He was amazing and everyone loved him. Thank you again
Response from Roderick Nevin, Bagpiper:
Thank you Ronda. It was an honor to fulfill your husband’s wishes to have the pipes played.
Roderick was perfect from beginning to the end. My boyfriend was sick for many years and always said he wanted a bagpiper at his service. He was dressed the part and sounded awesome. Would highly recommend. When he played Amazing Grace walking away from the grave, Ricks picture blew off the easel. Everyone had chills. Thank you so much for a job well done.
Response from Roderick Nevin, Bagpiper:
Thank you so much Wendy! It was truly an honor to be part of the tribute to Rick’s memory.
Nevin was terrific to work with in all aspects. From my initial inquiry to the event, he was prompt and professional. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!
Response from Roderick Nevin, Bagpiper:
Thank you so much, Kim - what a fun way to announce the trip!
Rod’s performance was the perfect touch to an emotional day in which we laid our loved one to rest.
Rod was communicative, kind and talented. His bag pipe playing was deeply moving.
Response from Roderick Nevin, Bagpiper:
Thank you, Kathleen. It was an honor to be part of the musical tribute to your uncle.
We hired Mr. Nevin for our father’s graveside service. Mom wanted a bagpiper at the last minute. He responded to all communications quickly and helped us with all our questions. He was was at service playing when we arrived and played beautifully. He is a very nice man. We would definitely hire him again.
Response from Roderick Nevin, Bagpiper:
Thank you, Beth. It was an honor to play for your father’s service.
Rod was accommodating to our loose schedule. He did a wonderful job of suggesting songs and his music was the highlight of our funeral.
Roderick was absolutely wonderful! He's an extremely talented musician and is also very kind and was excellent to work with! Anytime I want a bagpiper I will be going back to him And I highly recommend that even if you're only considering getting a bagpiper for whatever your event is, you should really do it and you should really go with Roderick! 😁
Response from Roderick Nevin, Bagpiper:
Ashley, thank you so much for asking me to play at your reception. I was especially impressed with the young girl who surprised us with her Irish step dancing as I was playing jigs and reels! You and Alex are a wonderful couple, and I would love to come back to play for your anniversary parties!
Slaìnte,
Rod

My pleasure, Kay! I was very happy to play for your lovely wedding. Congratulations!
Rod was very professional. He showed up ahead of time and was ready to play within minutes. Very easy to work with. The event was my moms surprise 80th birthday and she was thrilled when he walked in playing for her. I would definitely recommend him for your event.
Response from Roderick Nevin, Bagpiper:
Thank you, Annette, it was a pleasure to play for your mom's birthday celebration!
Rod made my husband's surprise 50th birthday party so very special and unique. On very short notice, Rod came to our house and played both the Highland and small bagpipes for our indoor and outdoor event with high style. He played wonderfully, and even played requests, including traditional Scottish and Irish tunes as well as a special song by AC/DC. We were all delighted with his music and traditional Highland dress. Thank you so much Rod for filling our home with the sounds of Scotland. It is a memory we will never forget.
Response from Roderick Nevin, Bagpiper:
Thank you, Heidi, it was absolutely my pleasure! You were a very gracious host, and it was wonderful to have such an appreciative gathering of family and friends. I enjoyed being part of the surprise for your husband's 50th birthday party, and I'd be glad to pipe for you anytime again in the future!
Roderick was great to work with and did an awesome job with the military hymns and patriotic songs. I give him a 5 out 5 and would recommend him for your event
