About Us
The members
of Claddagh Mhor Pipe Band each have their individual history, but
as a group we are looking toward the future. We are focused on
quality and with that, eventually competition.
The name "Claddagh Mhor" is derived from the claddagh, a symbol
of friendship (hands), loyalty (crown) and love (heart); and the
gaelic word, mhor (pronounced more), meaning great or big.
The band is registered with the
Eastern United
States Pipe Band Association (EUSPBA) and will compete in Grade
V in 2011. Of course, we'll have to pay the
bills, so we will participate in parades as well. All of the
proceeds we receive will be used for equipment, uniforms,
instruction and transportation.

The band tartan is Ireland’s County
