Ciaran Gallagher Hi Ciaran, in the Irish Guards they are the traditional brooch pin closures. Similar to this one www.britishbadgeforum.com/pipers_badges/tara_brooch.jpg Hope this answers your question.
@@dunneincrewgear As of 2016 4,000 Irishmen served in the British army? And also the Irish guards have played both republican and unionist songs on marches before. For example I believe on the Queen’s birthday parade marching down the mall they chose a song from the republic and then the sash
@@dunneincrewgear This should be fun, go on explain what part of The Sash is sectarian? The Sash has been played in many forms by Irish Regiments, in the British Army through out the years, it is part of the heritage as much as Wearing The Green, which is also played to level it out to show that both traditions are respected by those who serve in the regiments.
Yep the Irish guards always play minstrel boy followed by the sash. It's a tribute to both sides of the Irish communities. Bit of history with both tubes.
Absolutely no need. They are so good at what they do , they don't need to play divisive tunes like that, considering people from both sides of walk in Ireland gladly join up to wear the uniform.
grown up all the Irish Regiments in the British Army have a tradition of playing The Sash and The Wearing of the Green together to represent all traditions in the Regiments.
Where's the difference between these pipes and the Scottish Highland one? I'm currently fascinated in studying the Gaelic culture in Ireland and Scotland.
kinc, as a curiosity there are also bagpipes in France and north Spain. Basically, there are all similar with very small differences such dimensions of the pipes that as it has been explained, give a softer tone.
@@joseibanez227 also in India and Pakistan. In fact the current oldest record of bagpipes is found in that region. However, whomever started it was definitely onto something. Sounds great!
I had no idea they played “The Sash” in England, I’ve always wanted to see and listen to it live, it’s coming upto the marching season, maybe this year lol
@@hilarioushen4164 Both Prods and Catholics serve in the regiment, hence them also playing "the wearing of the green" in the video, if it was only Northern prods in the regiment it would just be the British regiment no?
You forgot 🇬🇧 The Irish Guards is a British Regiment. These days it is ~40% made up of men born on the island of Ireland, some (but not all) of them are from Northern Ireland and consider themselves British. The other ~60% are mainly English, Scots & Welsh. We're all related anyway, so it doesn't really make any difference - they are forever "the fighting micks", and the regiment has a proud combat history, with 6 Victoria Cross recipients across WW1 & 2.
Scotland is a part of the UK...also English and British don't mean the same thing, English, Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish are all equal partners of the union and are all considered British.
I'm a Brooklyn-born American but I can't help admiring the Brits' inspiring traditions.
Superb!!! Windsor appreciates and totally respects all regiments stationed in the town, both in Victoria Barracks and Combermere.... thank you all.
The Irish Guards don't play boring music, but rousing passionate music.
The Sash and Wearing O’ The Green, can’t get much mote cross community than that !

The Irish Guards are amazing, there's passion every time they march, I am humbled listening to them, they are staggering!!
Absolutely marvellous, no more words needed👍👏👍hope you are all keeping safe, kiaora from NZ.
Love the Irish Pipes an Drums, they step out smartly, no doubt about it, I also enjoy their playlists. Kiaora
Dont see much appreciation for it, much of it is gladhanding
Not every day you get to use the term "smartly" in a sentence. Always liked that word.
There's no such thing as Irish pipes and drums. It's a British army thing. They aren't English, so they must be a bit Scottish.
@@smck001 No such thing? Then why are there centuries old records of Irish pipes and drums being played in military settings?
“Quis Separabit.?” The motto of my husband’s regiment......The Irish Guards.

Tyvm for this posting, proud pipes an drums being played, kia kaha love the tunes an they stepping out proudly Kiaora from NZ.
Kk. Stirring stuff
Love to hear the Sash being played
The rising of the moon outplays the left footers sash
Fly it high for all the Irish boys that are forgotten
I love it..."The Sash My Father Wore" followed by "The Wearing Of The Green" ....lol
The second one was “ The rising of the moon”
It is old and it is beautiful...
Had the pleasure to work with some of these guys when in Munster, both at Batus 98 and Kosovo 99, amazing.......
Long Live Ireland.
This sends chills all over me when I watch this magnifenct. Shoulders. Marching . Totally breath. Takeing..
America loves Scotland. But the Irish have our hearts....
Violet. The pikes must meet together at the rising of the moon...if indeed that is your name and not a nom de plume
This is really interesting to see as my great great uncle was apart of the Irish guard
Don't forget they also played Kelly the boy from kilanne which is also a republican tune, maybe that's why they played the sash twice 😄
This particular sequence of tunes has Fare Thee Well Enniskillen; Kelly The Boy From Killane; Minstrel Boy; The Sash My Father Wore; The Wearing Of The Green.
GREAT TO HEAR THE SASH My FATHER WORE. PLAYED FIRST CLASS
Rebel songs and the Sash. Great to hear.
What? The Hat My Fatherr Wore?
William Wallace no.... the sash my father wore lol
Wonderful. And inspiring.
Kelly the boy from killane and enniskillen dragoons, sash, the wearing of the green , eireanns green isle , minstrel boy
Gordon Darker you forgot the rising of the moon.
Nafan AreFour wearing of the green/rising of the moon. Same tune.
The name of tune is IRELAND THE BRAVE
I've heard that the English always wanted the Irish pipers to lead them to lead them in to battle... the bravest
Bagpipes are more known to be Scotland’s thing. Many of Northern Irish are descendants of scots.

@@seb5572 the Irish also have their own pipes they used in battle. Sir Henry Sidney mentioned them in his reports,

Know that tune very well
Great tunes!❤️
My Grandmother was from Ennis,Ireland!!
lol straight from the Sash to the wearing of the Green...the irony is strong here! 😀
One nation, one people, one country, proud of Ireland, miss it so much
A few controversial marches here like
@@Weir436 its actually an Irish tune. The hat my father wore not the sash
Very moving!
first march is "fare thee well inniskilling." great Irish song. lots of versions here on youtube, with spoken lyrics!!
Love this. Question: does anyone know the origins of the Pipers brown kilts please? Look cracking. Thanks for posting.

Patrick McKenna old comrades
HM's Irish Guards are recruited from both sides of the border.
Played footie against them in Berlin about 1990 and they were mostly Manc's and Scousers.
AWESOME! What song?
A few. Kelly the boy from Killane, Minstrel boy, Lord Nelson(sounds like it, I believe Tommy Makem wrote it), and Rising of the Moon.
And the sash
@@garettforsgren7174 "Lord Nelson" is actually "The Sash"
One reminds me of the inniskilling dragoons
Do the Scots guards have pipes?
Yes, they do.

Anybody know the tune at 2:12 and again at 5:10?
The Wearing of the Green
rising of the moon
A tune/song of Irish rebellion against Britain.
the orange and the green
Thank god the Irish up most respect x
LONG LIVE TRADITIONS!!!!! 🍀
a little touch of The Wearing of the Green in there cheeky

Two types the bag pipes. The war pipes (the ones they are using) and The Uilleann pipes which are softer and played indoors
kinc, as a curiosity there are also bagpipes in France and north Spain. Basically, there are all similar with very small differences such dimensions of the pipes that as it has been explained, give a softer tone.
Oh I see, thanks for the replies
The Irish introduced, the bagpipes to the Scottish.
@@joseibanez227 also in India and Pakistan. In fact the current oldest record of bagpipes is found in that region. However, whomever started it was definitely onto something. Sounds great!

Different class 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Well its the irish guards so what u expect, its loyalist irishmen
@@gghost1224 then why would they play the wearing o' the green?
@@forkyicicle8904 it’s a mixed regiment both sides fight in the Irish guards from all backgrounds and traditions
They always play the sash when going past the city hall in Windsor because if you g in there's a big picture of King William of orange there
Should it not be the... Drums and pipes of the Irish guards
You are correct.
whats the first tune?
The Enniskillen Dragoons.
Ireland the brave
Wearing of the green or the sash my father wore
1:50 the sash! Love it 🇬🇧
💂♂️LEEEEEEEEFT!!!!!!!! ARMS!!!!!!!!!
love the mad irish
There not Irish, but Northern Irish who class themselves as British. Hence the Royal Irish Guards.🇬🇧

Mon the Micks ,Quis Separabit
Real Guards.
Tune-Minstrel Boy.
That’s why Americans don’t do parades , watch and learn
And don't wear tartan kilts and highland gear on St Patrick's Day! Take note! Plain saffron and caubeens.
Better than the Scots methinks. 😉
Scots and the Irish are Celtic brothers so as the Welsh.
Rising of the Moon. Minstrel Boy
Rebel songs. Love it
No irony there.
"Quis Separabit"
Who shall separate us. ?
hi, can anyone please tell me the name of the tune at th-cam.com/video/MTVE8N9GC7k/w-d-xo.htmlm30s 1:30, right after Minstrel Boy?
The Sash My Father Wore ,
Not as many pipers and percussionists as normal but still sounded great
Cold Streamer It's because members of Number 4 Company are currently on exercise in the Falkland Islands
it's amazing how your troops are in public. You'll never see a German Army unit marching through town like that.
FWIW it's more about Royal pageantry by the Household Division at a Royal residence rather than something purely military
Maybe because we've had too much German troops parading in the streets, in the past.
@@ibizenco More like not enough.
BW troops march through cities and streets all the time. What are you talking about?
The Micks were piped into Hamburg - what remained of it - in April 1945.
