Testimonials


The National Piping Centre have worked closely with Inner Ear for over a decade, and in that time, Inner Ear have made it possible for us to achieve livestreaming of many great events. The Inner Ear team are great to work with, from ideation and project set up, to problem solving on the day. Dougal and the team will work with you to create a great event set up and make the event as smooth as possible. They are very professional in approach and are prepared for all eventuality, including very poor internet signal in remote locations, and stay wonderfully calm under pressure.

The team are all very easy to work with, they understand that you maybe don’t understand the tech and are always open to answering questions, as well as making your vision for a livestream event come into being. Working with Inner Ear feels like an extension of our own team, helping making every event we work on as good as it can be and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

Helen Urquhart, National Piping Centre


Inner Ear have been an exceptional team to work with, not only in the quality of their productions, but in their relentless of pursuit of finding the best way to deliver a project — in spite of throwing countless challenges at them in remote Scottish locations.

Jim Wolff, Diageo


Inner Ear has worked with Cowal Gathering for several years now. Every year we ask their team to add something new, this year it was to provide a livestream of an additional stage, meaning broadcast quality video of all three highland dancing stages over the three days of the event. Cowal Gathering has a very discerning audience who are looking for the smallest nuance in each of the dancers. This means the live stream has to be both high quality and stable, to allow viewers from across the world the best possible view of what’s happening live.

With event costs rising we looked at how we could monetise this year’s livestream and took a hybrid approach, where we offered two and a half days of viewing free and put the World Highland Dancing Finals behind a paywall. This was the perfect solution for us, for this year and Inner Ear was able to provide this service professionally and without question. As well as providing Cowal Gathering with a first-class service, which frees up my time to concentrate on other aspects of the event, the team is helpful, knowledgeable and great fun.
