Deborah
Roddy played a great selection from his repertoire welcoming guest from beginning of our wedding at Pratis Barns in Fife, which was brilliant for our friends and family who had traveled from England & Canada, he really sets the scene. He is a lovely, genuine man, who interacts well with all of your guests, adults and children. He is happy to have both formal and informal photos taken. He even took the time to help my husband sort his kilt 🙂 Last but not least he has the most fabulous wee wink as well! My husband and I both agree that Roddy brings his own bit of special magic to your event, you will not be disappointed!
Christophe
Roddy provided a once in a lifetime experience for us and our guests! Amazing piping and we loved the Address to the Chieftan Haggis. Whether you are looking for a piper for your wedding or entertainment for a night, we can highly recommend Roddy!
Peter
Roddy played at my daughters wedding at Cromlix House Hotel on 21 July. He was the most amazing player and all our guests and children loved it. He even did ‘Old Mac Donald’ to keep the kids amused. I would definitely recommend Roddy for any event.
Kate
My friend and I had a private lesson with a Roddy, - it was superb! He is patient and instructive, we didn’t okay well, but we enjoyed having a go and listening how the expert does it 🤩
Gabriela
As part of a school study trip to Scotland, we booked Roddy for a one hour bagpipe workshop. It was really fun, although the instrument is very hard to play. Roddy also played some songs for us and also spontaneously added some Scottish dance at the end, which our ladies really liked! We will certainly book him again another time.
Walter
Roddy recently played at our intimate wedding at the City Chambers. What a day, what a piper.
Jenny & Roger
Roddy was highly recommended and he played at our wedding at the Woodside Hotel in Aberdour. It was absolutely amazing! Having Roddy at our wedding was so magical. Our family loved Roddy too. Roddy, you made this a very special day ! Thank You so much.
Gina
If you are looking to make a memory of a lifetime while visiting Scotland this is it! Roddy made this unique experience an absolute blast! His talent and patience is top notch.
Antonio
Even though Roddy was extremely busy so he couldn’t host the bagpipe workshop, Ross the Piper was equally excellent, fun and illustrative we got a glimpse of the history and the (difficult) art of playing the bagpipes. Loved the venue also. Thanks a lot gentlemen.
