Kent was absolutely wonderful! He was excellent at communicating prior to the event and took requests. He arrived on time and was very adaptable to the changing timing of events. He was a definite hit at our company Christmas party. Kent is such a nice and pleasant man and our owner loved talking with a fellow Scottish man. Thank you Kent!!

Maxwell,
Thank you for the review and the Five Star (*****) Rating! It is very much appreciated. I played my best for the Cook family and it pleases me to know that they liked my performance yesterday morning at their mother's memorial.
I stand ready to be of assistance to you and/or your clients should they desire to have the pipes played at a loved one's memorial or internment.
Respectfully,

I could be here all day and still not be able to speak highly enough of Kent. What an incredible person all round, and an absolute master on the pipes. Very professional yet deeply accommodating, and we could tell that he genuinely cared about us, and making our big day as special as possible. Thank you for everything, Kent. Hope we can work together again in the future!

Celebration•Reviewed on July 23, 2023•From Tulsa, OK
Kent was great. The BASH website is a struggle. For examples: you just sent a request for me to review BASH but the review page doesn’t work. Bash sheet multiple requests for me to book after I’d already booked and! paid. When I sent a message to Kent through BASH it sent part but not the part in the message square. And several of the Bash emails when opened were a bunch of scattered letters. I assume BASH sometimes works better and have taken the time to give you this info assuming you want to know.
I did not find the piper on Basv. Thank thank you and a thanks to Kent for adding something for idk to an Irish family’s engagement party. Judith Blackwell

Review by Emmett H.
Funeral•Reviewed on December 8, 2021•From Fort Smith, AR
He arrived early, was set and ready when the procession arrived. As soon as the military flag was presented, he began to play amazing grace and then walked away to achieve a fade off effect, that had all in tears. He was an ultimate professional and I would highly recommend him and hire him again.

Emmett,
Thank you for the Five Star review! I appreciate it and your comments very much. It was a pleasure and honor to play my pipes for your father's memorial at the National Cemetery in Ft. Smith, AR yesterday afternoon. A true American hero has taken his eternal rest; God rest his soul.

Mr. Phoaroh came and played at my mother's funeral.

Definitely recommend him to anyone looking for an excellent player.

Kent was an excellent piper in every way imaginable. He was very professional, accommodating, respectful, & fulfilled every wish/request for a lovely funeral for my special daddy. My family, guests, relatives, friends, complimented Kent on his performance & me for hiring/making such a lovely service for all. My long-time Pastor said it was a performance like no other he had seen. Many thanks to Kent. Definitely saved his number in my phone!

Review by Christy T.
Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 12, 2019•From Catoosa, OK
My son's wedding took place in a small backyard under a full moon with the Amazing Grace Piper filling the air with magical bagpipe melodies. Kent Pharoah was indeed as magically charming as was his music. He told the story of the songs he played for us as he intermingled with the guests then he faded into the background and let the pipes surround the ceremony space with beautiful tones until the ceremony began as the bride walked down the aisle to the wedding march. From the moment I booked, Kent, he kept in contact with myself and my son to make sure every detail of his performance was exactly what we wanted. My sincere thanks to Kent...highly recommend!

Thanks, Christy, for your compliments. It was a genuine pleasure making your acquaintance and that of your son and his bride, Annie. "Lang May Their Lum Reek".

Funeral•Reviewed on April 24, 2018•From Independence, KS
Gosh, if you had a 10 rating i would have used it. Kent is the most concerning,caring and sensitive pipemaster. He was exceptional in his organization skills of making sure I was covering all bases for our graveside service. He called the sexton,the funeral home, went over and beyond of what I was not thinking of to make our day and service run smooth.it rained of course. I feared I would not hear these beautiful tunes on his bagpipe. The funeral home director held a giant umbrella over him to protect both man,clothing and instument. God bless Kent, thrilled to have him accept our invitation to come back to our old family home for nurishment and conversation. WOW!
:
Thank you for the kind words. My appreciation to Potts Funeral Home employee, Vern, who graciously sheltered me from the elements as I played for the service. And, I tip my glengarry to the chef for the delicious BBQ meal following. It was a genuine pleasure making your and your family's acquaintance on that rainy Saturday afternoon in Independence, KS.
