Dear Mal,

..

..

Thanks again for playing such an important part in what was the most special day of our lives back in late August. Your bagpipe playing had most people in tears (myself included!) and I have had so much positive feedback about BUN’ BER E … you catered for all ages and musical tastes – everyone had a fantastic time. Thanks again. I consider myself privileged to know you.

Regards,

Marie & Rob Madgwick

Extract from RSL Magazine

Over the past 30 years, the Legion had the continual support of the family of Piper John Ketchion & sons, Ian and Malcolm. They have played at the VP Day services, childrens Christmas part, ANZAC Day concerts and other social events including funerals of members. I hear the Malcolm was the youngest (at the time chosen) to play the Lone Piper position at the Edinburgh Tattoo a few years ago. Now we would like to do something for Malcolm, I have no hesitation in recommending this group for your functions.

Dear Malcolm,

On behalf of St Andrew’s PWA, I would like to thank you for attending our Scottish Fair. Your music was enjoyed by all. It helped the fair atmosphere. I hope to see you again next year.

Yours sincerely,

Jenny Ridges (Secretary)

Dear Malcolm

While holidaying near Nambour of X-Mas/New Year, our Pipe Sergeant/and retired Pipe Major heard your band play at the Nambour New Years Day Scottish Gathering.

He was most impressed with your performance, and also the CD of your band’s music.

We would like to purchase (at least) 6 x CDs ….

The music was superb and the enthusiasm from the crowd wonderful. I must admit it brought back fond memories for me as my dear grandfather used to be a piper and I was brought up with the sound.

..

Once again, our sincere thanks to you and your band.

Kindest regards,

Lorraine D Mark
School Liaison Officer

Dear Malcolm,

To Whom It May Concern:

I am please to provide acknowledgement of the professional work and presentation of Bun’ Ber E Celtic Bands as the Queensland Fire & Rescue Authority Pipe Band at official functions.

I have had the opportunity on many occasions to observe the excellent way in which the services of Bun’ Ber E Celtic Bands has performed whilst carrying out the duties and responsibilities of the QFRA Pipe Band

This band has very professional, qualified musicians to an international standard and is held in high regard by the Scottish Community and the Queensland Pipe Band Association.

I would be pleased to validate the services of Bun’ Ber E Celtic Band as the QFRA Pipe Band.

Area Director

Another highlight of the show will be the performance by acclaimed Queensland band Bun’ Ber E who will be launching their first CD – Ceilidh at the show. Bun’ Ber E, publicly voted No. 1 Celtic Ceilidh Band, has an approach to Celtic music that sets it quite apart.

..

Bongoes and bagpipes may seen a quantum leap, as may double time reels that suddenly drop into military marches and reggae rhythms under waltzed, but in the hands of consummate professionals, good music is always good music – it just gets better.

..

Organizers say that the concert promises to be the best yet and recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.
