    Fantastic Piper! Honorary Scotsman!

    Alex A. - 2017

    Had the pleasure of Jake piping at our wedding in Scotland back in 2017.

    Jake is an incredibly accomplished piper and would not look out of place at any of the Highland Games and looked plenty at home in our rural Scottish wedding in the North East of Scotland. Book him if you can, would assume his calendar is plenty full up, lovely personable individual with a set of lungs that would make any Highlander jealous!
