Royal Marines Piper surpasses expectations
Challene G booked Royal Marines Piper for their event in Staffordshire
“Everyone has a basic expectation of a Piper on Burns Night. The Royal Marines Piper was astounding. First impression was his impeccable turn out in the uniform. The piping was phenomenal. He played for 10 minutes before dinner to an audience of varying ranks some extremely Senior. This was done with confidence and of a superb ability. He then piped the Top Table in, which was an honour to walk behind him whilst listening to him play. The set during the mains had people stop eating as he engulfed the room with his playing. I would highly recommend for any event. Superb, many thanks. Charlie Gilbert”
