I am a Scottish piper,I grew up in the tradition,being taught by my grandfather. I am so proud of the legacy that I inherited,anyway I have made many friends in the piping world,from both sides,among them,several Irishmen.They are good lads,all of them,and they are very skilled,and I would be proud to march with them anytime. It irritates the hell out of me to hear uneducated people make the statement that the Irish are trying to steal the piping tradition from the Scottish. That's not true at all! The Irish have a piping tradition of thier own that goes back centuries.We are both Celtic people who share many of the same customs and traditions,and piping happens to be one of them.
Thank you for your kind words Dennis. I am an Irish piper, I'm not out to steal anyone's tradition, very much the opposite. Cultural nationalism may motivate some people to learn the pipes. But as we get older this becomes less important and it's just about improving our own piping, keeping our musical heritage alive and moving piping forward. I feel proud to see young ones learning be they Scottish, Irish, Breton, Galician, Canadian, American or wherever else. It's our community and our friends. I've gone to places I'd never have been had I not piped and met people I'd never have associated with otherwise. I loved it when our band competed, meeting lads in other bands every summer up and watching each other's children grow up. We have a decent drum corps again so we'll be back in the circle soon. My experience of people who like to pontificate about who 'owns' piping is that they are rarely members of our piping community and know very little of what we are really about.
To Mr.Bagpipes1971; Sir,I do appreciate the sentiment, you don't need to thank me for speaking the truth, You Irish are a good lot in my book, and I would gladly march and pipe by your side anytime.
Excellent my lads! Thank you for this! I leave the US for Ireland tomorrow and I hope I find the same beauty. I likely will not, but it warms my heart to hear my countryman sing! Thank you is all I can convey, and a beer in your honor is all i can drink!
@@galoglaich3281 Love the Scots piping, ta siad go hiontach. But Ireland has a long history of piping as well and dont let anyone tell you different, Fiach mchugh O Byrne had pipers in 1580 when he defeated a three thousand strong English army in Glenmalure Co. Wicklow Derricks images of Ireland circa. 1580 also shows pipers at the head of Irish Armys. Piping was outlawed here and our pipers no longer had their retainers. Learn your history boy before defiling our ancient nation through ignorance.
To answer some disparaging remarks made about Scottish/Irish bagpipes and the argument of two drones vs. three. The Scottish and Irish people are of same common stock. For centuries our peoples have lived together,traded together and developed a bond together so strong that the closeness between our cultures isn't duplicated any where else in the world. We share the same languages,Notably Gaelic and English. We share the two dominant religions of the area,CATHOLICISM and the Protestant denominations. We also share the bagpipes. The Irish aren't trying to steal the pipes,they have played them just as long as we have in Scotland,and the whole thing about two drones and three-ALL bagpipes had two drones,right up until WW2. Even as late as the 1960's,you could still find pipe bands still playing the old 2 drones instruments. Today,you can still get them,but they are pretty much a custom made item and quite pricey if
hello my little ulster fairy, again you know nothing about your history or IRISH history, Actually the Kilts the Scots wear today are not the proper original Kilts/Kelts which are IRISH. The Kilts worn today by the Scots were designed for an English King named Gorge, the first English King to visit Scotland for a long long time who refused to wear the Scottish dress, this so called Kilt which the Scots wear today is actually a skirt. It is not at all like the original Kilt/Kelt/ which is IRISH. If you want to look up this there are Dutch Drawings and Illustrations of the IRISH Dress back in the 16th and 17th Centuries which show the wonderful and magnificent colours of the IRISH Dress which are the proper Kilts/ Kelts worn. These can be found in books if you care to look them up. yours Brian Boru take that on board you little fairy, then go and look up real history not what your fairy folk have been telling you, Brian Boru
Why is your native language Irish. Why are you making Irelands national drink Uisce batha. Why do you have Mc/Mac Irish surnames. Plus the bagpipes we also gave you not to mention your countries very name which means Irishland as Scotus or Scotti means Irish born
God bless Ireland and the Irish People. Loads of love from your Italian Celtic Brothers. 🇮🇪❤🇮🇹

Well said. We did give you the two drone Great Irish Warpipe and you added a drone to give it me lustre.

Nicely played. Good tempo.Very smart pipers uniform
Brilliant piping, Frank. Thanks for sharing this.
IRISH are best bag pipers in world
Wayne Madden sorry, listen to the likes of the Tannahill weavers and red hot chili pipers and Scotland still holds the title
Wayne Madden I am irish ,not really its a scottish thing primarily
Scots would be hard to beat. Irish have good pipe bands too. Their both brilliant.

Peggy litir more is the tune at 1:05

I'm Irish, and we hardly have a millitary :/
just shut up you tosser, what do you know about anything, just go back to your little world, in your attic
Why do Ireland need an army when they remain neutral in every conflict.
just shut up you neantradal, go home and wait the next war
Serious question, why does this "country" need an army?
Some of us remember our ancestors too much, we send them peace keeping so they dont disturb it at the weekends.
Also, why are we a "country" and not a country?
@@DjangoWarheart Ireland is a country, the Free State is a temporary thing.
Look at our neighbours!
Can I dropkick you into 1916
Nice English soldiers
Great material Nick.
Tell me would you be interested in opening for the Crankys in Blackpool next year?
Strange how they copy the British uniform...
Guys in skirts impersonating scotsmen.
Sean , our cousins the Scots wear tartans and the Irish do not. Check it out. And we love Scottish tunes.
Not impersonating it is what pipe bands wear.
Scotti or Scotus means Irishman. You are impersonating us.
Why is the irish defence forces playing Scottish pipes 😅😅😅😅
Because theyre irish pipes there is more than just bag pipes theyd uillean pipes, war pipes and more the last 2 of which are irish in origin

Not as good as the Irish Guards and the Royal Irish Regiment
Except they are not Irish regiments
