Stewart P booked Bear The Piper for their Wedding in Somerset • October 2023
“Bear was great to work with, he's a talented and experienced piper with a broad repertoire. He was flexible and easy to communicate with. The weather conditions were not great and so we were grateful for the length of set that he still managed to play. Would highly recommend.”
A Genuine and Passionate Piper
Sean booked Bear The Piper for their event
“An excellent piper. He plays with soul and knows a myriad of tunes too.”
Sally R booked Bear The Piper for their event
“We have had Bear The Piper to play the bagpipes at two family funerals. Right from when we first made contact, he has been so helpful during what has been a very difficult time for our family. He is so professional and his beautiful playing of the bagpipes at our funerals brought the Scottish tradition to our homeland. We would definitely recommend Bear The Piper for any events. ”
