🥳🤩🥳🤩DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!🥳🤩🥳🤩 I am SO excited to announce that KIR, the Kirk McLeod Seven Nations Trio, will be performing for us at Fraser's Ridge Homecoming on Saturday evening after dinner! 🎵 In addition, they will be waking us up on Sunday morning with another performance 🎶 as we say goodbye to the Ridge! Even if you do or don't know anything about Kirk McLeod, Seven Nations or KIR, keep reading...📖Kirk McLeod is founder, leader, song writer/composer and lead singer for internationally famous Seven Nations Celtic Rock Band…with nearly 30 years performing across the country and around the world. Kirk and his 7N band was the first to introduce Celtic Rock music to the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games many years ago and continues to be the headliner band both at the Games' Celtic Rock Concert & on the MacRae Meadows Grove 2 stage.A professional Great Scottish Highland Piper trained by several renowned master pipers, Kirk first introduced the bagpipe to his rock band in the mid 1990’s and created a whole new genre of music that combined traditional Celtic instrumentation with pop/rock music. With a very few exceptions of existing Scottish songs, all of the music recorded and performed since then by Seven Nations has been written and composed by Kirk. The total library of original music includes over 19 albums.Kirk’s father was Scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and his mother was English. His Scottish family immigrated from the Isle of Skye and Glasgow beginning in the early 1800’s; journeying along with the thousands of other Scots who first landed along the coasts of North Carolina.After his parents met and began a family, Kirk ended up living, going to school and working in the U.K. during part of his youth and teens; moving back and forth between the U.S. and U.K. until eventually being hired to perform at Walt Disney World Epcot Center at the young age of 19.“KIR”, pronounced "keer", is a Scottish Gaelic word that has many meanings depending on its use. It is often found as the prefix for a variety of Gaelic words and just happens to be the first three letters of Kirk’s first name. The musical concept was inspired by Kirk’s Scottish family heritage and was officially given birth in 2014.As a solo expansion from his Seven Nations band, Kirk wanted to draw upon his Scottish culture and Gaelic language roots to create music that incorporated more of that ancient Scottish Gaelic and “vocables” into the lyrics of his songs. He was also looking to explore the opportunity to reach out beyond the specific Seven Nations band identity, dig deeper into authentic Scottish/Celtic musical influences and, once again, venture into a new musical genre arena.The KIR Trio offers the flexibility to blend Kirk’s original “KIR” compositions along with popular Seven Nations’ music for fans in both large and more intimate settings. Although the KIR Trio is technically a smaller lineup of musicians than the 5-person Seven Nations Band, it, nonetheless, continues to feature the same full sound. The Trio typically includes Kirk (on lead vocals, guitar, keyboard and—when not singing—bagpipes), plus his fiddler and drummer. KIR fans always come away richly entertained and with a whole new appreciation for the cross-over connection between the sounds of traditional Scottish/Celtic music and its contemporary interpretations.The music video by KIR below is called "Before The Move", with an introduction by Kirk's Gaelic vocal coach, Àdhamh Ó Broin, who many of you also know is the Outlander cast Gaelic coach (& also did a virtual appearance with Gillebride MacMillan at Homecoming 2018). Courtesy of Kirk, below is a link to the lyrics of "Before The Move" PLUS the story behind the song, the Outlander connection in the song, a bio of Kirk & Seven Nations plus a bio of KIR Music & Trio.drive.google.com/file/d/1NyzgCAL9x0PkICjhqM1hb9IC8nRh78j7/viewCan I just say that this is a pretty BIG deal for this NC country girl and I am CRAZY excited to have Kirk and KIR at Fraser's Ridge Homecoming 2021! 🤩😍🥳 You can visit their website plus purchase their latest album, A Time For Pilots, at sevennations.com. ...

“How shall I tell ye what it is, to feel the need of a place?” he said softly. “The need of snow beneath my shoon. The breath of the mountains, breathing their own breath in my nostrils as God gave breath to Adam. The scrape of rock under my hand, climbing, and the sight of the lichens on it, enduring in the sun and the wind.”
His breath was gone and he breathed again, taking mine. His hands were linked behind my head, holding me, face-to-face.
“If I am to live as a man, I must have a mountain,” he said simply. His eyes were open wide, searching mine for understanding.
“Will ye trust me, Sassenach?” he said. His nose pressed against mine, but his eyes didn’t blink. Neither did mine.
“With my life,” I said.
I felt his lips smile, an inch from mine.
“And with your heart?”
“Always,” I whispered, closed my eyes and kissed him."
