Date Fri Jul 30 15:19:24 2021 Name Leslie Bastarache Address Wayland, MA email ljbastarache@comcast.net Comments 7/30/2021My siblings and I wanted to have a bagpiper play at my father's funeral, held just a few days ago at Faggas Funeral Home in Watertown.  At the suggestion of the funeral director, we hired Iain Massie. At first, Iain thought that he would not be able to play at our dad's funeral because he had another engagement. He asked me to send him the details, and he would hook us up with one of his colleagues - which my siblings and I thought was very gracious!  As it turns out, Iain was able to play at our dad's funeral. He was fabulous!!!!!Iain and I connected via text messages, which was very convenient. He asked me to send him the details of where and what time and when we thought we would like him to play.  We wanted him to play as the grandkids escorted our dad from the funeral home (we had a private morning gathering) into the church and then out of the church.  As Iain informed us, generally, the piper does not play at the funeral home, but since our dad was being buried at the National Cemetery on the Cape, and Ian would not be going there, he would play at the funeral home.  Iain shared an excellent point, "Too much bagpipes diminish their effect at the important moments."  That is something that never occurred to my siblings and me.Iain honored our requests for songs, but if you are unsure what songs to play, Iain will play appropriate music, so you don't have to worry about it if you are unsure. Our family requested Amazing Grace coming out of the funeral home, Going Home into the church, and a breathtakingly beautiful variation of Taps, which Iain suggested, as my dad was being escorted out of the church.  This was particularly poignant as my dad was a Korean War veteran.  Iain had sent us a video with him playing this variation of Taps so that we could preview it before the funeral.  What a comfort to hear Iain play beforehand!!Iain showed up as scheduled. As he mentioned to me, "I'm always ridiculously early."  He played exactly when, where, and what he agreed upon. My family and I received so many compliments on Iain's piping.  It was so beautiful! My siblings and I agree that Dad loved it!Iain was very reasonably priced, and he was paid by Venmo, which was convenient.Iain was professional and flexible and made the whole process easy.I would hire him again in a minute! Best of all, his piping was extraordinary!

Iain was the highlight of our Scotland series. Piping on the green in front of the library stopped traffic, helping us advertise our event. After piping the crowd in, he gave a lecture about the bagpipes. He spoke about the history of the pipes, the difference between the Irish and Scottish pipes, how he began and what to do if you were interested in learning how to pipe. Iain was informative, knowledgeable and charming in his presentation appealing to both young and old. His training, discipline and pride were apparent in his performance and his manner. Iain made us proud. So proud that we invited him back to participate in Robbie Burns Night!

My daughter, Kate, became Mrs. Brendan Klaes. What made this day extra special was her request to have Iain play Highland Cathedral on the bagpipes as her brother escorted her down the aisle. It was an incredible moment for us all.Iain not only accommodated a time change(he was there an hour early and in full regalia in the 90 degree heat), but calmed the nerves of this M.O.B.(Mother of Bride!)with a much appreciated sense of humor. Thanks, Iain! This was the third time Iain's beautiful piping has provided joy and comfort(at my late husband's funeral) for our most grateful family.

Date Tue Mar 8 19:52:30 2011 Name Barbara Whitesides Address 124 Grasmere St., Newton, MA 02458 email bawhitesides65@gmail.com Comments This winter the Newton Community Chorus wondered how on earth it was going to thank and pay tribute to our outgoing president, who had served an unbelievable six years when the normal term is only one year. Because we knew he loved bagpipes we decided to surprise him and therefore hired Iain Massie, who came recommended as the best bagpiper around. No one who was there will ever forget it. Iain showed up in his full regalia and came down the hall playing his pipes and walking slowly and majestically into the room where we were having our end of term party. Tears and smiles of gratitude and amazement lit up the room.Iain can play any kind of tune you want, from dancing to funereal. He is a superb musician, and there is no music as compelling as the bagpipes. You won't regret adding this wonder to your festive or somber occasion. You will love hiring him.

Date Sun Oct 31 17:46:37 2004 Name Heather E. Pottle Address email hepottle@comcast.net Comments P/M Iain Massie,Thank you on behalf of my whole family – Westie included – for the vital role you played in my little sister’s wedding. Your whole performance was truly perfect. The sound and demeanor of pipers for us have always signified the coming of a memorable, long-awaited, and well-earned moment in one’s life. Your commanding performance provided a structure and credence to the atmosphere Jess and Dave worked hard to create: one of mingled tension of joy and solemnity, of hopes for the future and reverence for the past, and of respect for everyone present and for those who could not be.Though the ceremony was an eclectic mix of traditions and inventions, and though the organization of the ceremony at times accommodated the spontaneous spirits of the bride and groom, your unwavering professionalism provided an undercurrent of order from the time you welcomed the first guest until you led the last guest to the reception.Professionalism and ceremony aside, your subtle warm and witty personality helped guide my sister during the long wait before the processional. You accommodated her (very!) last-minute changes to the musical selections and you quietly organized and advised those of us in the processional (giddy and nervous) as to when and how to proceed down the aisle. To me, the most poignant moment of your performance was when, after piping all guests into the reception at the entrance of the Log Cabin, you played one final tune outside, at the back of the cabin, facing the vast expanse of trees, so that your tune was heard as a final, distant acknowledgment of the ceremony. With that last tune the wedding ritual lingered, flickered, and faded as the joyous celebration of a new life began inside.The whole Pottle family deeply thanks you again for your priceless contribution to our observance of newlyweds Jessica Pottle and David Bailey’s eternal union.Thank you.

Nothing about your rich history of family, musical education in Scotland, the formative and traveling years that have led to your current status. It seems you are a "natural" for your chosen profession.In Boston, Scots and Irish are interwoven into it's fabric of life since the cities beginning; mayors and governor's, the local pubs serving green beer on Saint Patrick's day to the citizens.

Anyway, I was surfing the net trying find a screen-saver of Dreghorn when I came across your site! The pictures so far of the camp are of The Gordon Highlanders on the parade-square and (from your web-site) when you were a student(was Korky there too?). But I don't suppose if you have any photos of the camp when you were an instructor? The main reason why I would like a photo of that time is because it's where my piping career started from.Finally, to talk about your site. I particulary liked the way you advise people to hear the piper play first before a booking. I know from personal experience if my business-profile isn't convincing, my presentation always works. And that note, I'll finally finish off by saying thanks for your efforts as an instructor towards my tuition.Regards,Ronnie.

Date Thu Nov 21 16:30:48 2002 Name Sherri Boivin Address email salougee@msn.com Comments In 1999 I visited Scotland for the first time. The first thing I saw was a bagpiper, piping a wedding. After a few weeks of hearing bagpipes there I knew I had to have a piper play at my wedding. After a lot of research I found Iain Massie and I could not have been happier. I was married on September 7th, 2002. Iain piped prior to my wedding and after. I also had him piping as guests arrived at the church. But the best part for me was the recessional. Iain piped my new husband and I down the aisle and out of the church. I could not have been happier. Iain was wonderful. I would recommend him so any occasion that you want a piper at.Thank you Iain for making our day more special.Sherri & Chris Boivin

Date Fri Mar 15 23:23:13 2002 Name Dana MacKay Address email djdmackay@yahoo.com Comments I'm sorry to hear about Gio Ferro. I remember a couple of you guys (Tim,Rob) from when you played with Castle Island Pipe Band. I was a rank beginner among you, always playing with my chanter plugged up. By the time I was "almost" good enough to play, the pipe band disbanded. Someday I hope to make it back into the ranks. I'm out terribly out of practice, but slowly finding time to practice.-Dana MacKay
