Funeral•Reviewed on August 18, 2014•From Fresno, CA
This was a very trying time for us. Mark was a great help in comforting us with his wonderful music. This part of the service was asked for years ago and we were so blessed to have found Mark. When Mark says that he is the number one piper on Gigmasters in the San Joaquin Valley, he is telling the truth. Mark is a professional and a superb musician. He comes highly recommended by our family!!!!!! Years of experience count when it comes to playing an instrument and Mark's 43 years of playing only the bagpipes showed through with flying colors. My Dad always said "why settle for number two when you can have the best?" Thank you Mark.

MARK WAS AWESOME!!!!!! I knew that I had made the right choice as soon as Mark started playing. It was also inspiring that the members of the Masonic Lodge of Oakland, The Scottish Rite of Oakland and the Caledonian Club of San Francisco that were there at the memorial service already knew Mark and told me that I had made the perfect choice. I whole heartedly recommend Mark to anyone needing a piper. You will not be disappointed! I was so impressed by Mark that I felt obligated to tip him another $50. He was that good! Thank you Mark!

Mr. Little was outstanding. He carried himself professionally during our event and his quality of play was something to be admired. Mr. Little was extremely easy to work with and accommodated the needs of our event with respect and enthusiasm. I highly recommend considering him for hire at your future events. After the event, I was confronted by several individuals who wanted to extend their praise and gratitude towards Mr. Little and his performance. I will surely resource him again in the future and I hope you do as well. We cant thank you enough I Pipe It-Bagpiper, You truly made our event a special one!
Respectfully,

My family was honored and blessed to have him play for my Irish Catholic Moms funeral this last Friday. The music was somber and reflective. He came out to the church qnd a long drive to the military cemetary. He was early for both and he played excellent though it was over 100 degrees outside. I would highly reccommend him .

I wish there was a 10-star rating for Mark! He was both sympathetic and empathetic,as well as understanding, and comforting. His rendition of AMAZING GRACE was amazing and brought me to tears (which is a compliment). Mark is someone anyone would be proud and humbled to have as a bagpiper.

I don't know how all those 4.5 ratings occurred! I tried to rate all areas a 5! Our piper Mark Little was wonderful! He found sheet music to practice extra songs we thought would be good pre funeral music & post after it was over. He took a personal interest & asked to see the bio we'd written for my nephew, so he could get a feel for the person he was playing for. We loved our piper in all areas of his performance & for his excellent communication!

We hired Mark and it was really meant to be. My family owned the Scotch House in San Francisco and Carmel and found out that we have known Mark since the seventies. Mark is an excellent Piper and I should know after being in many pipe bands including the Caledonian Pipe Band of San Francisco. You will not have any issues hiring Mark and definitely will not be disappointed. We will recommend Mark to anyone needing a piper. Thank you Mark!!!!!!

All I can say is that Mark was wonderful as always. He is a very good musician and piper. He has always been our pick for a piper here in the valley as he is one of the best and he is a true professional. People should think twice before hiring other pipers in the valley, because with Mark, they will not go wrong!!!!! He is good!!!! Thanks again Mark!

Mark was at the cemetery early. He played as people arrived, which was a very nice touch. Amazing Grace was wonderful. Mark will come highly recommended from family and friends.

Mark was wonderful. I picked Mark because his recordings were better than the other local pipers. People shouldn't just accept the first piper that calls them. As Mark said, compare before you decide. I will hire Mark again and let the other local pipers on Gigmasters go.

Mark arrived early and was very professional. My family have been to many Scottish Games and other Scottish functions, so we know what good piping should sound like. Mark's playing was phenominal. We could not have asked for better. We will recommend Mark to anyone needing a piper.
