I loved that too. It was a real pleasure and an honour to play with the Kaisers. I am the drummer on the left (with the glasses and 2 medals). That was my last ever gig in uniform and I left the Army the very next day. I loved being a musician in the Scots Guards band and this was a great way to say goodbye!
Hope you enjoyed the concert Jackie I played in all of them in 12 days and we raised £12000 for our charity, my family also came to the FW concert. Thanks for your support from all ScotsGuardsmen.
Just to clear a few things up. Been reading back on the blogs. The Scots Guards only have a pipe band now, but still Pipe & Drum Major, Drum Major now comes from the Pipe band. The Irish Guards still have both. The Band on last years Jools was a composite band made up with guys serving in UK as the remainderr of us were in Iraq, hence the Regimental band Drummers. This year's band on Jools Hootenanywill all be from the 1st Bn Scots Guards, so well done the boys from last year in keeping it going
@iamacowboi fair play to you mate i watched this live it was amazing i had 2 brothers and a sister in the royal irish regiment am also a drummer in the hamilton flute band londonderry
@vennom212 Eh? My name is John. I served in the British Army for 22 years as a musician. That performance was my last ever in uniform. iamacowboi is my son's youtube account. No lies. Apology please, Soldier!
@vennom212 - heartening to see a decent apology on youtube.Good for you lad.It's not a weakness.Too often on youtube comments deteriorate into mindless, ill-informed viciousness (ungrammatical to boot).As a pensioner I find that deeply depressing.Good to see musicians having fun - I'm sure the Guards appreciated the irony of playing with "an angry mob".Don't get too drunk too often -you don't want to throw away a good career (or liver) for one smack of the wrong guy.Good Luck.
i would mate but i want to get a good trade when i come out. im nto saying that having music qualifications isnt a good trade but i would prefer to get mechanic qualifications before going to any kind of front line infantry regiment
Nice bit of drumming squire. I have to ask though, didn't anyone from the regiment give a thought to the title of the song or consider the symbolism of having the Scots Guards playing along with it? Don't get me wrong. Personally I was delighted. I'm just amazed that it was permitted...
Sorry i served with the 1st battalion Scots Guards from 1974 until both the 1st & 2nd Battalions Ammalgamated and still have a Corps of Drums that's why all regiments in the foot guards have a Drum Major and a Pipe Major
They always used to have both but it was a few years ago now that the scots got rid of there corps of drums in favour keeping the pipes. They still have drum majors yes! Honest!
The two drummers on the outside were percussionists from the Regimental Band. The drummer in the middle was from the Pipe Band as the Scots Guards don't have a Corps of Drums.

Scots Guards are awesome, very sharp drummers and a formidable Regiment of the British Army.
Cheers thanks for the video.

I think it sounds better with the Scots Guards, I was disappointed this ones not on the album.

I'll have to check that, I'm sure I saw the Irish Guards on the credits... I'll get back to ya.
my fav
very epic
Yup, you're right. I must have transposed it in my head. Fixing title now...
The Scots & Irish Guards have both Pipe Band & Corps of Drums
i would love to be in a pipe and drums band or any kind of military band for that matter
i would mate but i want to get a good trade when i come out. im nto saying that having music qualifications isnt a good trade but i would prefer to get mechanic qualifications before going to any kind of front line infantry regiment
Sorry to dash you hopes but both the Scots & Irish Guards have both pipe band & corp of drums
Catch the second half (the "anthem") accompanied by the military symbolism of guardians of the British Empire. Is that cool or crazy?
Bunch of chutney ferrets.. FFS we are the angry mob.
Nice bit of drumming squire. I have to ask though, didn't anyone from the regiment give a thought to the title of the song or consider the symbolism of having the Scots Guards playing along with it?

na im not serious i cant play it would just be nice.
im planning on joining REME this year though or go to army foundation college.
i thougth it was part of a pipes and drums band owell
Trust me on this one!! Scots have a Pipe Band but no corps of drums! They have drummers as part of the pipe band but no individual corps of drums!!
mito bom
foda mesmo
do caralho

johnnyh makes eh point sounds better with the scots guards

Honest!
The Irish do but the Scots don't!
The two drummers on the outside were percussionists from the Regimental Band. The drummer in the middle was from the Pipe Band as the Scots Guards don't have a Corps of Drums.
so don't listen to the Scots Guards version 'tard
Y'know lots of army comments. Slightly racist but if your with the IRA JUST LEAVE
