Good job Craig! I see these guys every year in Woodland CA at the highland games there... They actually attract a bigger crowd than the athletes or the dancers... Even the pipe bands (that's me!) can't compete with these guys for drawing power. They play fast and loud, and are totally down to earth, nice guys... Plus, their stage is always wisely located near a beer tent... Viva Los Tinkers!
I do too! 😢 I use to live in the central valley of CA & went to many of the highland/Celtic festivals and always was all the wicked tinker's shows! I was usually out in front bouncing along to the music!
For those who didn't know...and need an even further reason to love this man. That string around his wrist...his son tied it there and he didn't take it off. I assume if finally just fell apart. You can see it in some of the interviews and in his stand up from 2008. What a dad. There isn't a diamond, gold, whatever piece of jewelry out there that could impress me more.
I bought the RANT album...fantastic. Had it in the car, some young punk playing loud hiphop pulled up next to me at a stop light so.......yep, put the Tinkers in and he turned his off!! I smiled the rest of the day!!! Thank God for the Scots, thank God for pipes & drums, and thank God for Craig Ferguson.
They played @ the 2011 Celtic Music festival here in Ocean Shores. They were really the icing on the cake of a great festival. I hope they come back some day. They were simply awesome.
I saw them play several times at this small (but now defunct) pub in the SF Bay Area!! To hear them on CD is a crime!!! They were born to play LIVE!!! Great stuff!!!
I think I enjoyed this more than anything I've ever seen on Craig Ferguson show! I enjoy a lot of things but this is the best! Craig Ferguson as himself! I went right to the computer and bought four albums. But this is the thing I missed the most and the wicked tinkers. Ferguson just throwing down with them!
I happened to catch this episode when it aired, and have watched this video (or another TH-cam video of it) probably more than a hundred times, as I watch it two or three every time I find it
These guys are awesome. I've seen 'em in person at a couple Celtic fests I've been to here in town and they are the best! They seriously get into it and get the audience into it also.
Love his show... I Love the Tinkers! Wicked Tinkers Rock! Saw them in front of the New York New York in Las Vegas on the Brooklyn Bridge! The people on the strip just stopped and started bouncing to the music! :) It was great! Hopefully they will be in Las Vegas again this year! That show was so awesome, I can't wait to see it again! You can tell Craig here has played the drums before! He's got a beat too! :)
Finally some good music on American television. More, more, more! There are bands like this performing in Europe. Bring them over here. Please! Corvus Corax, Omnia, Faun, etc.
I met Aaron Shaw in person, once.... he judged my solo piping, and I spoke with him afterwards. When he was at the Las Vegas Games this last summer, i spoke with him then. Really nice guy.
Sure brings back many Happy, Blissful, and hair-raising, tingly Memories of watching TWTs live at a few Highland Clan Games and Gatherings here in So. California !! I watched Craig Ferguson sometimes, too !! Now I need MORE BAGPIPES again in my “sedate” retired GrMa life !!!! * we used to drink lots of Guinness and single-malt, stand in the front rows to see which lads had gone “ Commando”, too !!!!!! A few good spins and high-fly in’ Kilt always revealed Everything !! Hahahaha !!!! Warren and Alan usually went There !!! Haha!!! 😂
I've always liked craig. has anyone ever seen the movie saving grace? if you haven't you should, he was great in it. it's a sweet movie about marijuana. yes, I said sweet.
traditional culture based music is the some of the best music. not any of that hollywood mainstraim pop crap. im 16 and none of my age group enjoys traditional scottish tribal bands or african polyrythms. i enjoy all talent based music, not wats "hot". i pray that mainstream hip hop and rap grow old fast and ppl get back into the good stuff
@jimnmag This is actually in honor of him becoming an American. It's the second time he played with them, the first time was in 2006 (see video suggestions), and that was for his father.
I haven't watched this in a while, It is 2/1/10 and Craig has definitely loss quite a bit of weight since then......doesn't matter really, he still looks hot in this!!
I totally saw them with my grandma when I was little at some Irish or Scottish festival....For some reason I feel like I spelled Scottish wrong. Anyway, one of them told me that I looked like Brittany Spears...I didn't believe him, but I really appreciated his comment.
@JuicyCat2 If someone has never heard the pipes before you won't convince them to love them with youtube quality sound. Likewise, I won't try to convince you that tinkers are worthy of your love... but if you get a chance to listen to a cd or better yet, hear them in person I'd take advantage of the opportunity. If you like good pipes, you'll love tinkers.
@jimnmag It was actually a different episode. They were on that one but this one is much more recent. You can tell because he's older and he's got the salt n' pepper hair. It was a nice, respectful gesture, though, for them to be on that episode in honor of his father. I think this one is when he got his citizenship.
@jimnmag The episode to which you refer is on TH-cam as "Craig Ferguson 1/30/2006 - Eulogy Ending Wicked Tinkers feat Craig Ferguson". It was a different appearance by the group.
man, I miss Craig on Late Night. He was the best. Stinks what we have now.
Yeah Jimmy fallon and Jimmy Kimmel or TH-cam.
A big "dittos" to that , pardner.
I STILL miss Craig at night 😢😢😢😢
2023 is still here. Miss Craig and the wicked!
The wicked tinkers were on the show multiple times. This was NOT the episode where his dad died. This was the episode where he got his US citizenship.
I've watched this a thousand times and it still makes me cry.
I love Craig.
I like how he really gets into it
I can tell he made all his scottish bretheren proud haha
Good job Craig! I see these guys every year in Woodland CA at the highland games there... They actually attract a bigger crowd than the athletes or the dancers... Even the pipe bands (that's me!) can't compete with these guys for drawing power. They play fast and loud, and are totally down to earth, nice guys...

I see them every year at the games in Vista,Ca
I used to see them at the Sonora Celtic Faire, until I moved to FL :-( They're awesome, nice dudes and yes, always near the beer! Slainte'
That is the coooooolest thing....EVER!...
Have you ever seen a Talk Show hos do anything as cool as this? I don't think so!
Craig ruules!
The Wicked Tinkers are awsome!! I miss seeing them live on the west coast.
I do too! 😢 I use to live in the central valley of CA & went to many of the highland/Celtic festivals and always was all the wicked tinker's shows! I was usually out in front bouncing along to the music!
For those who didn't know...and need an even further reason to love this man. That string around his wrist...his son tied it there and he didn't take it off. I assume if finally just fell apart.

I just remember seeing this show the day it was on. And been waiting ever since to see it over and over again... Can't get enough of this...
Wicked Tinkers are a blast. I've seen them at least a half dozen times at various Scottish/Celtic festivals and they're always a lot of fun.
Love, love, love! If this music doesn't get you up and moving, nothing will.
Your dead if you don't start moving! 😂
From Hollywood to Woodland, CA. The guys were at the Sacramento Valley Games this weekend. Thanks Tinkers!
I bought the RANT album...fantastic.
Had it in the car, some young punk playing loud hiphop pulled up next to me at a stop light so.......yep, put the Tinkers in and he turned his off!! I smiled the rest of the day!!! Thank God for the Scots, thank God for pipes & drums, and thank God for Craig Ferguson.

So tell them on their fb page and ask the folks at the Celtic Festival!
2:48 That Scotsman yell. woo!
Craig's a musician!
Now *this* is why I love Craig! Yeah!! =D
I see these fantastic guys in Vista,CA every June.Even my Filipino wife loves them!
I saw them play several times at this small (but now defunct) pub in the SF Bay Area!! To hear them on CD is a crime!!! They were born to play LIVE!!! Great stuff!!!

His Scottish accent was waaay stronger during this! Love it.
He's pretty damn good, too :D
This. Is. SO. AWESOME!!! I
The Sonora festival was awesome
I happened to catch this episode when it aired, and have watched this video (or another TH-cam video of it) probably more than a hundred times, as I watch it two or three every time I find it
Every so often, I pull this up and enjoy it all over again. My heart is in this music.
I miss this show so much and I'm still finding pieces I missed
Favorite memory!
These guys are awesome. I've seen 'em in person at a couple Celtic fests I've been to here in town and they are the best! They seriously get into it and get the audience into it also.

I hooked to be watching Craig when this happened. I sat up in bed and grinned.

I'm proud to have Scottish in me :)
Hahahha I just saw them perform today at the highland games bellingham niiice....
Ok, so it's been three years. Time to bring them back, so I can watch Craig beat some drums.
I totally saw them with my grandma when I was little at some Irish or Scottish festival....For some reason I feel like I spelled Scottish wrong. Anyway, one of them told me that I looked like Brittany Spears...I didn't believe him, but I really appreciated his comment.
Wish I were Scottish. I Love to play the drums. :/

Aaron needed to have a mic I can hardly hear him.
thats what ime talking about

but all those emotions and memories for his father came back while he banged his drums. even 2 years later
