Memorial Service•Reviewed on May 20, 2018•From Norfolk, VA

Jim was fantastic in every way, I would recommend him to anyone! He was an excellent choice for our event. He even went out of his way to learn a new song selection that we requested.

Thank you for the wonderful review! For your event next year, I highly recommend Jim Dillahey, the director of piping at the Citadel and president of the Eastern United States Pipe Band Association. Please tell him I referred you.

Family Reunion•Reviewed on October 24, 2016•From Virginia Beach, VA

Jim was terrific, really made the kickoff for our annual gathering of our MacNeil (Barra) Family Reunion memorable. He was very accommodating and easy to work with on scheduling his time - particularly in light of Hurricane Matthew's impending arrival that afternoon. He was also very personable, talking about how he got started with the bagpipes, posed for pictures with all and even letting my Grand Daughter Ella pose with his pipes. The Kids were amazed and delighted as were the Adults. Would absolutely recommend Jim to any event interested in this service in the future. Mike Antoniazzi

Funeral•Reviewed on February 14, 2016•From Newport News, VA

Jim Roberts played at my dad's funeral yesterday. It was in the teens with the wind chill. Mr. Roberts did an amazing job. So many people were touched by his performance. A lot of people thought he was a friend of the family for standing outside in the freezing cold. Thank you so much. The only thing my dad had told me he wanted was 'Amazing Grace' to be played on the bagpipes. It could not have been more perfect. Our whole family thanks you. Jim Roberts is highly recommended.

Private Party•Reviewed on February 12, 2016•From Virginia Beach, VA

10/10 for Jim. Super easy to communicate with, charged a fair price for his services, and was there at the prebriefed time. He was very flexible with our request, as we were running a bit behind schedule. Once his time came he played the pipes like a true champion, which really brought everything together. Book him for your next party...Jim will not disappoint!

Funeral•Reviewed on January 21, 2016•From Williamsburg, VA

Jim contacted me and made sure he was available when we needed him. He asked me about what I wanted him to play, and his performance was extremely professional. He was also willing to coordinate with the pastor about the service at the cemetery. He was excellent, and we were lucky to have him for the funeral.

Retirement Party•Reviewed on November 4, 2015•From Camden, NC

His performance was the highlight of my CG retirement. Scotland the Brave leading our group approx 5 blocks each way (felt like a legit parade). With a stunning performance of Amazing Grace, Semper Paratus, and other patriotic tunes during the return to the sea event. The best Wow Factor any party could have!

Funeral•Reviewed on March 9, 2015•From Norfolk, VA

I was thoroughly pleased with his performance. It has to be pretty depressing to play a funeral, however, he did it with the utmost professionalism. I was so busy grieving I didn't realize he was still playing outside in the cold. Of course we had an indoor area for him, but he never complained. Thank you Jim for helping give my best friend a proper send off.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 14, 2013•From Windsor, VA

Jim was a pleasure to work with, promptly communicating with me, and willing to help in any way. he arrived early,looking wonderfulin full regalia, and was patient with us while party activities were winding down. The bonfire would not light, even with kerosene, due to the previous week of rain, so those plans had to be scrapped. When Jim finally began to play, it was wonderful! Everyone enjoyed it immensely. I highly recommend Jim!

Saint Patrick's Day Party•Reviewed on April 5, 2013•From Hampton, VA

Jim Roberts was a wonderful entertainer. He was thoughtful and considerate of the audience as well as talented, well spoken and friendly. Mr. Roberts played whatever music was asked of him and more and he interacted well with the senior citizens. I would heartily recommend him to anyone that needs a bagpiper!

I cannot thank Jim enough for playing the bagpipes at my wedding. Everyone enjoyed listening to him and the second I heard him playing I had tears of joy! Thanks Jim.
