Known primarily as a single malt whisky distiller, the Glenfiddich company also produces the annual Glenfiddich Piping Championship. This concert from the Celtic Center presents a number of Glenfiddich champions and invited participants for the only concert of its kind in North America.

William McCallum (Glenfiddich champion 2005, 2004, 2001, 2000, 1999, 1994, 1993, and 1990
Hearing and seeing them play touches my soul every time.
I've been playing this for the past 3 and 1/2 years and will continue with my windows down
After playing pipes for 48 years I wish I played with this much clarity, these 3 pipers displayed the best performance I have ever seen. They demonstrate that even the simple 2/4's & 4/4's can sound amazing played with heart and soul. I would have listened to this at least 2-3 times a week since I came across it.
Would love to know the list of all the songs Stuart played in this set? Able to name any of them?
Please could we have a round of applause for the person(s) who
filmed this, great shots of S.L.'s fingers.
and playing it at half speed is great tuition
Looks like multiple cameras and some great editing !
Well, A Huge thanks on my side!
To ou can listen to your death of Christmas
You can listen to the death of Christmas
brilliant idea Leslie!!!!
Such humility from outstanding artists, amazingly downplaying their extreme level of skill.
the most beautiful ancient ancestral music of the entire European area
Stuart is breathtakingly brilliant !
Stuart is one of the nicest human beings in the world, as well as one of the most talented pipers Ever! 💕
I know this guy! So true
@@fishingwithmagnes4114 ok p be all lab ll
World Class ❤
Stewart Liddell was one of my judges for a pipe competition I had. He also performed, and it was the most entertaining 5 hours I have ever spent sitting in a chair!
When you can enjoy the sound of real instrument for once, no lyrics just your mind , body and soul vibrating to the frequencies of the sound!
wow great music
I like how he took the time to tune the drones, that's humble and real. You say to the crowd, just hold on now because I care about the best sound of my pipes. What a majestic sound!!
Standard behavior in solo piping
Lay them down and let cool or dry and you need to re tune,,, also even when playing some alterations are needed if played a long time... between tunes he returned as they got warmer
Yes pipes are a pain in the arse in this respect. If you dont take time to tune up till sound shite.
I’ve seen pipe music - I play the piano, never seen so many grace notes in my LIFE! LOVE THE PIPES, ALWAYS HAVE & ALWAYS WILL
right??
Angus is just incredible such a true old school piper!
This is as good as it gets ,world best pipers !!!
one of my favourite bagpipe videos!!!
I loved Highland Wedding and Cameronian Rant as Hornpipes. I can imagine that after playing those tunes over and over in competition they would lose their shine and an otherwise bored player might start to see what else you could do with those same collection of notes. Very clever and entertaining, and oh, so musical. Well done Terry and Stuart!
Stumbled upon this. WOW! I'm in awe at these gentlemens performance. They make this look easy peasy. Motivated to be better than I am now.
What a really lovely Piobaireachd Willie McCallum played.
Born and raised in Los Angeles. . . . So, why do the pipes give me chills whenever I hear them?
@Hugh Jarse hahah. Your name made me laugh
Always a treat to the ear! Stuart is the kind of piper that breaths new life into the music of the Great Highland Bagpipe! Innovative fingering and creative musicality are the earmark of a great piper.
Thank you for recording and sharing this. Wow
This is simply GLORIOUS!!!! Nuff said.
Congratulations sir,whish you all the best!
I am German and pretty sure that i don`t have any celtic blood in my veins. But why does this music make my tears flow ? Why does it move me so much ?
I am not religious at all, but if something like reincarnation exists, i *must* have lived in Scotland in an earlier life. This piping here is pure Gold.
I'm Puerto Rican and love this music. As much as I have listened to it throughout my life, it never fails to move me.
It's the science of 2 different frequency (220 and 110 let's imagine in tune with his 440 low A) thus giving a combo that goes right through a person , some like it others find it annoying.... these guys give me chills with such talent and good tuning
@@matthewdenty7760 Bagpipes always give me Goosebumps, they move me in a way i can´t explain, but what you said there sounds about right.
I'm sure you did
Will try and make a very very far link here. Holy Roman Empire was part of some parts of Italy and Germany. Bagpipes were orignally made in Europe ( mainly Spain) and were brought to Scotland by the Romans. So maybe your family in Germany were playing them and maybe thats why you love them... :)
What a tremendous opportunity to see some of the greatest pipers out there under one roof. Excellent video.
Wonderful! The three together is a treat.
what beautiful sounding pipes just love them
You'll either love the pipes, or hate them! ♡♡♡♡♡Great Scott's fulla musical talent
Awesome performance by the best of the best.
Solid. Loved thee guys piping for a long time.
fantastic piping by these 3 guys Stuart Liddel alone is incredible to say the least
Last christmas I listened to amazing grace with bagpipe. My cat started rubbing on the speaker. She loves the bagpipes and sitar,
wonderful piping.
I can't stop watching it!!! Amazing
Super WOW! A cut above.
Fred Morrison wow I needed to hear him.During the corronavise corantine this truly heloed. I'm a tin Whistler loved it.
I am German , why do I like the Sound so much 🤷♂️
Such excellence in the arts - Here, HEAR!
Stuart is a great player...love to hear him all the time...
Unbelievable talent, Stuart and stamina. Crisp and precise.
Stuart Liddell and Willie McCallum...TWO FIGURES....TWO GREAT PIPERS FOR BAGPIPES HISTORY
..and angus!
@@cobro2626 of course!!!
All three are great! But for some reason many hear seem to have forgotten my man Angus. He're to you Mr. McColl of Benderloch!
thanks !!! for this piece of gold! fantastic.
and knowing that some people muck the bagpipes... awesome job awesome bag control and technique
Simply Fantastic!
Just watched it again, for the hundredth time! 😃
What to say great piper one of the best
Simply amazing!! I'm so deeply in love with the sound of bagpipes :)
Greetings from Italy
Superb piping by William McCallum.
Greesin’ up the little pinky there. Good idea.
This clip os an impprtant gift!!!
these guys are awesome
Beautiful music and wonderful interpretations.
Thanks for posting ! I think this is the first video in which I've heard Angus McColl speak. LOL. All inspiring pipers. I shall endeavor to persevere with my own piping !
Stu's drones in the slow air. Face melting.
Could you tell me the name of that slow air? It is amazing, and the way he plays it is sublime.
@@nealhinerman1649 Fair Maid of Barra
A very talented gentleman indeed!
Excelente. Un deleite musical.
Thank you so much for posting!
Angus McColl's commentary @1:12:33 - Looks like I'm not alone in figuring out my sets as I'm playing them.
Fair Maid of Barra here gets me every time..
Super expression in every tune. I am familiar with all these tunes, but when played to a Rolls Royce standard like this, I seem to think that Stuart has rewritten them. The Young Mc Gregor makes the hair { or what I have left} stand on my head. Absolutely beautiful.
This is such a good video, it's a shame you can only like it once!
I'm just a beginner with the pipes but I love this instrument. Hopefully when I get more proficient I can work on playing one of these tunes.
McCallum is absolutely magical!
Amazing music
man I totally appreciate the bagpipe now\
Que hermoso toca este hombre!!!!! por Dios!!!!
Oh ferra birl that worked EVERY TIME it was asked to!! And a POWER TRIO around 1hr 30mins playing an MSR our junior band used to compete with in in Rhodesia and SA 1966...
Just great stuff...!
Excelent !!! 😊😊😊
So far as I know, I haven't a drop of Scots blood, but damn if this isn't stirring to heart and soul regardless.
This was so enjoyable to watch. Thank you for filming and sharing this with the TH-cam community. God Bless.
USA means more now than ever praise God
amazing music
Best of TH-cam!
Subliem
Perfection
i didn't know it is possible to keep the bag pressure high and steady for THIS long. I broke pressure 40 seconds in and I'm only playing on a less than medium reed. I wish I can be half this good.
ياسلااااااااام عليك يامبدع يارايع 🌹
I bet these 3 pipers would be the bagpipe version of top gear one day😂
excellent bagpipe.
Stuart Liddell Number 1
Willie macllam one of the best players so clean an true to the tunes he plays absolute brilliance
and i love hockey
This channel has some nice rare piping videos on it. Subscribed.
CSM...que tremendo!!!
I really appreciate Angus MacColl's strathspeys. Great dot cut and tempo is appropriate too. I hate it when top pipers play them too fast. At the end of the day a dancer should be able to dance to a strathspey.
All about the 'lift'!
He is pure genuis
Oh noooo, when he said Stuart Little I was expecting a little mouse with a little bagpipe :0)
Stuart's performance was definitely X-Rated!
I LOVE to listen to the pipes, have been blessed to hear them ALL MY LIFE, but this session was a MEMORIAL FOR ME! Since the virus destroyed the games here, this has been a TRUE blessing, & HOPE with a pure heart we can have them back here in California Orange County AGAIN!!!!!
Liked and subscribed!
24 minutes - he's just making that stuff up
When he was talking about seeing all the small Islands like Islay or Jura and then he said that he hoped the audience could "get the flavor" of the songs I had to laugh as all the Islands he mentioned are also famous for their Whiskey as I'm sure plenty of people will attest.
5 dislikes...can not understand
I suspect it has more to do with
not liking the Pipes than the Piper.
They probably came here by accident.
OORRR... just plain green with envy.
Or if you know your history, you would know that the only people who would dislike are the English 😉
Leslie Piper
Hey!...I’m green with envy. That’s why I’m back for more 😄😂😂
Best number for dislikes. 6
@@bulletacosta911 I do not understand
ayeckslent indeed, mun
Great!!!
I’m glad there was marches, strathspeys and reels etc. The usual trend of playing tunes, some of them not very tuneful, faster and faster for long periods of time is no doubt very skilful, but it can get really boring after a while. I wonder if any of these guys with their superb tone, provided the sound samples for the Blair chanter.
Fantastic piping, I competed alongside these people in the eighties and nineties, But alas their is one person missing, Gordon Walker.( Royal Highland Fusiliers. )
I do not think to this day, Gordon was guilty of the things said against him. I have tried to track him down ,if he is in the prison system, Acklington prison is quit close to me and I know some warders their, Gordon is not there now, although there was talk of a prison pipe band, just the thing that Gordon Walker would do. Best wishes to you all. If any of you know where Gordon is , Please could you let me know, just like auld days and a few wee drams before ye go on at Luss Games etc.
Did you manage to get in touch with Gordon? Is he doing any piping gigs?
Stuart Little sure has grown up a lot.
This is not meant as a criticism, but why during competitions are the tunes so slow and deliberate, but during other events more lively pipe tunes are played? Is it to just accentuate each note? I just started on the chanter and learning.
