"Eventide" and "La Beltaine"
Our harp trio is based in South Western Victoria, and this track is from our recently recorded EP.
"Eventide" is composed by our very own Pam Bennett, and "La Beltaine" is recorded with generous permission by composer Aillie Robertson.
This track features Sylvie Rogers on guitar, and Pam Bennett and Merran Moir on harp.
The vision, our EP cover, is a photo taken whilst cruising locally with Mako Ocean Adventures to Lady Juila Percy Island.
We thank Don Stewart at Unmuzzled Music Productions for this studio recording.

Fantástico
Lovely thankyou Merran this tune has memories of the O'Carolan Trio 2024 concert we did with you.
Memories of O'Carolan 2024 concert with you along with harp, fiddle and whistle . Lovely thanks
Did I see the look of love in that beautiful lady's eyes during the mid point tune?? I think so... You are a very cute couple. You musn't be married, because no married couple loves like this, at least at this stage of the game, but maybe that's why you two stayed together?? I'm on year 32 with number one at the moment, so not so shabby, and in my house, I'm the piper, maybe I can get my lovely darling to play the bodhran? It's never too late, I think.
Very Nice :)
Love bagpipes
Superbe!❤❤
Does anyone know of a good psychiatrist or therapist who specializes in treating, or at least consoling, us lads who have found that the lasses have not only become pipers but are better than so many of us?
Just listen to the lasses and enjoy that's the best therapy 😂
No! It’s Christmas and thus the perfect time to nuture resentments and abrasions of the ego. She is far too good and natural allow enjoyment without resentment. And, that guy with the tom tom isn’t helping tame my fit of jealousy either.
@@piperg6179 hahaha 🤣 well get better at the pipes then!
I have tried that getting better stuff since I was 14 years old, 70 years ago. Improvement became asymptotic by age 25 so now i just perfect jealousy. It’s easier and keeps my blood pressure up.
@@piperg6179 oh bugger well I suppose you're fucked as we say in Australia. LoL 😂 have a merry Xmas and try not to be too jealous 🥳 I'll think of you every time I listen to this wonderful lass play .
Names of the songs played?
The intro and waltz is called “The Untitled” by our son, Kyle. Then Miss Margaret Maclachlan (Trad); New Year In Noosa (Murray Blair) and The High Drive ( Gordon Duncan )
how do they do it?
Play list?
Awesome
what a beautiful waltz :)
Thankyou, it's written by our son, Kyle Moir, called "The Untitled"
I really enjoyed this, thank you at 68 I'm now finding it difficult playing the Ghb and am considering smallpipes, would you recommend any type and also bellows or blown? !
Smallpipes are great fun. I prefer bellows because the reeds last for a long time due to the dryness in the bag. But it is another skill to learn. Mouth blown ones are great as well, and coming from GHB is an easier transition.
I baught a set, struggleing with the bellows and finding a comfortable way of holding them, and tips?
Playing slow Tunes is definitely the way to go, the slower the tune the better so you can just concentrate on the bellows. And long, slow movements for each arm so you draw the most possible air in for each movement
Is he tightening the head tension with his hand to increase the pitch or just hitting different parts of the head? Those small pipes are amazing sounding. What maker are they from?
Mostly by pressing the skin with his hand
Gorgeous!!
I wish the two of you were still active here, as your playing is sorely missed!
Hi Daniel, it has been a while. We have another set coming, thanks for your encouragement, hope to get it up in the next week 😊
Lovely!
Excellent Pairing Of Small Pipes and Bodhran.........Lovely Playing Both.
nice job!
einfach nur schön
Scottish music with Irish instruments 🏴🇮🇪
Nope - the pipes are lowland Scottish and English, if anything.
I want to buy Scottish small pipes. Can you tell me a couple or decent brands to buy in the US. ?
Hi John, mine are Hamish Moore smallpipes from Scotland. I’m don’t have an extensive knowledge of makers in US but do know of lovely small pipes by Nate Banton.
Make sure you get a good set. Henderson Imports has been very helpful to me.
What is the Name of the tunes
Merran Moir 1 year ago The intro and waltz is called “The Untitled” by our son, Kyle. Then Miss Margaret Maclachlan (Trad); New Year In Noosa (Murray Blair) and The High Drive ( Gordon Duncan )
Many compliments for the beautiful High Drive.
I believe the tune was composed by Matt Seattle. Did you arrange the harmony? Beautiful. Very nice with harp also.
Hi Robert, it is Matt’s arrangement including the harmonies
Please do more videos. This is such joyful music.
Thanks Bill, in the process of doing another hope to get it up this week
Great fingers!
Bravo Belle complicité
Bravo!!
must learn the high drive. Great playing!
It's such a great tune!
The Blair Digital chanter is amazing and has brought my piping back to life. Great Playing Donald.
It's pronounced "bow-ron", correct?
Depends on where you're from. Bow-ron, boar-on, boor-uhn, and that's just the variants of irish pronunciations!
@D B boar-on is usually the way its said in the north and Scotland I believe
Now that was a crackin set.
Hey Merran and Pete, can you tell me the tunes you played? I keep coming back to this video it's so good :)
