March no more my soldier laddie, there is peace where there once was war. Sleep in peace my soldier laddie, Sleep in peace, now the battle's over. Your pipes have a beautiful tone, more smooth than the highland pipes. Retired Bugle Major, Bugles, Pipes and Drums of a fine British Regiment. Lest we forget.
Great, I have borrowed a set in G and was not liking them much compared to my D...until...heard you playing this. Known the tune since a bairn and can play it, but not with your highland grace notation and am very envious of your training and skill to play in that manner - will keep on trying. Thank you.
I've been playing this tune for over forty years and will be playing along on November 11th. Would be nice to hear a harmony part too :-) Link to College of Piping not working at this end by the way :-(
Nice! I never play my border pipes any different gracenotes wise ) than my great highland, I really don’t see the problem. And border pipes are definitely not in the English tradition- Scottish (reel pipes)
The Scottish border pipes do sound awesome. These are slightly different to the Scottish ones, more akin to the Flemish pipes so it’s harder (not impossible) to do the full highland cravings. There is definitely an English tradition of piping it’s just not very well known about.
@@pipervix Cool! Love your videos. I play a Lindsay System smallpipe and am enjoying delving into other types of pipe music thanks to the extended range. Keep up the good stuff!
Love the border pipes, thanks! BTW, have you checked out Will Woodsons TH-cam channel? He's a border pipe maker from Maine, USA. Very interesting non-traditional border pipes. Cheers! :)

Every night, I listen to the pipes before bed.
Sounds very good, greetings from Germany!
Both versions beautifully played and very much enjoyed. 👍🎶❤️
Simply beautiful. Thank you for this.
"Highland pipeness" - wonderful!
I love this lady! Hi, I'm Jay from Boyd Reeds. ❤ (Yes, it's true. 😆)
A gorgeous sound (in G) form an equally gorgeous lassie. Thanx for this rendition Vix!
Thank you so much for playing this magical musical instrument...🙏

Hundred years anniversary!
Centenary perhaps
They actually have a similar sound to highland pipes just not as loud.
Yup. :D
Very well done!
Hello, wondering what pipe maker made your beautiful pipes, I’m guessing Mr Swayne?
Love it - thanks!
Beautiful pipes and player😁
Tee-hee, isn't she😍
Didn't even know the english had their own version of the bagpipes. Lovely.
Most people don't!
Check out the Cornish double pipe
Not English pipes, they're border pipes from the border region. Same as how Northumbrian small pipes arnt English either, they're Northumbrian.
@@GeordieHandle Northumberland is part of England, surely
Bagpipes aren't even originally scottish! Every country has its own version of the bagpipes.

Ah, that was the link for the event last year. So it’s been and gone. I’ll update it. :)
Lovely❤️❤️
Lovely, what key are these in?
❤love you ❤

Very nice the sound of the pipes. Is it possible to overblow the chanter to get higher notes?
Hello! Yes it is possible on these pipes, I can play G A and B and if I try really hard sometimes a C. (These are pipes in G)

Are these essentially the same as the Northern France pipes?
Pretty much. :)

are these bellows pipes?ps
Yes they are indeed.
Just wondering. How much louder than small pipes are border pipes?
They're quite a bit louder, but no where near as loud as highland pipes.
Are you ok
Love the border pipes, thanks!
