Creagan More
Creagan More Pipes and Drums
North
Shore, Massachusetts
The Creagan More Pipe Band traces it's roots back to
2003, when the owner of a newly opened restaurant (the Cygnet) in Beverly Farms
contacted Richard Chane about organizing a group of pipers and drummers to march
with his float at the 4th of July Parade. The rest, as they say, is
history.
The name, Creagan More, means "large rocks" in
Gaelic, and refers to the rock bound, craggy coastline of New England. The
band presents a colorful appearance in that with the uniform, each member wears
a kilt with his or her own family or clan tartan
The band meets for practice in Beverly Farms,
Mass. and has members from all over the North Shore and Southern New
Hampshire.
Creagan More plays traditional tunes from Scottish, Irish and
American sources, and is available to be hired for parades or any other
appropriate event. Please feel free to contact us if you would like to hire a
single piper, a small group, or the entire band.
