- This is Inveraray and District Pipe Band under Pipe Major Stuart Liddell playing what has become known as its 'Hector the Hero' medley in the Grade One competition at the UK Pipe Band Championships. The championships were held in the grounds of the beautiful Stormont Estate some four miles or so out of the city centre.
The tunes in this medley are:
William Grey, McPhedran's Strathspey, Puirt à beul (strathspey and reel), The Humours of Tulla, Major David Manson, Hector the Hero, Coppermill Studio, and Rory MacLeod.
The band was placed second overall in the Grade One contest.
the skill in this set with the precision is insanely intense
Brings back memories listening to nice sound my Dad was a member the great Fintan Lawlor pipe band Dublin of yesteryear
Earlsfort Photo Does he remember Dermot Kavanagh? I played in his Band in Australia, the Gosford City Pipes and Drums
best thing ive ever witnessed
Excellent 'dronechorus' I thoroughly enjoyed it. I now live on the sou-west shores of Nova Scotia, Canada where there are lots of descendants of our Scottish clans who were 'shipped out' over the centuries. One family I met are Cunningham's FROM Inveraray and you can be sure I'll be 'Sharing' your video with them, thank you for taking the effort to share good music to Scots around the world.
What, you don't think Mr. Dronechorus is trying to share good music with Italians too? Other countries love Scottish music besides Scotland; don't be so ethnocentric... (Jk, I totally know what you mean; Dronechorus is an excellent channel for lovers of good bagpipe music, no matter what their ethnicity... My mom is Scots, my dad is Italian, and I'm 100% Yank; my Italian grandparents visited Nova Scotia and even toured the Gaelic college there... They tried to learn some Gaelic words; if you've ever heard someone try to speak Gaelic with an Italian accent, you'll know how much we all laughed... Small world, eh? ✌)
DANG!!! I am trying to become a piper... 7 years to make a piper, my butt... going on 5 now and still don't feel close... But, I do LOVE watching when the snares find their groove, and know they are in it. Just a great set, awesome to hear, and fun to watch!
7 years to make a piper 21 to perfect...
I love the sun glinting off the drone's nickel.
Silver mounts my friend!

did you manage to record police scotland from the uks???? i do love listening to them
great video and sound. thanks for posting ! Did you manage to film SFU performance for the british championships ?
Hi Sébastien
Thanks for your comment. I'm afraid I am not planning uploading any more videos from Paisley. I did upload eight and this was as many as I could in the time available. SFU is under represented on this channel and I hope to redress the balance in due course.
Best wishes.
oh okay :) Thanks anyway. The sound is incredible !! ;)
Cheers
The first tune is NOT HECTOR THE HERO.??
The mutts nuts
Did someone leave the slow air too early!?
oh man ur right damn
Bad blowing on the 'b's in the first part too. Someone relaxed.
having listened to them playing this medley another time, the same sound of someone leaving the slow air was heard. maybe it was intentional idk though
Their opener's a bit Strathclydey, isn't it? It's quite pointed and deliberate; not sure this tune is best served up this way. Definitely's not the way the 78th F.H. played it in their Megantic Outlaw concert.
Jist enjoy the talent and never mind trying tae be a Simon Crowell clone ya chump!
The playing is magnificent. A bit of expression never hurt anyone.
Yes heaven forbid people change things up lol....
I was at the concert on Saint John, NB for the Magentic Outlaw concert...It was a spectacular performance...I am so glad to have been a part of it.
They have Bill Livingstones Blessing, we changed ' Leaving Lerwick Harbour from a slow air to a March, no one has said a word yet!
Worst f’s in the grade. Polluted with harmonies to hide them. Awful!!!
Cameron Currie You should apply for the job!
