J.V. Hudson did a beautiful job performing at my father's funeral. He was there early to discuss song selections and offered his condolences to my entire family. His heart shined through as he played the bagpipe and for that I will be forever grateful.

Funeral•Reviewed on December 29, 2014•From Mount Airy, NC

He was cooperative and flexible when plans changed at the last second. He did an excellent job with his playing and overall presentation. The timing of the performance was absolutely critical and at exactly 82 seconds hit his entrance cue dead on. With one cue from the Usher he came from outside to inside the sanctuary. as asked. He played and then escorted the family out of the church with dignity and respect. Thank you for honoring my mother's memory in such a memorable way. I would recommend J.V. Hudson for any situation you made need a bagpipe player.

Private Party•Reviewed on September 23, 2014•From West End, NC

We met Jerry Saturday for the first time at our party for 65 at our lakeside home near Pinehurst. Not only did we find his performance first class, we enjoyed getting to know such a warm, colorful, talented and entertaining individual. I recommend him highly!

Funeral•Reviewed on July 30, 2014•From Weldon, NC

Mr. Hudson was on time and professionally attired, and he played beautifully. I had asked him to pipe the mourners into the family plot at the cemetery, and he began playing as the first cars arrived. After the ceremony, he played "Amazing Grace", and after a few verses, turned and walked away, still playing; it had the effect of having the song fade away and it was lovely. The family loved the performance and it made a sad occasion so much sweeter, because it was meaningful to us in many ways. I heartily recommend him.

Country Club Event•Reviewed on June 8, 2014•From Apex, NC

J.V. was awesome! Absolutely perfect for our golf outing, capable of playing all the bagpipe classics and improvising when necessary. There were 20 of us playing, and nobody had anything but great feedback for him. Highly recommended!

Commitment Ceremony•Reviewed on September 27, 2013•From Siler City, NC

A talented piper and excels in appearance and musical delivery. Was the most pleasant individual and connected with those around him, everyone enjoyed his music and I have the highest respect and compliments for Mr.J.V. Hudson and would engage him for any future events. He captures the feel of all things Scottish !! I've seen hundreds of pipers perform and he is in the top fifth in my observations.

Funeral•Reviewed on August 25, 2013•From Garland, NC

Our family hired JV to play for an elderly relative who loved bagpipes and her Scottish Heritage almost a year ago for her birthday. She thought it was the most wonderful birthday present. She passed away a few weeks ago and we knew she would have wanted JV to play for her memorial. He played beautifully, was incredibly professional and kind. He is a very special person, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

He did such an amazing job! I would highly highly highly recommend him to anyone! He made a special day even more special. He was very professional, And when things ran a little bit long, he was very flexible in helping us!! I am extremely picky about using vendors for events, and I would book him again anytime. He was absolutely a delight!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 26, 2013•From Wake Forest, NC

We thoroughly enjoyed J.V. for our surprise 60th birthday party. Not only was the Scottish guest of honor bowled over by a true blue bagpiping Scot in his backyard but so were all the other guests. J.V. arrived promptly and unobtrusively with a round of "Happy Birthday" followed by a host of other wonderful sounds and songs. The guests were spellbound. With a rainy mist in the night air, ale in the mugs and J.V. on the bagpipes we felt we were in Scotland. Thank you J.V. for making Mac's special night truly a memorable one.

Private Party•Reviewed on May 3, 2013•From Pinehurst, NC

He was great to work with, and very flexible. His performance was spot on, and very appreciated. Our guests were from Scotland visiting, and were very complementary of his talent. They even invited him to join them for a beverage after performing. We are very pleased!

Wedding•Reviewed on April 20, 2013•From Chapel Hill, NC

Mr. Hudson was very accommodating. He agreed to play for our wedding on very short notice, and and was prifessional and timely with his communication. He was very personable and was flexible with our schedule. He suggested a wonderful program of pieces and played them beautifully. It should also be mentioned that he was very patient with the bride who was a bit late to her own wedding :). It was a pleasure to have him perform at our wedding!
