Christian Haerinck plays with the 78th Fraser Highlanders and will be featured this week and next with Irish Moutarde at La Suite in Saint Roch with more shows on St Patrick’s Day.

"My brother and I were doing a lot of Medieval parties," said Christian Haerinck, "and we were friends with some Scots who did Medieval re-enactments and I would wonder why nobody played the bagpipes."

So began Haerinck's infatuation with the fabled Scottish instrument, which he has now been playing for 10 years.
