Take care and Thankyou again"
"I would like to thank you for your presence at our fathers funeral on 4/1/24 at Wolverhampton. All the family were so impressed by you from the moment that you arrived and having a chat with us. Your playing made the occasion so special. We feel dad would have loved it too.
Many at the service said that they were so moved by the playing and gave Dad a “Regal” send off."
"Thank you so much for the excellent piping you gave at my husband, Ian Lorimer’s funeral on 8 August.
I didn’t get to speak with you on the day, but just wanted to say that our family loved your suggested music and presence. You did us proud."
"I just I needed to thank you for Saturday, you were simply amazing, would recommend to anyone, thank you."
"Brilliant, spot on and just perfect. Echoing Gerry's comments and thank you for playing so well. Will pass on your best wishes to Mike Peters when I see him at the next Dinner Night. In the meantime thank you again and best wishes,"
"It was so important to have you there, thanks for all your practice of Dornock Links! The regimental men loved hearing their tubes and it was so fitting for my father. I am just sorry I missed the first song."
"Thank you so much for providing such a fitting climax to my Husband's Memorial Service at St John's College on Saturday. It was very emotional, and a fitting last goodbye for me."
"Thank you, we kept your presence a secret, the family were so chuffed and said it would have made his day.
The piping was spot on and to have you in full Black Watch uniform was perfect.
Thank you again from Sally and Me it meant a great deal to us both."
"You were absolutely brilliant and we have received many, many, compliments that we are only too happy to pass onto you. Having Highland Cathedral played so expertly as we walked out of the church is a very special memory that we will treasure forever. And to have the Blackbear play to kick the party off in style was equally memorable. We are very grateful."
"Thank you so so much for yesterday you were amazing and did my dad proud."
"Thank you so much for making the Celebration of Ian’s Life on Sunday such a wonderful occasion.
I’ve been hearing from many people present on how much they loved hearing you play the bagpipes. Quite a few were saying how emotional they felt listening to the music but how they felt it honoured Ian who was so well thought of.
Your presence and music made for a very special occasion and the family and I were just so delighted at how the occasion went, led by you from the start.
Again, thank you so much from us all."
"You were fantastic! Couldn’t have asked for a better piper! You’re definitely going in the black book for the next time I need someone!"
"Roy added an incredible atmosphere to our wedding in August 2022. My husband’s uncle is a Scottish Laird and Roy was his favourite part of the day! I absolutely recommend him to anyone considering a piper, utterly fantastic. Thank you!"
"You made a special day even more special thank you so much."
"What can I say...... you are genuinely brilliant and absolutely made the day for my in-laws.
Everyone said how amazing you were and I don't know what it is about bagpipes, they just bring out so many emotions, so many people had tears in their eyes, me included.
I can never thank you enough, you made the party so very special and was so kind to take the time to chat and have photos taken."
"It was amazing, everyone loved it, even the two bagpipe haters enjoyed it too, you were the talk of the evening and my sister was so thrilled.
Thank you so much for making her birthday so special. You were fantastic and we all had a great time."
"Your playing as you led our wedding procession from church to village hall was lovely, a truly memorable part of the day for us, our guests and indeed quite a few of our neighbours. Only a very few people knew that you would be playing, so it was a wonderful surprise for most.
I also enjoyed our brief chat outside the church before the service while the missing bridesmaids were relocated …
I shall not hesitate to recommend you to anyone I hear of in need of a piper."
"Thank you so much for yesterday. You made the ceremony very special and memorable for us."
"Thank you for your moving musical contribution to my Father's Service yesterday. My Dad would have absolutely loved watching and listening to you. His Scottish heritage and all things Scottish were of significant pride and pleasure to him. To the end he yearned to return to Scotland. I hope your delightful tribute helped him on his way back to the hills and the heather.
My family present and those watching via the Webcast from California, Manila and France, were overwhelmed at the exquisite beauty of the sound of your bagpipes and enchanted to see you in your resplendent regalia in the Chapel. Very poignant to watch you bow to my father's coffin. Not a dry eye amongst us all.
My deepest gratitude to you Roy. Keep safe and maybe see you around Cambridge one day when we're all free again. Take care and thank you"
