Dear Cambridge Bagpiper,
Just a short note to say a massive "Thank You" for your contribution to my Dad's funeral yesterday. We have had many positive remarks and compliments on the role you played, and we are pleased and privileged to have heard you play. It is no wonder that you have been invited to play at some very grand occasions.
Tony has asked me to apologise on his behalf for not seeing you and thanking you afterwards, when things were a bit hectic.
We hope that we will have the honour of listening to you play again.
Best wishes

Dear Cambridge Bagpiper,
Thank You, for coming to Steeple Bumpstead and making out sad day "special" .
I'm sure it was quite a picture, with the whole Stevenson family walking up the hill to the cemetery to the sounds of the pipes. I wish that I could have seen it !!
Kind regards

Dear Cambridge Bagpiper,
I would just like to thank you so much for attending my father's funeral [Carl Jarvis] on Tuesday. You made a huge difference to his send-off that is the talk of the village today. From the time we booked you [which was very short notice] you made everything so easy and relaxed at an otherwise very painful and hectic time, you were extremely professional throughout and managed to play from the church to the cemetery with extreme temperatures freezing your hands. The vicar and funeral director both commented on how good you were. You playing the pipes in the cemetery would have made my father so proud. I am so pleased I found your website, another piper was contacted and a price given but we never heard back from him, good job we didn't as we got the best there is. We will shout your name from the rooftops if anyone needs a piper. Just one thing Roy, get a hand warmer for the winter. Very many thanks from all the Jarvis family for an excellent job.
Very best regards.

Dear Cambridge Bagpiper,
Having lived in Scotland for the past 8 years we wanted a Scottish theme to our wedding day and that had to involve the bagpipes. We came across the Cambridge Bagpiper after an internet search.
From the off Roy was great. Very amenable to our request for him not to be an active part of the service but to be an active presence in the church yard prior to and after our wedding service. We should in hindsight have asked him play at some point during our service as his piping was utterly superb.
Roy was dressed to impress in full Regimental Outfit and stood proud in the blissful sunlight of St John's Church yard, Stansted on the 16th September.
Our guest just had to follow the sound of the bagpipes to arrive at the church. They all commented on how magical the bagpipes were and how much they enjoyed the tunes he played. Many had their minds changed about how beautiful bagpipe tunes can be.
All in all Roy provides a fantastic service and would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to add a spine-tingling edge to any function, whether it be Scottish themed or not.
Roy, thank you for helping make our special day, absolutely amazing.

I would just like to say a huge proper thank you for Weds 21st, I couldn’t thank you properly, as I was too emotional, you really did a fantastic job and I know Dad would have been extremely proud.The guests said how powerful it was to have the pipes played andI know they will all be talking about it for a long time to come.
Thanks so much again

John Holmes
Dear Cambridge Bagpiper,
Just back from a few days away. Thank you so much for piping at our wedding, it really was a fantastic day. All our guests enjoyed your playing and I myself was thrilled to have my chosen tunes played so well to go up the path, down the aisle and down the path to. It's a shame as the bride you arrive last as I would have liked to have heard more!
Thank you again; if ever I am asked if I know a good bagpiper I'll be sure to recommend you.
Best Wishes.
Alison
Hi Cambridge Bagpiper,
Thank you so much for agreeing to pipe for us, you made the day extra special and Claire was over the moon. The look on Craigs face were just brilliant, and he loved it.
It made it very special for us that you joined in and mingled with guests, everyone said how lovely you were.
Yes they did manage a couple of notes from the pipes, i don't think you have any competition on your hands though!!
thanks again for everything.
Lynn
Dear Cambridge Bagpiper,
I just wanted to thank you once again for playing at my Dad's Funeral last Thursday.
From the first time we spoke you have been very professional and easy to deal with. Along with all the guests I was very impressed with both your outfit and of course your playing - a fantastic tribute and send off for Dad.
I will certainly recommend you and I am sure we will hire you again in the future.
I look forward to meeting you again , hopefully at a happier occasion.

Hi Roy,
Thank you for your work the other night. As you know we dined out a Lt Col who has served 40 years in the Army and your performances throughout the night added to what was an memorable evening for him.
Your musical ability, range and skills as a piper were superb and your turn out and dress impeccable. Everyone who commented on the piper was full of plaudits and favour. I have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone who requires a quality piper for any occasion.
Thank you again for adding a touch of musical class to a great night
Yours, Andy
Hi Roy,

Ray
Hi Roy,
Hope you're well.
You were absolutely marvellous and your presence, despite bringing a tear to many an eye, made the day perfect. My Dad would have been so chuffed to be honoured in such a way and my Mum was thrilled and moved in equal measure. Dad's passing has been tough on everyone but you made his funeral special so I am so grateful. The skirl of the pipes is such an emotive sound and I know everyone loved what you did so thanks.

Hi Cambridge Bagpiper,
We would just like to say a massive thank you for playing at Nan's funeral, you made it so special and was extremely moving for everyone. A very sad day but we gave Nan a send off she would have loved especially "Scotland the Brave" at the end. Everyone commented on how fantastic you were, you made it a memorable day.
Many thanks once again
Ami
Hi Roy,
Thank you so much for making my Dad's birthday such a special day, he was just so overcome by your playing, it was the most perfect day, thanks to your relaxed manner. I dont think that myself, my Dad and all the family will ever be able to thank you enough. If I ever know of anyone wanting a piper, I will be sure to pass your details on, you were just so perfect.
Thank you very much again,and all the best for future,
Kirstie
Hello Roy,
I just wanted to say thank you again for last Wednesday you really made it very special and nearly everyone said such nice things about your playing and the uniform in which you looked so spendid. We have relatives still staying with us as they have been stranded and unable to get home as a result of the cancelled flights so things have been a bit hectic.
Wishing you continued success and again many thanks.

Thank you so much for playing the pipes for us on Saturday. You did a great job - fantastic music and you looked magnificent (even though Jolyon couldn't stop laughing when you put your 'hat' on!)
The party went very well - a great way to celebrate Robert's 50th birthday. Thanks once again and whenever we need a piper again we shall know who to call.
Best wishes,

Hi Roy
Thanks from Christine and Myself for your wonderful airs whilst our guests were arriving for there pre dinner drinks, we had nothing but great feedback from all our Lodge members and their guests. And to be piped into to the festive board was absolutely outstanding, we are both still trying to come down to earth. Once again thanks form us both and all the Menbers of Rainham Lodge for getting our Ladies Night off to such a rousing start.
Regards

Dear Roy
My kindest thanks for a job extremely well done on saturday. Your piping really did add such a wonderful degree of theatre and a finishing touch to the military presence at our wedding. Many people commented on your playing and your addition to our photos sets them off a treat. I'll be forwarding a few you can use perhaps in due course.
Slainte agus buaidh gu brath!
Rob and Helen.
Hello Roy
We were delighted with all that you did at the wedding to ensure that it was a very special day indeed. The quality of the music was first rate and the time and trouble that you took to ensure that the organist matched the pipes went beyond the call.Your rendition of Highland Cathedral was superb, played with style and with the expertise of a consumate professional who looked so impressive in 1BW ceremonial uniform. So many of the guests commented on what was universally regarded as a first rate performance. We also much appreciated your good humoured sage advice on the moves to and from the altar.
All the very best.
Robin & Jo
Hello Roy
Would just like to say a big thankyou on behalf of my whole family for the role you played in my Dad's birthday celebrations on 5th September. I've never seen my Mum & Dad so (pleasantly) surprised - my Dad is not often rendered speechless! Your piping and traditional dress were terrific. But most of all thankyou for being so friendly and sporting. Your obliging and approachable manner made the day the joyful celebration we hoped it would be.
Many thanks again for being such a top bloke!
Angela Simms
Roy
My whole family and friends would like to thank you for making the funeral of my father William so special, it was understandably a difficult day for all who knew William so well, however your presence and the discreet but special way you conducted yourself made the day reflect the character of our William , this will remain with us all.
When we considered a piper for his funeral after he served in the Black Watch particurlarly in Korea, it was initially a nice to have, you made it the best decision we made for the day.
thanks again, Glading Family of Ipswich
Dear Cambridge Bagpiper
Thank you so much for helping to make Helen and James' day yesterday. Everyone enjoyed your playing so much (apart from our cats, one of whom legged it for over 24 hours!) - and Marie's Wedding I loved. You were also great at keeping my mum occupied while we were all too busy to talk to her. I shall tell all my friends about you.
Best wishes, Yvonne
Hi Roy,
It was a great start to our evening. Our director was very taken back and well surprised. I was a good touch to have you walk with us from the hotel to St Johns. Many thanks for being so flexible. Everyone commented on how good you looked and the quality of your bag piping. Our German colleagues said it was one of the highlights of their visit.
Well done and thanks again for everything.
Best regards. Steve.
Hi Roy,
I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding last Saturday.

Again... Many Thanks, Jimmy Harris

Hi Roy,
You were wonderful, thank you so much. Your dress was very impressive, many people remarked on it and how lovely the music and the piping was. We had some lovely comments about the funeral in general and what it contained for our mother. I am glad you were part of it.
Regards Carol.
Good Evening Cambridge Bagpiper
I would like to sincerely thank you for your attendance which was appreciated by the family. Your uniform and performance was very professional and good value. A sad day made very special and one to remember. We will have no hesitation in recommending your services.
Keep up the fantastic work.
Cheers. Jonathan.
Dear Roy
It was wonderful to hear the pipes played so expertly down here in Ufford and everyone really enjoyed them. I heard about the "reluctant bride" and I wish I had been there to see it. I can't imagine what all the fuss was about! You should have given her an order. The whole day had a magical quality and the piping certainly set the tone.
Many thanks and I hope our paths cross again.
Karen
Hi Roy

Hi Roy
Our biggest thanks goes to you for playing such lovely music. I've had non stop great responses from everyone at the service and hotel about you. You were amazing, thank you. I would have no hesitation in choosing you again should I need a bagpiper for any occasion, you were worth every penny.
Once again thank you. Paula Jeffrey-Powell
Hi Roy
I just wanted to send thanks to you from both of us as I never got to see you before you went. You were fantastic, the pipes are lovely and bring out all emotions and goose bumps across the skin (I particularly liked Scotland The Brave when you piped us into the Wedding Breakfast) ..........you did all of that and more with looking at some of the photos coming in from friends. Everybody, without exception, said you were a lovely person and how well you played.
Thank you so much. Andrea and Paul

Hopefully you will be available next year.

Cannot thank you enough for the time you spent here at Baird Lodge on Burns afternoon. The tenants are still talking about it now and many of our older ladies had smiles on their faces for day’s remarking on "what a good looking boy you were"!
I hope you have been able to book us in for next year as it was a great success.

Thank you very much for playing at our wedding. We had a really great day and you added that extra special touch that was needed. I am sorry I did not get to thank you in person as you quietly left whilst we were finishing having our photos done. Everybody especially my parents commented on how professional you were and how you just did what you needed and left without any fuss at all. Your contribution to the day was brilliant.
Once again thanks. Emma
