Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 27, 2016•From Methuen, MA

Brian was great. He was always available to speak with us on months, weeks and even days before our wedding. He made recommendations and was always respectful and professional. His Celtic attire was wonderful and his grooming was 5 stars. Loved his melodies and made me feel like I was floating in the air as I walked down the aisle to my husband.

Funeral•Reviewed on August 19, 2016•From Cambridge, MA

My father passed unexpectedly. He had always said that he wanted bagpipes to be played at his funeral. I didn't even know where to begin. I filled out a form on gigmasters and Mr. Quirk got back to me right away. He handled everything. He was so patient and kind. I thought this was too good to be true, I hired someone that easy and fast? But sure enough, when we pulled up to the cemetery we heard the beautiful sound of Amazing Grace being played up on the hill. Mr. Quirk is beyond talented and made me feel like my Dad was so happy. I can't thank him enough for being a part of such an important day. I would recommend him without hesitation and WILL be seeing him again

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 6, 2016•From Lunenburg, MA

We hired Brian to play at our surprise wedding, and hearing him play from a distance was the first many knew there was something happening. He walked from one side of our home to the other where the guests were, and it was fantastic. We asked for him to play Amazing Grace, and he did a wonderful job, and many people were moved to tears. It was a hectic time planning, as we did it in about 3 weeks, so we were not as organized as we might have been, and Brian was very flexible. Many guests said they would never forget the event, and a big part of that was Brian performing. Afterwards he chatted with guests which they appreciated. It was a great day!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 29, 2016•From Salem, NH

For my dad's 80 Birthday Party I contacted Gigmasters and was happy that I met Brian. He was great. He responded quickly, and was easy to speak with. I was nervous as I had never done this before and he explained things which put me at ease immediately. It was a total surprise to the whole family and they were very excited once they heard Brian playing the Bagpipes as he walked into the yard. Brian took the time to speak with my dad and also answer questions that my nephew had around the music and he was very open to playing all sorts of requests from my aunts. Everyone commented on how great Brian was, I would definitely not hesitate to contact him again.

Saint Patrick's Day Party•Reviewed on March 14, 2016•From Norton, MA

Brian did an excellent job playing some traditional Irish tunes on his bagpipes. He interacted very well with everyone at the party, and he was extremely easy to work with. If asked, I would highly recommend Brian, as he earned all 5's for a job well done.

Funeral•Reviewed on August 20, 2015•From Georgetown, MA

We couldn't have chosen anyone better than Brian for our family gathering. There were over forty attendees and every one, w/out exception, had the most positive things to say. His playing was exceptional, far better than other pipers we've heard over the years. He made this a very memorable day for everyone and we would definitely call on him again.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 11, 2014•From Plymouth, MA

We had a special request for a processional that required Brian to coordinate with our DJ to play a version of Highland Cathedral. Brian contacted the DJ and they worked it out. He made several suggestions for tunes for the recessional as well. Brian also accommodated our request to lead the bride's processional by walking in ahead of the bride and her mom. Having a piper at the wedding was a surprise for our guests and we had many people come to say they thoroughly enjoyed it. I highly recommend Brian.

Brian was graet. He played as the Merrimack College football team came to the field. The crownd, players, and coaches thought it was amazing!

Funeral•Reviewed on September 15, 2013•From Danvers, MA

He was appropriately dressed and arrived on time. He went over details via email. When he misunderstood that there was going to be one or two songs played via a speaker system he was trying to play them on the bagpipes and made other suggestions. We explained that we never would ask him to do new songs that weren't on his playlist. But this speaks to his desire to please his customers. My only problem was we never got 5 bids. He was the only one. The other two had prior commitments.

Brian was wonderful to work with. He was very professional, friendly, and quick to respond to all my emails and questions. He was very accommodating from the beginning and all the way to the end. He is extremely talented. I received a lot of compliments from my guests and how much they enjoyed him playing. He helped by turning my wedding ceremony into a wonderful day. I highly recommend!!!

Brian was EXCELLENT. Easy to work with, very professional and he provided a memorable experience for my Dad's Funeral. Brian performed all of the planned & selected Scottish tributes beautifully. And, when an unfortunate event occurred and the military honor guard was not present to play Taps (Dad was a proud Korean War Vet), Brian filled in admirably to complete the graveside ceremony. Our family is grateful for the talent and flexibility of Brian and would highly recommend him. Sincerely, the Ewing family.
