I only wish I could get my fingers to do more and learn the first tune as a known tune. Thank you for sharing with any of the pipers out there!!!

In the mid 80's I competed with a US lower grade band one season. Jeannie Carruthers was our march. Separately I was playing all the time and winning in US solos at our top amateur level. Blair Drummond is one of my all time favorites and I was able enough to play it in public for Highland dancers. Also Pretty Marion. But nowhere near the level of these players. Thanks for sharing this video.

Hi Sandy, I have a possible suggestion for you. The recordings still have the clicking and crackling which annoys me, and I'm not a fan of the post-digitized noise-remover you put on the tracks. Here's a good way to reduce the actual noise without putting it in a sort of bubbly quality. What do you use, Windows or Mac? I don't know about Mac computers but there's a program called "WaveCorrector" which will get rid of the clicks and crackles. There used to be another one called "Clickrepair" which I have but you can't get anymore, but I remaster old records using that software all the time. Additionally, these records warp, and I'm also known for correcting the warps on these old recordings. If you're interested in using WaveCorrector I'd love to hear how it turns out. But if you'd like some help with remastering these albums, just let me know and I can help you out with correcting the warping, clicking and crackling which still bothers me as a blind piper with perfect pitch. On my channel info you can find all the ways I'm reachable.

John D indeed.😊

What a fascinating instrument, and what a singular music this is that it can play. I wish I could claim descent from the culture that produced such a treasure, and those that can should count themselves lucky, but I am an American and my links to Scotland (or anywhere else outside the States) are tenuous at best. It is an ultimately unattainable dream of mine to play pieces like these with such skill as this piper, but South Texas is not a stronghold for ceol mor and I am too old at twenty-four besides so I bide my time with other things.

Great to hear a drum corp, enhance the pipe corp. not heard so much these days.

Great sound, great tunes…..

Prefer this older style playing, chanters much more mellow than the “piccolo “ chanters these days…..snares had a more resonant deeper sound than the rattles we hear now……just my opinion of course.

I looked up this album for the tune list. Not sure if the album I selected is same but has same cover and name. What are the tunes played here? Thank you

Thank you for uploading these historic albums

I joined muirheads in '69 just before they lost to shotts in Aberdeen and my short spell as an up and coming junior to be part of in my opinion the best group of pipers and drummers in the world was cut short by a head injury and makes you wonder what if.Thanks for the memories, RG Hardie, John Findlay, All the Elmslies, Andersons ,Rab Turner, Robert Richardson and yes Robert Wallace and many more who's names will live forever.What I time in my life, thanks again.

Thanks for uploading the pipes and drums recordings there my favorite

I think John Burgess played with them for a while.

Had this record nearly played it out the Muirhead were amazing in playing and tone .😊

Had this record in our house reckon the best in tone and playing of all time.

Hardie Lead Drummer: Robert Turner

This is my favorite pipe band recording.

Haha this brings me back

Merci

Merci

Every performance on this recording is ON FIRE, I've never heard such drumming!

EXACTLY the posting I've been looking for. I adore bagpipes.

I think I'm the first to post excerpts from this album. I play this instrument and I could easily play Modder River in my prime, and every tune on this albusm except for Miss Proud. I can play it medium speed, but never in my best years full speed. I hope there is a future for Highland pipes where this recording is appreciated.

Thanks for posting the entire album!

Playlist would be helpful!

Great sound and playing!

Thank you very much for uploading the entire album. Haven’t heard it since 1989!

The year I was born fantastic.

Absolutely love the old recordings.

Absolutely brilliant. 💯

Surely one of the most musical/listenable pibrochs…….you can can hear a song in this tune.

Good job man ! I am from Poland and I love British march song.

What a band. Magnificent!

10 pipers, 3 drummers, no big drum, no tenor drumming, very basic

Robert Gavin Hardie wasn't a man, he was a demigod.

And do not forget PM Hardie.

OH MY LORD!! I could not believe this showed up when I went on RUclips tonight!! I was a student of Mr. MacNeil's in 1973, when he brought his School of Piping, to Kansas City MO. At the time, I played with the Kansas City St. Andrews Pipes & Drums. Ian Paton was the PM at the time and Bob Watson was my beloved teacher, who took me under his wing. (I've tried to locate Bob over the years, but have been unsuccessful. If anyone reading this has any information on Bob, I would greatly appreciate it being forwarded to me) If I recall correctly, it was a week long seminar. I was just 13 and quite honestly, had no idea what "presence" I was in at the time!! What a magnificent man and dedicated teacher!! As I got older, I've considered myself so fortunate to have been under his tutelage for that short period of time and I am forever grateful to him and my experience!! May god bless Mr. MacNeil and his tremendous contribution to The Piping World!! "piper john"

can you upload more of this album

can u upload more of this band please

Now they all up into curling.

Many of you will have heard that Rab Turner died recently in New Zealand. A legend in the drumming world and a kind and loveable man. RIP.

This was one of my first albums of good bagpipe music, and I was shocked by the sound and the music. I was blown away - and hooked forever on pipe band music.

My name's kenta muirhead so yehhhh

Would you kindly be able to record the entire album if you please? I used to listen to it as a boy many years ago and no longer have a turntable much less the album sadly. Much appreciated with thanks!

What year was the Medley added? What is the earliest recording of a Worlds Medley performance? Thanks!

One of my most favorite piece of ceol mhor and the first I learned, as much as possible, I DON'T use the printed score, as told me my late friend Willie M. Mac Donald of Inverness, who was the very last disciple of " auld John " Mac Donald of Inverness Piobaireachd lies in one's heart not on sheet of paper, provided you have " the ceol "in your spirit

One of the first LP's that I bought. One excellent recording of an awesome band. I like the old school selections. Good solid tunes.

Fan of the Muirheads since my beginning in 69, and still playing Hardie's pipes

The Glenfinnan Highland Gathering composer Pipe Major Ronnie Lawrie came into the compartment of the train when I was on my way to Oban one day and we had a great chat. There was two girls from South Africa came in and Big Ronnie went and got us all coffee. That was the last time I was in a train that had the old style compartments in it with the corridor down the side. A gentle giant of a man.

I used to have the LP that was on. Superb band!
