Glasgow, Scotland
George started his piper hire business in 2006 after an active solo competitive career and a 7 year stint with the former Strathclyde Police Pipe Band winning the Grade One British Championships as well numerous top 5 placings at all the other major championships. He has piped at the Stade de France, in various countries including Russia, Djakarta, Germany, Norway, Switzerland, USA. He has a wealth of experience contributing to many happy weddings.
We can't thank George enough everything was incredible and it really made our day, extremely friendly and made sure everything was as we wanted it.
Music that embodied the emotions of the day
We thought that the piper was great and we would recommend you to friends and family. 10 out of 10!
The wedding music was perfect, couldn’t have asked for a better piper. It set the mood of the wedding
The Piper was friendly and highly professional. An extremely talented piper who kept our guests entertained and added a special touch to our wedding day
Having Emma there as our piper, just was a finishing quality and when I think of our wedding I can still hear her play my favourite piece of music ‘The Dark Island’. This will stay with me forever. Thank you Emma.
Wonderful. We were delighted with George. From playing his chanter down the phone to us beforehand to agree tunes, to playing outside in the rain for us. First class.
We can only highly recommend the services of Arkleston Piping who played the bagpipes at our wedding, just North of Glasgow. George did a tremendous job in welcoming our guests, who had travelled from all over the world to celebrate our special day. The arrival of the wedding car was even welcomed to the sound of bagpipes, adding a special and unforgettable touch to our day
I just wanted to say a big thank you for playing at my daughter’s wedding at Kilmaronock on Saturday. How lovely to see you standing at the Church Gate looking so smart and playing the bagpipes. Wonderful!! We had guests from New Zealand, America, Canada and England and they were all bowled over at seeing you there. Thank you so much and I will of course recommend you whenever I can.
Absolutely fantastic service me and my husband received can't recommend George enough he was amazing and very professional from start to finish even though we were running late due to missing shoes lol he even took the time to introduce himself and offer his well wishes. Thank you again
