Hi Roy,
I can't tell you how much your performance at my Dad's funeral meant to everyone yesterday. 
So many people have asked for your information, even non Scotts want you at their funerals.
Thank you so much. Keith
~~~~~~

Dear Roy,
What can I say...... you are genuinely brilliant and absolutely made the day for my in-laws.
Everyone said how amazing you were and I don't know what it is about bagpipes, they just bring out so many emotions, so many people had tears in their eyes, me included.
I can never thank you enough, you made the party so very special and was so kind to take the time to chat and have photos taken.
Kind regards, Louise
~~~~~~

Hi Roy,
We both had an amazing day and we would like to thank you for making our wedding day even more special.

Thank you again,

Hi Roy,
Thank you for your moving musical contribution to my Father's Service yesterday. My Dad would have absolutely loved watching and listening to you. His Scottish heritage and all things Scottish were of significant pride and pleasure to him. To the end he yearned to return to Scotland. I hope your delightful tribute helped him on his way back to the hills and the heather.

My family present and those watching via the Webcast from California, Manila and France, were overwhelmed at the exquisite beauty of the sound of your bagpipes and enchanted to see you in your resplendent regalia in the Chapel. Very poignant to watch you bow to my father's coffin. Not a dry eye amongst us all.

My deepest gratitude to you Roy.
Keep safe and maybe see you around Cambridge one day when we're all free again.
Take care and thank you
Kindest regards
Linda

Good morning Roy,
We can't thank you enough.... it was so special, and meant the world to us as we know my father in law would have felt so proud and loved every second.
Thank you again,

Good morning Roy,
Can't tell you how thrilled we were with how everything went!
Alec absolutely loved it all, you went above and beyond all our expectations with all your interesting facts and knowledge about the bagpipes.
We can't thank you enough, you made his 70th birthday so memorable and gave us a lovely day which we shall never forget!
Kind regards Ruth and Derek

Hi Roy,
Im so sorry not to have had chance to thank you in person yesterday, but please accept our heartfelt thanks for your beautiful playing yesterday. My dad would have been so pleased to have heard it, and in a way, I hope he did.
You are clearly a hugely talented piper, I listened to many version on You-Tube in the weeks before the funeral in the hope that I would get used to it and not cry on the day. Yours was a league above any of the others, and of course, my preparation was of no use!
many thanks again for coming,
Rob , Lynn and family

Hi,
I ran the Ely 10k on New Year's Eve - please do let Roy know how encouraging it was to hear the bagpipes playing as I came up the hill around the 8-9k mark! I managed to give him a wave of thanks between gasps for air but of course he wouldn't know me from Adam! It was the first time I've entered and was a great seasonal atmosphere.

Morning Roy
Happy New Year to you and your family.
Just a quick email to say a thousand 'thanks' for playing at the Kershaw Christmas Lunch at Hallmark Hotel in Bar Hill on Wednesday 23rd December - it certainly made the event really special as our theme was all about Scotland. Everyone enjoyed listening to you playing the feedback was very positive, as I'm sure you are aware by the photographs people wanted with you - and you looked magnificent in the full regalia, I can't thank you enough and I thought you were awesome.
The amount we raised for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Rosie Hospital in Cambridge was £4,000 through tickets sold from our raffle which took place on the same day.

Roy piped at my wedding in October 2015, perfect arrival, exactly on time. I was getting ready at the time, make up and hair done etc and the hotel bedroom window was open, I heard him for the first time, I cried, so much! He sounded beautiful and I was so proud that guests were arriving to this lovely sound.
He piped me into the ceremony room ( highland cathedral ) and into the wedding breakfast, he really did do an absolutely brilliant job. All my guests were talking about him for weeks afterwards ( which was lovely ) he was a very friendly Bagpiper and made us feel at ease whenever we were around him.
Please book Roy, he's brilliant at what he does. Plus, he is very reasonably priced!

Thank you so much for playing at Sally's funeral on Friday, it made a sad occasion a particularly special and memorable one. There were many comments about how amazing you were and how much Sally would have loved it.

Hello Roy (Cambridge Bagpiper),
One of the highlights of the day was hearing the bagpipes in the distance & getting louder as Lee approached the ceremony room & Lee said she became very emotional as you started piping Flower O’ Scotland. Leading us out to the terrace was a special moment as well, we couldn’t have asked for anything more!
Thanks you so much for playing a major part in our day & I hope it helps you receive more bookings.
Cheers,
Stuart.

Thank you for your email and we were very pleased with your professionalism throughout the funeral. Everything went well and the Seaforth tunes were good to hear, the Barren Rocks of Aden particularly appropriate on such a hot, sunny day. It was good too, to see my father's pipe banner and I hope that we added an unusual touch to the Suffolk countryside.
My father would have very much approved.

Hi Roy, (Cambridge Bagpiper)
Very many thanks for piping at dad's funeral yesterday. Mum has also asked I pass on her thanks too, it certainly helped to give him a very fitting send off. Plenty of other people commented favourably on your music too - so well done and thank you. I was especially thankful for the way you reacted seamlessly to events and despite us not discussing beforehand, stopped playing at exactly the right momement after the hearse departed.
You are clearly a musician of talent and understand the importance of such events; I shall certainly recommend you to anyone who asks.
All the very best for the future.

Thank you so much for making the wedding of Jon and Claire so memorable. You would not have seen the tears in his eyes when you started to play Claire down the isle. Your friendliness and professionalism could not be faltered and the boys were fascinated when you showed them how to play the pipes. Everyone remarked on how well you played and my daughter wants to book you for when she and her and her husband re take their marriage vows for their 20th anniversary (if you are still playing in 3 years time).
Thanks again for such a memorable day.

Members and helpers alike were hugely enthusiastic with their praise of your playing and your talk.

Such a lovely, lovely day, thank you.

Just wanted to say a big thank you from all the Family and Friends who attended the funeral at Fenland Crematorium on Friday 10/01/14

We were all moved by your skilful playing and professionalism

Dear Roy, (Cambridge Bagpiper)
I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful performance you gave at my husband Ian's funeral at the Fenland Crematorium on Friday 18 October. As you know, he was in the Black Watch himself and would really have appreciated it.

I wanted to find you after the ceremony to thank you but by the time I had extricated myself from my family and friends you had gone.

You looked fantastic too!

All best wishes,

Hi Roy (Cambridge Bagpiper)

Apologies for the delayed response. We had a great day which was definitely helped by you being there. Many of our guests commented on how great the pipes sounded in the abbey; something they had not experienced before and would not forget. Rest assured I will have no hesitation in recommending you and will look for opportunities to utilise your skills with any future functions Hayley and I organise.
All the best and thanks again.

Hi Roy (Cambridge Bagpiper)

Sorry I am late sending this but just wanted to thank you on behalf of me and my husband for playing at Jamie & Toni's wedding on Saturday. He was both shocked and thrilled when they walked out of the church to hear you playing. He was very emotional when he thanked us. You made a special occasion even more memorable for lots of people on that day. I will gladly recommend you to friends and colleagues.

Once again a big thank you.

Many Thanks for yesterday, we all had a fab day and the piping was fantastic, many people said it made the hairs on the back of their neck stand up just hearing the pipes.
Abbie was desperate to walk to the church and thankfully the rain held off for her and it actually turned into a really lovely sunny warm day. It was made even more special to be escorted by you looking great in your uniform.

Many thanks again,

Hi Roy (Cambridge Bagpiper)

I hired Roy (The Cambridge Bagpiper) for my grandmother's funeral in June 2013. She was born in Dundee in 1922 and was a true Scott through and through, not to mention a fan of the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment). She loved the pipes, and Roy gave her a very memorable sendoff. His playing was fantastic not to mention the traditional dress which was outstanding I would recommend Roy for any event he's first class and a true pro.

Thanks Roy, Lee Rose, Woodchurch, Kent.

Hi Roy (Cambridge Bagpiper)

Phil here, the groom from Friday. I just wanted to say a huge thank you from both us for being there at Madingley and for piping so brilliantly in the rain. We're just sad that the weather meant we couldn't stick along to hear more of it, but we really really appreciated the time we spent with you. It would have been nice to have had the time to stop for a proper chat too. We've got a few good photos of you we can pass along if you like.

Thanks again, and with our best wishes,

Hi Roy (Cambridge Bagpiper)

Many thanks again. What you did for us on Friday was beyond my expectations: have you ever heard applause at a funeral ? I haven't! And thanks for playing in the school too - it made their day and will help them remember the occasion in a spectacular way: the donations to the climbing frame fund at the school in memory of my mother have reached over £700, so all in all, it was a good day despite the sadness.
I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures my sister in law took with you - I'll forward them if they turn out well.

Best wishes

Warble Entertainment were very efficient and easy to use. Roy was very nice and looked absolutely fantastic in his attire. He arrived in plenty of time and was smiling through the whole occasion. His recommendations for tunes to be played at our ceremony were much appreciated as we were at a loss on what to choose ourselves. We would have no hesitation in recommending Roy, the music was wonderful and our photos with him playing in the background were stunning. Our guests were delighted with the suprise.

Many Thanks

I will ensure Watkins and Stafford are also aware of how much we appreciated your contribution so that they will feel comfortable in recommending you in the future.
It was also a lovely touch for Chris to be able to play your pipes at the end, a generous gesture on your part and the talking point of the wake afterwards, so thank you.

You fair stirred up the guests from the first note! We girls were tarting ourselves up on the 3rd floor so left door open to hear the music before ceremony. Fair got us in the mood for a party.

Thank you for piping me down the aisle..most unexpected but brilliant.

Many a tear was shed as my girl was piped down the aisle to Highland Cathedral. Such a brilliant atmosphere and the English guests loved the pipes and kilts.

Louise and Tom were utterly thrilled to have you pipe at their wedding. Money well spent!

Thanks again, Roy.

Dear Cambridge Bagpiper (Roy);

I just want to thank you for doing such a wonderful job for us on our wedding at Hengrave. You truly captured the feelings of the day and I loved the choice of music we settled on. You also made our dual ceremony and the waiting outside for everyone more resonant and purposeful somehow, if that makes any sense.
We both felt so happy that day and you are forever a part of that. Thankyou. i will be happy to send you some proper pictures from the big day eventually - hoping to get them sorted in the next couple of weeks- but since ive been back here in jakarta ten days now I didn't want to go another day without saying thank you to you.
Thank you again for your generous flexibility and support, and talent!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
So many of our guests commented on how nice it was to have the tradition of the pipes and also at how perfectly they were played, it really added that something else to a very special day.

Again... Many Thanks, Jimmy Harris

Hi Roy,

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.

Hi Roy
Sorry for taking so long to tell you how much we enjoyed your performance at our wedding. You were excellent and everyone had a great time watching and listening to you. Next time we are in Cambridge we will have to sink a few together.

All the best. Vincent

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

Just like to say thanks again for the brill job you did on Wednesday at our Dads funeral, so many members of our family were very impressed and thought that you played very well.

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

with grateful thanks, Mike Payne.
