CEUD MILE FAILTE
Maine Bagpipe player and professional musician Jeff
Herbster from Brunswick (Clan MacKay) will provide you with a wide range of
musical services for any occasion. From weddings to funerals, the sound of the Great Highland Bagpipes will
stir emotions and provide a memorable experience, all at an affordable rate. In addition, bagpiping demonstrations
and talks on Scottish heritage and traditions are given free of charge to church, charitable, civic, and school organizations.
I also perform at smaller venues with the Scottish Smallpipes, both mouth-blown and bellows-blown. So please
explore my website, read a bit about me, and
check out some of the links.
The tune playing in the background is called "Morning Mist".
I wrote it a few weeks back, and it is being played on a Bansuri, a bamboo flute from Northern India. Enjoy!!
"To the make of a piper go seven years...At the end
of seven years one born to it will stand at the start of knowledge, and leaning a fond ear to the drone he may have parley
with old folk of old affairs. Playing the tune of 'The Fairy Harp', he can hear his forefolk, plaided in skins,
towsy headed and terrible, grunting at the oars and snoring in the caves. He has his own whittle and club in 'The Desperate
Battle' where the white haired sea rovers are on the shore, and a stain's on the edge of the tide; or, trying his
art on Laments, he can stand by the cairn of kings, ken the colour of Fingal's hair, and see the moon glint on the hook
of the Druids"
