- Crazy street piper I saw in Basel Switzerland during the Basel Tattoo 2010. Probably what I'd be doing if I had no job.
UPDATE: The street performer in the video can be found here: myspace.com/tanzdich
Great playing!

Actually he's quite a fine piper and the dancing makes him really interesting to watch! He's an inspiration to me.
I don't trust people who hate bagpipe music.
Same
That’s why I have no friends 😂😂😂😂
Right!
They hate you back
that Guy is not crazy, but a real bagpipe master, amazing....
Yes
Hardly a master
Who said he was crazy?
I love this guy. I can't stop coming back to this video on occasions. Such skill.
Agreed ! I took lessons because of this Busker !
Yeah he’s great but do you know where I can get those pants and shoes they look dope
Agree, I discovered this video like 8 years ago and still watching it from time to time. I've watched all of his videos on YT and this show is one of the best. Thom is awesome and very tallented. I love his play. :D
13 years for me. I love all his videos but this one draws me back from time to time. Would love to meet the guy.
being a piper that has played all his life i can say there are few that are as good as him
he kind of gets out there...lol
I will 2nd that. I've been playing for 20 years and he's on a very unusual level. I'd say genius.
That's...really impressive. This guy is a very good piper, AND he's got moves. Respect.
This is amazing! I saw this guy in 2012 in Bern during a Demonstration against the WEF. The police closed in to us before the protest could even begin and surrounded us for hours, letting nobody out. This guy got caught by chance with us and started to play for us and against the police. He played very well and with great solidarity. He renewed my faith in the struggle. I have a very nice memory from that day. Hope he is still playing for the oppressed people in some other parts of the world.
I would at least have the respect to stop there and admire this guys talent. Hope he goes places. Much respect
Doesn't matter when you can hear the damn thing across town.
+dradio1 bagpipes are loud as hell
Yeah yeah but where did he get his pants from there sick
I would have asked to jam with him
1:58 That tune is just amazing.
He's excellent! People who say bagpipes are bad need to have their heads checked. They're a beautiful instrument
We saw him play when we were in Basel in 2016...he was so awesome, our 2yo daughter was dancing to his music and didn't want to leave, we ended up missing our tram and stayed for another song :-)
Utterly bloody FANTASTIC !!!! I wonder what he was smoking before he played his set ?. A very talented and wonderfully idiosyncratic piper. The look of bewilderment on the faces of two of the women passing by had me choking on my cup of tea !
Dude is like some epic gypsy from Mars on a weekend acid trip
... A King in the moment, untouchable
I've never seen a person enjoying so much playing the bagpipes.He is on trance!
let's just all stop to realize how amazing he is
darlingdaisywolf 25 You've got that right ! : D
Daaamn, this guy is jamming his ass off! Awesome. Why is nobody caring?
They're dumbasses.
Or because he Plays fucking everyday there and love him but listen to him everyday? Just go first to the plc before you Judge...
Love how he uses the scales, the acoustics from the glass in door, and the ground beneath his feet. All adding to the music.
This guy is scaring people. Awesome! This guy is a rare gem as a freestyler.
Been scouring around youtube today without signing in....was about to switch off my computer then came across this vdo. I had to sign in to "like" this vdo.
This guy is far from crazy. He's brilliant, amazing, natural, talented, gifted, passionate, dynamic....the list go on.
Thanks for sharing this vdo :)
I'll so toss a hundred dollars to this guy! AMAZING!!!!!! somebody make him famous!!! finally, a piper who can dance and play! ^_^ THUMBS UP!
Dudde, I'd toss a $100 without the "crazy"... just hearing a piper live :O
This guy is amazing!! Wonderful!!!
The guy is sooo inspired :D you gotta love that. He plays straight from the heart.
this guy has the swag of a thousand suns.
This guy deserves proper recognition. He sounds awesome!
Coming from me (a man who mainly listens to music like Oceano or Emmure) this man is insanely talented and can carry a great tune. I hope he gets famous from this because he deserves it.
απλά φοβερός, λες και για 5 λεπτά έχει καταλάβει το νόημα της ζωής, εκφράζεται, αισθάνεται, βιώνει την μουσική και τον χορό. ΜΠΡΑΒΟ!!!
He is not crazy he is just enjoying .
Amazing! I would have sat there all day listening to him.
WOW! absolutely mesmerizing ... fantastic performance
You are a very talented man ,love how you bend the pace of each tune & you look like your really feeling it to .well done sir & thank you
The spirit of the pipes.
I am a Scottish piper myself,and this guy is great. I tip my hat to him gladly.
Heard round the world! Never stop playing....my brother...playing for peace on earth! My neighbors LOVED you! lol in the USA!
i am not gething bored of watching this video. it makes me happy
I love this guy why are people not stopping!!!??
ichaffee1 Because it's Switzerland.
+binthrdonthat Many people stop in Switzerland they also pay enough money. But you have to stand at the right spot. If you watch my video of this guy you will see that there are plenty of people standing and even dancing.
+binthrdonthat switzerland have not coulture,they now only about schokolade and watches hehehe
Thats too bad, I hear that certain people have migrated in such...large numbers to your country and. They are trying to make their culture everyone else's
+Chatzimichailidis Dimitrios Genau. Und Du bisch de tümmscht!
I love these eccentric characters in the world.
One of the best I have heard
GREAT ACTTITUDE CALEXANDERS... HE DESERVED IT. THANK YOU FOR PRESENT HIM....YOU ROCK PAL!!!
Makes you want to march into a battle doesn't it?
carrnil that's funny because it sounds really peaceful to me :-)
carrnil My great Grandpa did just that with the Scots Guard in WW1. Brave souls
Yes they were
+carrnil Bag pipes and celtic music inspire me. they get me amped up for battle as well as training. but also relax me.
To me it's the opposite well at least for this song but bagpipes is one of the most beautiful instruments it really touches someone's soul with the right song.
This guy has real talent. I can't believe those people just walking by!
I could listen to that all day!
WOW! I love his interpretation! He is sensational!!!
You have changed my life for the better. Thank you.
Actually one of the coolest and most passionate pipers I've ever seen. Rock on piping brother!
Brill....I agree.... One can close the eyes and almost imagine the terror of 1000 men marching toward oneself armed with spears and arrows and swords.... war is hell and heaven all at once.
This man has the power to make women cry and men fight.
Someone is alive on that street: the piper!
as a bagpiper, I can tell you that he is really playing, not some radio doing it. really good too!
This dude is out there! I love it.
Absolutely amazing.
He's probably the saneist man alive.
Nice username.
Hmmmmmmm
I hope this guy is still doing fine, what an amazing artist.
Fantastic energy! Never heard pipes quite like this before. It's like the pipes are playing him!
He is really great! Thank you for this video.
Streets artists are mankind's greatest creation.
If by crazy you mean really good, then yes.
Mate you are Awesome
Absolutely Love the Bagpipes
You are The Man mate 💯👊
it makes me very sad to hear bagpipes, considering what I've been through with them. My father was a cop who was killed when I was 7 months old, and two years ago we had a memorial service for fallen officers for my city, and the pipers played amazing grace... a song they played for his funeral service. But it's also nice to listen to them, because it's important never to forget the memorial. :)
jeremy atkinson you raight ets olso make me sad
He's not crazy, he's just excited! And who wouldn't be? Bagpipes light a fire in my heart, I would be dancing with bells too! (Though, admittedly, I al-ready do that...) :D
best bagpipe player i have seen and heard, i think we've all witnessed here the second coming of christ
I love the sound! Pure art :)
i wanna see more of this guy!! i can just sit down and listen to him all fucking day!!
Oh my god, soul lifting, powerfull, ....l love this master...
Fantastic. Very creative. Great emotional feel...
There are some amazingly talented people out there that do not get the recognition they deserve..this guy is one of the few....well done sir?
brilliant im 39 now been playing since i was 9.. this is the buzz and attitude we need to bring the fun into our national .. happy happy.. its what we are.. SCOTTISH X. lived in holland 10 yrs . played lots over there at new yr.. like ur style m8.. i'll play wi u.. drummer and were in the money. x fab.. my style.. played friends into church .. on schooby doo.. lol .. ok my bid is .. anyone wanna take the pipes to a new level..
Indeed. In my town(I come from Serbia) I am the only piper. Recently I dared to play on town square, just to see the reaction of people. Well, as bagpipers are so rare that you can count them easily, they were a bit amazed. Earned quite an amount for 1h 30m worth playing - about 210 euros :)
that low drone he keeps going back to at 0:45 while soloing over top is fucking dope as shit
Great playing! Come to Canada and people here will love it.
WOW! That was seriously the most awesome display of some pipes. Holy fucking shit that woke me up here in Santa Cruz!
Dude.....Most Excellent.
makes him crazy cuz the way he plays!.. is totaly crazy! amazing!
INCREDIBLE, I never seen piping like that before. INCREDIBLE
Utterly delightful proficiency displayed. TOP MARKS.
Man that's such great music! Bagpipes are great!!!!
Passion..lost in music. Amazing.
The jazzman of the pipes!!
saw this guy when i was there a week back! he is amazing!
This piper is one of best I have heard
Absolutely fekkin amazing.straight from the heart.nice one brother.live long and prosper.
This is so frikkin' fantastic.
Never mind his dresscode, it's the music and the fire he puts into it.
Who cares about a dress code? I play the pipes and I will never wear a kilt. The pipes are a great and LOUD instrument. You dont have to wear the typical attire when playing. You're right. This guy is amazing
Homme libre dans la beauté de sa transcendance !
showcasing a lifetime of dedication to the pipes....still, no-one chucks him a nickel.
absolutely amazing
When I was a busker ( street musician) , I had some friends who would play the bagpipes and I used to tease them about why bagpipers were moving while playing on the street.. Well.... a moving target is not as easy to hit, he he he.. Met quite a bunch of very fine street artists and those years are among those I cherish a lot, along with the memories made then.
He's great :) but I can only imagine what people living in that building felt :DDD
Way to go!!!!!! Keep up the good work.You rock man!!!
What a showman and piper!
a truly gifted young man' god bless you
Brilliant. Just brilliant!!
ive watched this 17 times in 2 days lol, this guy is a G
This man is a god among mortals!
The spirit of bagpipes !!! Amazing !!!
Guillaume Diemand lots of spirit ! : )
"is not the skill but the joy of playing what makes me the best" - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart..... jusr sayin
This is an example of how some one enjoy his bagpipes. It's a pleasure to watch it and hear it.
actually,as a person who knows quite a bit about bagpipes, and remembers quite well how it was to suck at playing them to actually become pretty decent at it, this guy does have a certain skill. you can see that he did not have like professional training, since most of his doublings are missing and he does not use any lemluaths or tourluaths, not to mention any crunluaths birls, just simple grace notes instead, but his rythm and finger work are quite good
Absolutely amazing!! SUPER Stuff!!
most excellent,great showmanship
really nice piping, cant understand why nobody is listenig
greetings from Germany
