Club Event•Reviewed on September 12, 2021•From New Braunfels, TX

Derek was so easy to work with when planning our tribute to 9/11 while also celebrating our 60th year of Wurstfest. He is so talented and surpassed my expectations. If you are looking for a bagpiper I highly recommend using Derek.

Thank you for your kind words, and for having me there! It was an honor to be included in your 9-11 tribute.

Holiday Party•Reviewed on April 1, 2018•From Austin, TX

I had Derek out to Starbar downtown on St.Patty’s as well as a few other bars in the area and the results were amazing! He truly is an experienced professional with a great attitude and tremendous talent. All other bars in the area also gave raving reviews of him and how the got the crowd pumped up and excited about the festivities. We will definitely be reaching out to him again for future events!

Derek played at our Burns Night Dinner Party. He arrived early to set up before any guest arrived and did a beautiful job of playing and assortment of traditional songs. He engaged with guests as they asked him questions and very flexible about the three different locations we had him play in the house. He was fantastic!
