Review by Andrea G.

Funeral•Reviewed on June 17, 2024•From Bala Cynwyd, PA

Thank you very much for taking the time to play at my brother Alex's funeral on Father's Day. Thank you for playing the songs I requested and sounding excellent. I am sure everyone visiting the cemetery enjoyed the tunes, too. You will always be a part of the family history by being present, and a part of a good guy's funeral.

Wedding•Reviewed on March 11, 2024•From Wilmington, DE

Colin was an amazing performer and amazing to work with. Even with the rainy weather he stood outside for all the guests to welcome with his amazing performing. When the wedding service started at "HIghland Cathedral" echoed through the church I had tears rolling down my face. When i asked my Bride afterwards she was fighting back the tears as well. I would hired Colin again in an instance. Thank you!!!

Colin is extremely professional and personable. Always timely responses to my communications. My family is from England and he not only performed beautifully, but also gained warm rapport with them by sharing history and interesting stories. Highly recommend if you want a very special and memorable experience. Top knotch!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 16, 2023•From Lansdale, PA

At 10:00pm the night before my daughters wedding I realized I had forgotten to book a bagpiper. I searched and sent several requests. Colin emailed me back and saved the day. He was punctual and professional and incredibly talented. I will never forget his kindness in coming through for us in a moments notice.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 19, 2023•From Jackson, NJ

Our bagpiper, Callum, was fantastic! He showed up on time, kept me informed on the way to location that he would be arriving shortly. He was a true professional and extremely talented. I would most certainly use The Bash again! Thank you for helping in celebrating my father's 85th birthday! You made it a party we will never forget!

Memorial Service•Reviewed on June 15, 2023•From Telford, PA

Bagpiper, Colin is very responsive and easy to work with. He readily accommodated my music requests, promptly arrived ahead of time, kept me informed, was very professionally attired with very professional presentation. His performance was spot on for this memorial event for my brother.

Funeral•Reviewed on December 11, 2022•From King of Prussia, PA

Thank you for the magnificent bagpipes, it was a perfect final farewell for my father, and quite moving for all of us. I appreciate the flexibility as the instructions and timing changed. It was a gift from above to find that the piper wears our family's tartan.

Celebration•Reviewed on April 14, 2022•From Aston, PA

My grandfather was always very proud of both his Scottish heritage as well as his service in the United States Army. The pipes were a tremendously touching way to send him on his way. Thanks for your professionalism and care, the entire family benefited from your performance.

Thanks James. It was an honor to play for a gentlemen who so proudly served his country. Best regards, Dan Emery Washington Memorial Pipe Band

Colin was very accommodating to find a person to perform at our school considering the short notice. The performer Callum was awesome, and kids liked him and enjoyed listening to him playing his bagpipe.

July 4th Party•Reviewed on July 7, 2020•From Downingtown, PA

Kenney was phenomenal! He was the consummate professional. He was very interactive with the residents and very accommodating to whatever questions they asked. His years of experiences were evident in his music. The bagpipe music was beautiful. The residents are still talking about his performance and would like to invite him back in the Fall.

Thanks for your review Bridget! It was a pleasure to play for your residents. Give us call in the fall Love to do it again! Kenny Sutherland Washington Memorial Pipe Band

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 9, 2020•From Pipersville, PA

Colin Drummond on the bagpipes made the birthday parade we had for our friend in Pandemic times. On a back country road, he lead our cars in a magical air to surprise our friend who was moved to tears of joy. We all were. Highest rating to Colin for adding the power of such a beautiful sound to celebrate in these challenging times. Many thanks.

Review by Darlene C.

Wedding•Reviewed on May 7, 2019•From Easton, PA

Colin was the perfect addition to our daughter's wedding. He piped the guests in and out of the church, playing our requested songs. He could not have been any nicer or professional and his uniform was outfit was spectacular. He was on time and patient as some of our guests were traveling from a distance and arriving late. We so enjoyed having him there and the compliments of our guests confirmed they enjoyed it too. Thank you so much for being part of our special day!

Thanks for your review Darlene. It was a pleasure piping for your daughter and your nrand new son in law! All the best to you and ypur family. Cheers, Colin

Funeral•Reviewed on August 13, 2018•From Somerville, NJ

Colin was prompt in responding with a bid and courteous in all correspondence dealing with the booking. His piper was on time, professional, and caring. My reason for 4.0 stars for overall satisfaction was that the piper played the songs that were requested. He played well. But he only played one short verse of each song-it just wasn't sufficient! There was no way for me to anticipate that and ask for several verses in advance. There was no way in the midst of a memorial service to ask for an adjustment. One verse of two songs for the amount of money paid was not "value". I guess the burden falls on the consumer to be that specific when booking.
