Dr. Troy Hall from Charleston, SC was looking for a bagpiper for a New Year's Eve party. He booked bagpiper [Mike Hostler](https://www.gigmasters.com/bagpipes/mike-hostler-bagpiper) from GigMasters and shared his story with us!

"It was a neighborhood gathering hosted by Terry and Michelle Duffy. Mike Hostler, Bagpiper Extraordinaire, provided an hour of lively entertainment helping our group of friends ring (aka blow) in the New Year. From his personal stories of serving in the Cleveland Police Fife and Drum unit to playing the crowd pleasing Auld Lang Syne at midnight, it was a magical evening." 

 

Dr. Troy left Mike a 5-star review: 

 

*Mike was outstanding. He added just the right touch of his background story with the music. Our friends were “blown away.” Pun intended. What a great guy. Peace always! *
