I'm from the UK but I live in southern Spain. I visit Gibraltar regularly and it's my favourite place locally. The Gibraltar band and drums are a very talented bunch
Main point: for reasons known to history this is at once a joyous (relieved) and stirring tune carrying salvation. Such is its power (of divine origin) that it conveys something special whether played to perfection or with a measure of real-world about it. Conveying truth and beauty... no matter what...
Very interesting video. I find it odd that that a lot of the spit and dribble players are in kilts and green doublets, but that the pipers are in scarlet tunics and trousers.
The ones in red tunics and trousers are the Royal Gibraltar regimental band the ones in kilts are the Royal regiment of Scotland although the title to this video doesnt make that clear I hope this helps.
@@MrCmac731 Thanks for the clarification. It's just that when the mil bands of the RRS are playing with the pipers, the mil band members and all the drummers are in red tunics and the pipers are in green doublets, but here it's the reverse.
That's because the Royal Gibraltar Regiment (RG) has an established military Band and a Corps of Drums. 4 members of the CoD happen to also be pipers, so they play them when requested. We are in the process of adopting a new highland uniform for the pipers only, so hopefully soon you'll see a photo of us in our new kilts!

My ears love this👂👂👂
Great band!
Yes the Gibraltar Regiment has bagpipes considering that Scots have been settling in Gib for over 300 years !!!
I didnt know royal regiment of Gibraltar had bagpipes
They also have Light Infantry Bugles, if I'm not mistaken.
It makes sense since they're also British
And it also makes sense to have bagpipes as lots of British regiments have bagpipes
I think most Regiments have a Regimental Piper in their midsts somewhere
