Buglerforhire Reviews 

I had an immediate response to my email enquiring about a bugler.It was very short notice, needed someone within 3 days The response was polite, helpful, telling me of options available and very reassuring. Our bugler arrived early to observe where he was playing; he was resplendent in uniform and his playing was superb. We had 9 veterans at the service and all were delighted to have him present. Many thanks to all concerned and special thanks to our bugler.

I booked Antonio to play the Last Post & Reveille at a friend's funeral (friend had served in the military). His playing was beautiful, but he went beyond anything we expected.

Antonio liaised directly with the Church which was a real benefit at a difficult emotional time.

I was just expecting him to be there for the end of the service to play, but he went over and above what we expected - he was there at the church as the hearse arrived, was present during the service to the side, and then after playing was there at the end as we all walked out of the church, and he walked in front of the hearse to the end of the road.

It was hugely respectful, very much appreciated by us and our friend's widow, and a credit to him and his regiment.

I want to thank you for helping us say goodbye and honour our dad/ husband. Also for traveling so far in such terrible weather to make sure we made him proud. Thank you your kind words after the service.

Buglerforhire was amazing they went above & beyond to make my husbands funeral so perfect & special for him myself & all his family & friends would highly recommend them so professional but also so kind & caring

We hired a bugler at quite short notice for my fathers funeral.
They were fantastic Everyone commented on the perfection.
Arrived well before time, dressed beautifully and performed brilliantly.
Thank you

Highly recommend, Antonio was able to play at my Uncles funeral at short notice after the bugler we had planned pulled out. He did an amazing job last post was flawless

Great service for a funeral service for a local family. Will be using again. Special thanks to Lesley as well. Many thanks, John Adams

Fantastic service, easy communication and created a real moment for 1400 pupils at a large school! Would and will use again!

We used Antonio at St Mary’s to play the Last Post before KO for our Remembrance Day game against Aston Villa. He was so professional, friendly and talented. The feedback from the fans was incredible and we’re looking forward to seeing him again next year.

We contacted this company to request a bugler to attend our village school Remembrance assembly. They were easy to contact and very supportive of our requirements. We arranged a player to attend who arrived early and well prepared. Although we did not book a uniformed player, he turned up in a smart suit and was really accommodating of our COVID restrictions. His playing was superb and both parents and staff commented on his professionalism- I don’t think there was a dry eye in the room!
One of our children who would normally use ear defenders for loud noises, took off his ear defenders in order to hear him playing and commented on how special it was.
We cannot thank the company enough and will certainly be using them again in the future!

Antonio played the last post, spectacularly, at our recent Premier League fixture at Molineux Stadium. Live to an in stadium audience of over 31,000, with a global tv audience of millions he was note perfect.

Prior to the event his communication was brilliant, with all details sorted in great haste. An incredibly friendly gentleman who understood and catered for all of the expectations that performing at such a large scale event can create.

Thanks Antonio, we will see you again at Molineux next year!

Brilliant - Antonio sounded the Last Post and Reveille at Lichfield Cathedral for the VJ76 Service - which gave us goosebumps. He also sounded the Last Post and Reveille at the FEPOW Building at the National Memorial Arboretum the following day on 15 August 2021, which was wonderful. He also mixed with the guests and members on both occasions. On behalf of the Trustees of COFEPOW - Thank you for a job very well done.

Antonio was extremely helpful with our needs during COVID - he went out his way to ensure my dads service went as best as it could. Taking time to understand what was important and meeting those needs. Even gave great advice where necessary. Would most definitely highly recommend him and was a pleasure to meet him. All our family were thankful to him.

We hired Antonio for my fathers funeral, and I can honestly say he was absolutely amazing nothing was too much trouble. He listened to everything we wanted, even supporting with additional ideas. He was in regular contact before and after the service, and certainly made the day memorable for the right reasons. He was immediately dressed, and arrived early to meet the family , and explain what would happen, he also called us after the day to ensure we were okay, and to say how proud he was to be able to do it for Dad - outstanding service and a genuinely lovely compassionate guy, Would recommended him without hesitation.

Antonnio, did a fantastic job and played the last post at a regt funeral, he was well presented and in full uniform, every comment on how good he was.

Thanks Antonnio Pete

Have used Buglerforhire several times and always fantastic when you can get one. Outstanding musicianship and professionalism. Just the right touch at the right times and so very versatile for different occasions. Now our first point of call for a top class pro musician.

Antonia came and supported my schools Armistice Celebrations. He played for students in a number of assemblies - it was moving and poignant to hear trumpet calls being played whilst we watched footage of the WW1. Tony is an outstanding musician, he is completely professional in his attitude and approach - I could not recommend him more highly.

We use Antonio as much as we can for ceremonial services and parades or veterans funerals, Antonio is a first class professional musician, always turns out very smart in his ceremonial uniform, adding a touch of class in everything we do,

My brother was buried on the 31st of March at kings Norton Cemetery. On arrival there were four standard bearers stood by my brothers grave and nearby was Antonio. As we lowered my brother into his grave the standards lowered there standards and Antonio played the Last Post. My family were so moved by this and the professionalism of the pitch perfect last post. I would recommend Antonio to anyone who would consider a military style funeral. Thank you Antonio

It was our privilege to organise the funeral for our client who had already contacted Bugler For Hire, direct we were extremely impressed with the professionalism and organisation and would definitely recommend to other clients in the future.
