Was at the Armed Forces Day event (25 June 2011) and you guys (Bag)Rocked! Your rendition of 'Chasing Cars' just blew me away - goosebumps man, goosebumps. Your selfless gesture of donating all proceeds of your merchandise on the day to the Armed Forces was way above and beyond the call - thank you - and has earned you the position of 'Honorary Member Of HM Forces', welcome in any Military location around the world. Keep On (Bag)Rocking!!!

I just wanted to let you know that last Saturday's evening ended up being an OUTSTANDING evening! The Red Hot Chilli Pipers were amazing and after having the chance to enjoy their live performance, I completely understand their success! The company that hired me (Candilikas S.L.U.) was very nervous about that night as it was the culmination of the trip for the Spanish group. I was very confident that everything would end-up being great. Both The Balmoral and the Red Hot Chilli Pipers exceeded my expectations. The clients, who had no idea about what was organised, were shocked when the Red Hot Chilli Pipers entered the room. They immediately stood up and enjoyed the performance. The band was amazing and they moved all around the Suite. Once the performance was finished, we took a group picture with the band. The clients were all like "It's already finished?? What should we do now?? We want more!!".
The guys from the band were really cool and I loved the performance. Therefore, I would like to thank you as well as the band for having helped me in making an event a memorable one.
Once again, thanks a lot for everything!
With kindest regards,

Hey boys, my wife and I saw you at BB King's the other night, and I haven't stopped talking about you since. I've seen the Grateful Dead at the old Spectrum in Philly, I've seen Randy Newman at Carnegie Hall, I've seen Billy Joel at MSG on New Year's Eve, and your show could easily have been the best concert I've ever witnessed. Absolutely, mind-blowingly awesome ... job well done, boys, job well done. I am spreading the word ferociously and I will not miss you again if you come back to NY. Thanks, Andrew

I’m sure the Red Hot Chilli Pipers have had many many accolades, but I would just like to add one more to that long list. Many of our guests had never heard of them, many of our guests didn’t like bagpipe music, many of our guests were very traditional in terms of this type of event, but ALL of our guests were just blown away! There were a lot of serious messages that we had to get over in our speeches during the event, so to have the ‘Chillis’ perform at the end just totally lifted everyone’s spirits and all went home absolutely reeling!

Gail, we can't thank you enough for sending us the RHCP. They were terrific. On top of all that talent, they're such nice guys. It's the best Friday night we've had in all sixteen years. Everyone loved them. They have so much energy. We'll send pictures. Thank you...thank you...thank you....Maura

The band had an amazing concert at the Bushnell Theatre in Hartford on the 10th September! And we agreed that it was perhaps the best concert we have ever played as a band!
So we were delighted to come across this amazing review of the night!

No-one falls asleep at a Red Hot Chilli Pipers gig. They are, as their opening medley’s quote from Robbie Williams confirms, here to entertain you. And they do. Blending superb traditional and not so traditional bagpiping and snare drum skills with well choreographed showmanship, chanter-guitar battles and songs from Coldplay, Snow Patrol and Queen, the Chillis give the jugglers on the Royal Mile a run for their money and – make no mistake – rock the house. Not sure about the inclusion of Highland Cathedral but we’ll let that pass due to the otherwise major feelgood factor.

RED HOT CHILLI PIPERS IN AVILES (Another Spicy Testimonial) 23-07-2010 We really missed you last year at our Intercéltico Festival but fortunately we had the chance this summer to see your third performance in our city and as usual we enjoyed every minute of it. The venue this time was Carbayedo Park, the perfect location for an unforgettable concert. Right in the middle of the park there is a well preserved “horreo”, a traditional Asturian construction, which is a well known icon of our region. It has quietly witnessed over more than a century a wide variety of events giving evidence that as far as music is concerned, traditional and rock songs can go hand in hand if they are arranged by true professionals. Once again the park was crowded with people who came to see the “Chillis” play the bagpipes and drums as only masters can do and they were escorted as always by a rock band that is second to none. We know you are busy people who are literally touring the world. That is why it is a privilege for us to have you here. We hope that with our feedback you will feel at home and keep coming back in the future. I would sincerely like to thank Steven Black, the man behind the drums, for being so friendly every time we meet and keeping me up-to-date about the gigs and the band’s new projects. Keep up the good work, mates. Miguel Avilés-Asturias Spain
