Harry is incredible. I have used him for my birthday and my sisters- and everyone absolutely loves it. The crowd goes wild, the whole experience is always uplifting and unique. Harry is always professional, promptly replies and is on time if not early. Will continue to use him again and again. If I could pay for him to enter every room I’m in - I would.
Sure am pleased to be invited. Because of you and your friends, I am a midnight club piper in LA!
Bagpiper Harry Farrar is truly outstanding, and highly recommended…..he performed at a Celebration of Life Memorial for our musician cousin, and his playing was so masterful and soulful.
Thanks for the kind review. I enjoyed sharing our common appreciation for the classic song Going Home. Best wishes ahead.
Harry did a wonderful job performing at the church service for my dad’s memorial. He was on time, communicated well and all our guests were so touched by the songs he played.
Thanks for the nice words. I was pleased to make a live recording of such a classic, "How Great Thou Art" at the service last weekend. Also, it is not easy for everyone to speak at the ceremony, and I was impressed how you were able to bring a lifetime of memories together so well for all the people in attendance at the service. Thanks for the generous payment and for counting on me to be the piper for church service.
A very dear family friend succumbed peacefully at age 93 after a long and debilitating illness, which she’d weathered bravely. When we last visited almost 3 months earlier, she’d not ventured out of her home in almost a year. She’d been stuporous when we arrived, but when i played for her a YouTube video of Amazing Grace performed by a tenor with glorious voice, then accompanied by solo, then massed pipes, she’d brightened dramatically and rallied unbelievably and arranged for one of her faithful live-In caretakers and she to take US to dinner. When she passed, i just knew she needed a superb piper to salute her and bring some comfort to her amazing family. I found Harry on his very informative website and knew immediately we couldn’t go wrong with HIM on the pipes. His pre-performance communications were informative and concise, his Highlands attire almost regal, and the music itself lyrically EVERYTHING we could have hoped for. I would be honored to have him enhance the same solemn occasion for anyone in my own family
Harry Farrar did a fabulous job as bagpiper for my husband's memorial service at Forest Lawn in Glendale. He arrived on time, dressed in full Scottish attire right down to his tasseled shiny shoes. Harry made an impressive entrance and played beautifully. People are still talking about his appearance and performance. He definitely made the service for my husband extra special. Harry was kind and considerate and I would certainly recommend his services to others wanting an extra special Scottish touch to their celebration of life, wedding or other event .
My goodness! Thanks for an amazing review. And the extra effort to post on Trustpilot. That sure was an amazing venue for the service and I was impressed with the officiant who I chatted with. After performing at 1000s of services over 45 years a few stand out. Your husbands service was so authentic. It had a Scottish feel and only a soggy rain storm could make it more like Scotland itself. The Wee Kirk at Forest Lawn is one of the best locations in North America. Many super famous have had services there. I wanted to add that Keith did a great job with the live bugle flag segment. You really did an amazing job at planning and executing this grand send off. Best wishes ahead and hope to meet you again. Harry Farrar.
Harry is great and added so much to our event!! He's wonderful to work with and plays beautifully. We definitely turned heads walking down Sunset. It was great!! It really lifted our event to a different level.
Thanks for inviting me. This was the first time for me to march with the group. If it is a go for next year, maybe we can add a Bass Drum. Even more heads will turn. Thanks again.
Harry’s piping was a beautiful and special part of my father’s funeral. Harry was extremely professional and courteous. It was a pleasure working with him.
I was pleased to be able to deliver a nice bagpipe element to the service at San Fernando cemetery. Thanks for the nice review and best wishes of good health and a long life ahead.
Harry played beautifully for my 92 year old Mothers funeral! I was almost embarrassed to ask if he could play “You are My Sunshine “. Harry said yes I can play that and it was extra special as each child in our family arrives into this world we sing that and now we sang back to the one who started that family tradition.
I was very pleased to play "You are my Sunshine". It is really a great tune for your family gathering. Turns out that the notes of the song are just right for the bagpipe. Best wishes ahead and thanks for the great review.
What a fantastic addition to our annual Saint Paddy‘s day party! Everyone said this was the highlight of the evening, and we are so looking forward to seeing them again next year!
Thanks for inviting us to perform the bagpipes. All the party-goers looked great in green! See you next year.
Extremely pleased with Harry's performance! His flexibility and willingness to accommodate our scheduling challenges were greatly appreciated. Harry's experience helped guide our timing and collaboration with the other musicians at the Church. My Family and I have received many compliments and rave reviews on the profoundly beautiful music that the bagpipes added to my Dad's services. We are VERY HAPPY with the decision we made to hire Harry!
Thanks so much for the great review. I was glad to be able to perform TAPS for the flag portion of the service. There sure were a lot of attendees and I spoke with several that traveled from the East coast. Thanks for having me bagpipe and all your planning made for a well done service.
We wanted something different for our recent wedding and being a Scot, having a piper seemed a good idea. Luckily we found Harry and he was a gem! He helped us select appropriate music and timing and with his help, the wedding was a wonderful experience for bride, groom and guests. We are very appreciative.
Well thanks so much. The wedding at the church went very well. The true surprise element was the best. The great photos tell the story. Thanks for having me and the happiest days ahead!
Family really enjoyed having a bagpiper at there Celebration of Life. I would highly recommend Harry Farrar for all your bagpiper needs.
I was glad to be able to perform. All your planning made the service go smoothly. Best wishes ahead.
Harry was the best bag piper we have ever heard. He made our memorial ceremony really something to remember and added such magic and beauty that it lessened the gravity of it all. Can’t recommend highly enough! Hope to use him next time for a happier occasion.
Thank you so much for the lovely review. I was pleased to see how many people attended. The service was well done with lots of fine messages from the officiant. Hope to meet again like you said on a happier occasion.
Thank you Harry!! I am so greatful that I called you for my sons end of life celebration at Conejo Mountain Funeral Home/ Cemetery…You were so easy to work with.. a true professional! Your music added so much to the burial. It was really beautiful. Thank You! Catherine
Conejo Mountain and the location of your son's final resting place is truely restful. I am glad I was able to add the unique touch of the bagpipes to the service. Take care.
We hired Harry the Bagpiper for my sister‘s Celebration of Life. He listened to what we had in mind and offered wonderful suggestions and it worked out beautifully. He was a welcome addition to the tribute, and I know that my sister would’ve been very pleased, as were we. Thank you Harry. I highly recommend his services.
Thanks for a lovely review. I was pleased to perform the three special songs. You and your family did a wonderful job of planning such a nice ceremony.
I wish I could give Harry Farrar 10 Stars for playing the bagpipes at my mother’s memorial service. All of my family are in agreement that Harry was the highlight of the service! He’s kind, respectful, friendly, has a great sense of humor & is a wonderful story teller! He’s also a FANTASTIC bagpiper! I will definitely call Harry for my next event!
Harry played the bagpipe for us at our annual Cops N' Cruisers Car Show this past Sunday (09/10/2023) near the Simi Valley Police Department. He did an outstanding job. I would highly recommend Harry and he sounded good and was extremely professional and easy to work with.
What a great event. The energy and attendance was amazing. Thanks for inviting me to be part of the grand day!
