Bagpiper needed

ezliving · Mar 2, 2011

If anyone can refer me to a bagpiper available for a funeral this Saturday in Seaford/Laurel, DE, please contact me ASAP.

"Amazing Grace" and traditional funeral selections. Paid gig.

Thanks.

punchabear might be able to help. His family is heavy into the Celtic society of SOMD. He can at least point you in the right direction since we're so far away.
Also the Chesapeake caledonians might help
My son used to play. If he was still doing it, I'd drive him up and have him do it for you.

I "usedtocould" but I think the friends and family are suffering enough.

Good luck with it.

Is there a local chapter of the St. Andrews Society nearby? They will probably have someone who will do it.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I have a call in to my BIL who is a Firefighter. I should hear something back tomorrow morning.

Here's the Facebook page for the Baltimore Pipes and Drums (they are from all over Maryland so a solo member may be on the Eastern Shore).

Amazing Grace was played at my father's funeral, and the pipes still resound in my head after a year and a half. So sorry for your need of a piper.

Also try the national law enforcement officers memorial fund. They could find someone on short order in DE.

Check local Emerald Societys.
Most have a pipe band.

Wish I could help, but unfortunately I don't know anyone near that area.

ez -- do you have this squared away yet? In the unlikely event none of the numerous excellent suggestions pan out I may be able to track something down through my son's school. Bagpipes are big there but it's our first year so I don't have it all nailed down yet, but I know who to call...

Good luck & hang in there.

We had Jared Denhard play at our wedding:

He's a heck of a good piper.

Yes, he used to play in the gov's band, but he's a good guy.
