The Cincinnati Emerald Society Police & Fire Pipes & Drums
is in the initial stages of starting a Pipe and Drum Corps. We are seeking assistance in this endeavor to establish a core of new student pipers and drummers. Currently we have a number of members and students who possess musical talent, ability and enthusiasm for this undertaking. We are also seeking any other assistance experienced pipers may be willing to provide to our group. Our corps of experienced pipers and drummers have appeared in many Irish events and celebrations throughout Cincinnati, Hamilton County, and the Tri-State area, as well as throughout the Nation and as far away as Sweden. The Cincinnati Emerald Society Police & Fire Pipes & Drums is a new group in the Hamilton County, Cincinnati, Ohio and Tri-State area. There is no doubt that Pipers like we have in our band who have come from such a large piping environment, whereby Piping was and still is a way of life and hobby for us, we can and will add that something special to any event. Coming from the type of Piping background that we have to offer you, we know, that we are qualified to offer you our services as your "Personal Piper" without question. Whether It be for your Fund Raisers, Family Gatherings, Celebrations, Scottish & Irish Gatherings and Games, Police & Fire Events, Weddings or a special one of a kind Bachelorette Party, Corporate Event, New Years Party, Masonic function, etc, the list is endless, we can and will, give you and your guests a time to remember, for all the right reasons! Of course, we also play for funerals too. Nothing is more poignant than the sight of Piper and sound of the Pipes preceding the cortege prior to the service, and then afterwards the Piper playing in the distance during the committal. Whatever the event we will gladly advise organizers as to which tunes are most appropriate to the occasion. Our prices are amongst the most competitive in the area and start from $100.00 for a single piper for 1 hour (event depending), to $800 for the entire band (depending on event type) and a non returnable deposit of $50.00 is also required upon booking. Molly Malone's in Covington Ky, is the home of the Cincinnati Emerald Society Police & Fire Pipes & Drums who are recruiting new members, fans of our Band, and anyone interested in Piping & Drumming.
The band meets for practice Mondays at 7:00 PM at Molly Malones, 112 E. Fourth St. Covington, Ky. on the third floor of the pub. Please feel free to come by to see us. Remember to be in the Emerald Society is an Honor! To be Irish is a blessing! Erin Go Bragh!!! May those who love us love us. And those that don't love us, May God turn their hearts. And if He doesn't turn their hearts, May He twist their fingers, So we'll know them by their piping! If interested call Gerry 513-404-0049 or Seamus at 513-403-5775 * free lessons* To those wanting to join the band or become a part of a truely great Irish Tradition. |

Just Happened:
On Monday the 6th of July we had practice, and what a great one it was. The usual wankers were there along with our Cincinnati Fire guys, and our Cincinnati Police guys, and Cincinnati Police supporters, and our Probation Officers supporters as well as the general public and community that helps us remember why we love doing this.
Gotta tell ya… WE WERE GIVEN OUR OWN BASS DRUM!!! Now how awesome is that! A donation to pay for two kilts, with more donations coming in all the time.
Now we started on pipes and marched out side, played great and sounded awesome as usual (no shite here lads/lasses it was fecking awesome) and the outside crowd loved it, passer by’s stopped and watched and listened and took some snap shots, and we keep drawing them in to the pub and us.
Inside we hit the chanters, and I kept a beat, the newbie Nancy is doing great and sounding really good, she’s picking it up pretty fast and learning quickly. Big Lance Donaldson took her aside and worked with her, and once we were done on the chanters we ended with our show set and rocked the house. Everyone loved it and someone bought us a round of brews for playing so well and entertaining them.
The kudo’s just keep coming and we sound great, love a band that progresses every week and this we are doing.
So come on out and have some fun while practicing, and practice your tunes, practice your tunes, practice your frig’n tunes!!!
Have a great week Boy’o see ya next Monday and remember to practice your tunes, practice your tunes, and practice your frig’n tunes!!!
Erin Go Bragh!!!
