This is ma little brother and am proud to see him play the pipes :) took after our papa and I wish I turned back time to start playing! #bestpiperinscotland
Oh my goodness!!! A fully brilliant performance! There couldn't have been anyone capable of placing near you. I interrupted the soaring Mozart Requiem from our Gonzaga University to listen to this. Now, after hearing you, I don't want to hear anything more than the ticking clock. I think I shall go to bed early now, and cry myself to sleep!!!
This kid reminds me of myself at that age as a young piper. Playing super fast and bending notes all over the place. I am a strict traditionalist now but that was fun when i was young. He is certainly an amazing piper.
Like Stuart Liddell, he can play an MSR and piobaireachd at the highest level, but can kitchenpipe with the best of them. Fred Morrison comes to mind as well.
@@TheTweedhope Thanks for that Duncan - I must have remembered that incorrectly. I have it somewhere on a photocopied sheet (amongst a thousand others) - I'll have to find it and check it out.
It's a Gaelic air called "Theid mi dhachaidh 'chrò Chinn t-sàile" (Eng: 'I will go home to KIntail"). One version can be found in the Scots Guards Collection 2, on page 120.
The first tune is a slow air, called "I Will Go Home to Kintail" (in Gaelic 'Theid mi dhachaidh 'chrò Chinn t-sàile') The tune can be found in the Scots Guards Collection, Volume 2 . The second tune is a march called 'Helen Black of Inveran' - I do not know where the music is published. Also see this video of the National Youth Pipe Band of Scotland (from 1:18 onwards) th-cam.com/video/A0gYoGHhNeY/w-d-xo.html
Outstanding medley from Connor as usual and the performance was worth 1st. I would rank Connor up there with the top solo Pipers today, including Jack Lee SFU and Gordon Walker. A total joy to listen too. Great technical execution on the chanter and his pipes, need I say anything else apart from well done young man ;)
Reaper 130 - Connor is NOT wearing an Irish hat !!! He is wearing a Balmoral bonnet: Balmoral is in Scotland. The Balmoral bonnet is the same as worn for hundreds of years by the highland clansmen of Scotland. The Glengarry bonnet is an adaption of that. The colour of Connor's bonnet is Lovat green, to match his waistcoat.

Nah seumas Coyne would’ve won it all
What a talented lad. I Really enjoyed that.
And the McPhee's sound grand.Cheers and all the best.

I believe that this lad can play these tunes in his sleep. Well done!
Great piping 😲
beautiful sounding pipes. Powerful. Has more to d with the recording. Awesome none the less.. MacDougalls?
The first jig he plays was The Boys of Ballymote, into Chloe's Passion
Reel is the Galty Rangers by Bruce Gandy
Not sure my friend. My major feeling is Donald McPhee of Glasgow. I could be wrong but they are definitely 1 of the 2
Does anybody know the name of the jig he plays after that first strathspey? I've been keen on learning it, but I don't know where to find it!
Anyone know the Strathpey?
I wonder what kind of pipes those are?
Thought his chanter was gonna pop off
Tunes names?
Can anyone name the air the jig starting at 1:53 and the strathspey starting at 2:45? Thanks
Jamie Brownlie The jig is The Boys of Ballymote, but I'm not sure about the strathspey, sorry.
Jamie Brownlie sorry mate I play that jig can't remember the name thow
Why is he wearing an Irish hat? He should be wearing a glengarry

If that’s his take on this he should stop addressing the video
