding. It made the Register Office atmosphere a lot less formal. He was reliable and punctual and we would not hesitate to recommend him." Vivien Spedding - Wedding |

"Dear Peter
I am the niece of Pte Thomas Rooney recently honoured at the ceremony at Fort Pitt Military Cemetery
Chris Barker sent me the video of the ceremony and I would like to thank you for playing.
It is wonderful to see my uncle honoured nearly 100 years after his death.
My only regret is that his parents and siblings aren't alive to see it.
I grew up with stories from my Aunts (my father was only four when he went to war so had limited memories) about their elder brother Tom and how wonderful he was.
One of my Aunts had kept all the memorial cards and letters concerning Tom. I think it was a great wrench in their lives when he died.
I have been to Fromelles where he was injured and to Fort Pitt School (the hospital he was in) and Fort Pitt Cemetery, so the ceremony was somethi" - piping for the veterans of WW1 |

You were Amazing! Thank you so much for everything you did for us yesterday. You played a major part in the day and everyone was commenting on how professional you were!
