2007 Bratach Gorm winner Chris Armstrong plays some of the tunes in his repertoire requiring faster fingerwork, including his own compositions. The pipes are his rather distinctive silver/gold Naills.
Had the opportunity to learn a few lessons from him at Piping centre. Setting some serious goals for pipers beginning out like us! Take a bow Chris Armstrong!! What a fantastic speed and precision, jaw dropped!
Chris's skill in piping is quite extraordinary. I'm in the process of learning Bonnie Dundee on the pipes and I have improved my dexterity in my right hand in learning it. I give kudos to Chris for having this magnitude of talent....and dexterity!!!
This is amazing. I am a bagpiper and have played for about 4 1/2 years now, and know that in fast song, such as, that it is EXTREMLY hard to stay this loose in the finger for this long. Wonderful work!
Only a couple of weeks to go before the London Annual Competitions (known as the 'Bratach Gorm', after the main prize) of the Scottish Piping Society of London are held on Saturday 1st Novenmber 2014 at Kensington Town Hall/Conference Centre, Hornton Street, High Street Kensington in London (on all day from 9 am). This is a world-class series of major competitions, that attracts top solo pipers from around the world, as well as up-and-coming piping stars of tomorrow. (See the Society's website for further info.)
I've been playing for 4 years and I cant comprehend how this is even possible, he has made sounds and rythym patterns come out of the pipes that i couldnt have imagined.
Amazing!!!!!!! I am a ten year old piper and play in Stirling schools pipe band I get lessons with Chris armstrong at the piping centre it is very inspirational and hope I had a job like that
I have , frankly, never heard anything quite like this. I'll go back to 'My Fair Maid of Barra". I never dreamed that a chanter could respond that fast.
