- Richard Parkes from Newtownards, Co.Down on bagpipes, and Trevor Stewart from Belfast on Uilleann Pipes, playing a hornpipe called Jimmy Blue, followed by a selection of jigs. 1996.
See the Irish weren't stupid, We don't play with our mouth so we can still swallow the pints
or sing
Bottoms up,shirley…?@@kevinstachovak8842
Pour me a pint, please!
Joseph Durkin and keep talking.
Nice!
Of course its only the Irish that would invent a set of pipes, that you can still play while sitting down, so that you can have a chat and a drink, and be social.
@leslie falconer Northumbria pipes they're called.
@@thenextshenanigantownandth4393 I think he meant to put to a comma.
@@felixsmith659 love the name😂😂😂
This comment contributes to the presentation im making for uni about Ireland music and dance xD
The bagpipes were made to hear from a distance an they also were made for war pipes I’m Irish an scots American I love both !
True Masterpiece.
When the Irish and the Scots get eachother reeling, you better watch out, that's when the fun begins! Brilliant!
awesome
how Can they play together ?
uilean pipe is tuned in D and bagpipe in B b
I'm guessing a 440 A chanter for GHB and he's playing in D-the two primary keys/scales of highland pipe tunes are A mixolydian (mode) and D major. The "tonic" note for this set is D rather than A, you can see them both resolving on it.
Parlour versus Battlefield instruments.
anyone know the name of the second tune after Jimmy Blue?
+Jack Playle The Jig of Slurs - 4 parts usually but they just play 2 here :)
K cheers
+Oscar West Yeah, the other parts are in G and the bagpiper can't hit the c natural.
In Ireland the "Bagpipes" were "Píobaí Choghaidh" - "War Pipes".
The sitdown and play - "elbow pipes/píobaí/Uileann" were for peacetime.
Both are great if you can play them well. The Pipes unite the Scottish and the Irish Gaeil.
the highland pipe was made to be heard over mountains and glens,the uillean on the whole is just a softer sound both brilliant
The Irish bagpipes were identical to the Scottish bagpipes, they were outlawed by the British so they fell out of use. The uilleann pipes were invented in the 18th century. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uilleann_pipes#History
Agreed...they both compliment each other. Resembles how the oboe, English Horn, and the Bassoon compliment each other in an orchestra.
@@dimaflorida9889 complement
dunruden yeah spell check wasn’t activated...what’tah’ catch.
@@dunruden9720 🙄🙄
I wish this had a bodhran
Wonderful fusion of Irish and Scottish instruments. I always felt that the Uillean(elbow)pipes were the quintessential sound of Ireland. Almost as if the sound emanates from the very soil of the land itself.
Bagpipes aren't scottish lol
The IRISH PIPERS WERE OUTLAWED AND HUNG WHEN CAPTURED
THE ORIGINAL WAR OIOES HAD ONLY TWO DRONES LIKE THE ONES FOUND AT CULLODEN
THEY DEVELOPED SOFTER PIPES FOR INDOOR PLAYING
Northumberland
John McCassidy yeah they are, a version of them were brought up by the Roman’s after being taken from the middle eastern countries that made the first set... but bagpipes as we know them are in fact Scottish
@@ALBA-js3um no they are Scottish not the oldest bagpipes in the world are Irish and they were found in county wicklow
sites.google.com/site/bagpipersforhireireland/oldest-bagpipes-in-the-world-are-irish
the Irish warpipes were outlawed by the English because too many of the Irish rebellions were led by bagpipers and when the wild geese were put to flight after the treaty of limerick many of them joined up with the French army and Irish brigades were formed and these warpipers also joined and they played the warpipes well into the the 18th century and this can be seen at the battle of fontenoy when after fierce fighting between the wild geese and the Scottish highlanders the wild geese finally beat their British oppressor's across the ocean and to spite the scots whilst they were licking they're wounds the Irish warpipers struck up they're pipes and played St Patrick's day and the white cockade which is an old Jacobite song meant by the Irish pipers to remind the scots of who they are. and the uilleann pipes are the way the Irish got around the British ban which was a ban on all bagpipes which were played standing up so the Irish adopted the warpipes initially to the pastoral pipes and then to the uilleann pipes. and the scots got the warpipes from the Irish conscript's who were forced to fight the Scottish rebellion's led by Wallace and Robert the Bruce and the scots noticed the frenzy that the Irish were put into by the warpipers and one way or a another got a set of the pipes and a player and learned how to play them and used them to the same effect. and after the Jacobite's were crushed by the British they were only allowed to keep they're pipes if they bowed to the British and succumbed to their rule and the scots for the most part complied and were allowed to keep their bagpipes and their stolen title of their claim to the bagpipes being their own, and eventually the bagpipes were changed from the two drone Irish version to the three drone Scottish variant. so in summary the modern bagpipes are indeed Irish in origin not roman or Babylonian and not Scottish or English the scots were only allowed to keep them because the succumbed to the British rule and the modern form is only Scottish because they added a drone and absolutely nothing else but the title and the only reason it is considered Scottish is because it is parroted by ignoramuses and scots.
and to think - the Uillian piper did all of that on one breath!
😁👍🇮🇪💚
My feet won't stay still. Is this normal?
Kirk Brown If they didn't, your concern would be valid.
+Kirk Brown hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh me too
It's abnormal if they stay still.
I'm a Calvinist and my feet tap away good style. That's a very sweeping judgement of people , and a theological tradition you appear to know the bare minimum about!
Just goes to show you can't believe everything you read. :)
The Highland Pipe chanter is in A, thus the scale being G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A (Highland pipe Notation) The A-440 scale is actually G, A, B, C#, D, E, F#, G, A or A Mixolydian. The Uilleann Piper is playing in D Ionian with drones in D. The Highland Piper is using the D note as the root tone, which puts the chanter in D Ionian, same as the Uilleann Piper. Any other modes for either piper would be quite difficult to pair the 2 without some difficult fingerings. Or, some strange harmonies.
Such an interesting and thoughtful comment! When I was an undergrad I took music theory and honestly it was every bit as difficult as any maths or science course I took. The music building was so old. We used to joke about the linoleum mode.
Brilliant - thank you
All bagpipes, including these, can come with a variety of tunings. Only the chanter is fixed in one key. Drones, regulators etc, are usually tuneable. The uilleann pipes are the most tuneable, and chanters in different keys can be changed.
Thanks a lot!
From the US. Love pipe music. Mostly played for funerals over here. Just like any other musical instrument, must have been hell to live next door to whoever was learning to play the first set of bagpipes.
Have never heard a bagpipes and uilleann pipes duet before, but I liked it.
With an Irish mother and a Scottish father this just resonates with me I think the phrase is "it runs through my veins" 😁
That's so cool! Celtic blood in your veins.
Moms side of the family is Irish father's side of the family is Scottish- German. Keep well, kind, and courage kept
I had an Irish Father and a Scottish Mother. It works out to the same.
You lot can argue about what sounds come from where and who made them but the fact remains, this is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dave McGarry totally agree with you 👍
@@mickthornley7210 DAMN RIGHT!! This is absolutely awesome!!
there should be no competition between the uileanns and GHBs, considering how fucking brilliant they sound together. This is the peanut butter and jam of Celtic music.

Is fíor duit. You're right.
Being of Scots-Irish decent, this comment make me actually cry real tears with happiness.
You know that both the uileann pioe and the regular bag pipe have both existed in Ireland..... and are also Irish ..... and the first pipes are not even Irish .... I love this music but history is history ,.... first pipes are from the middle east ...
@@gorgioarmanioso151 were they actually brought from the middle east to Ireland, though, or were they just separately invented multiple times throughout the globe, as has been the case with a bunch of other things?
OOOOOOH MY GOOOOOD!! SO MUCH EARGASM!!!
The music was brilliant... Their shirts were tragic.
No better way to look Irish.
Liam Ó Súilleabháin Hahahaha! So true.
A frickin' greed.
Didn't notice the shirts was to far gone on the music.
Then better don't watch videos from the 70s - 80s ...
Love the combination of the 2 types of pipes.
That was fantastic, the two instruments combined for a fabulous sound.
I keep hearing bokbokbok chicken sounds
A match made in Heaven. Well done lads. A pure joy to behold & pure ear candy!!!
this is one of the best videos i've seen in a long time; absolutely brilliant
Help!! My foot won't stop tapping!!
Excellent musicians. The Highland bagpipe low A is normally tuned to around 480 Hz, which is sharper than the standard Bb at 466.16 Hz. There is a "Shepherd Orchestral Chanter" made for the Highland pipes that is made in pitch to play with regular instruments.
The Scottish Smallpipes are more suitable for this, less loud and in A 440.
DONT HAVE ACLUE WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT JUST LOVE THE MUSICXXX
@@ConsairtinFergus he just explained that the shepherd chanter in concert A or in other words A 440
Feargal Mac Fitheach A 440 is standard GHB tuning and is what bands and solo players use, Richard Parkes pipes are tuned to just sharper than Bb to match the Uillean pipes. A 440 is not a great tuning for stuff like this unless the piper is alone. Bb is though because it’s easier to play with other musicians and sounds nicer. And though Smallpipes sound nice, they would be bad for this setting.
@@blakehollingshead813 richard parkes chanter is tuned in A and not just sharper than Bb. i know this because i tested with a digital chanter
Is it Richard Parkes, Pipe Major from Field Marshall Montgomery Pipe Band ?
Yes, it is.
Yes
“And that my boy is how Ireland became one nation by public vote”
Can’t get any more Celtic then this. Love it
Add some Welsh or Breton dancers and it would be! ❤
@Cigar_Mantra #1 🏆 comment. IKR? Getting more Celtic than this would look like racist satire!😂
@gordiehanna3848 LoL yes!! Then they all drink, fight, then make up & play more tunes. ✌️ ☮️ 🕊
Two different types of Bagpipes
fuck the politics ! if you like good pipes.end of !
IKR? It's always just a matter of time on the internet. LoL
This has to be one of the best things to have ever gone in my ear holes.
first time Iv'e heard GHBs and uilleann pipes play along with each other...sounds great, excellent playing from both guys.....very good
Being half Irish meself, I've been wondering when someone was going to do this. It's about fuken time!
Aye, now that's musical talent.
Thank you.
Sainte
@TJ McGregor agreed 😂😂😂
Richard and Trevor...that's brilliant stuff. I could listen to the two of ye in the pub all night long. Great Stuff.
It’s almost like the Scottish and Irish are getting along for once lol
Bagpipes play a tune,uilleann pipes play with ya soul.mm
Wow - this had me smiling ear to ear. Terrific!
A very happy St. Patricks day to one and all on this 17th. day of March, 2015
Absolutely superb,
Jade Tiger, you're a opened-mind person. You know, the thing that really counts in music is sharing, between people, musicians and different traditions and cultures.
For the people who like bagpipes duets, you should listen to Ross Ainslie (Border Pipes) and Jarlath Henderson (uilleann pipes). Their album is called "Partners in crime" and it's also wonderful. Have a good day...
The fast tune after the hornpipe is called The Jig of Slurs, and the last one is called Paddy Carry. Hope this helps you.
Brilliant couldn't stop my feet moving.................Robert
the good side about the uilleann pipes is you're free to smoke a ciggie at the same time lol
+metamaggot .........and sing!

Outlawed Tunes On Outlawed Pipes
Having read bcpipes's account of the mixed scales in this match-up I am even more impressed. A delight. Thanks for uploading.
I like how the irish elbow pipe is kinda muted yet high pitched, nice contrast to the windy loudness of the scott pipes
It got better when they were both playing at the same tempo. The Irish pipes took the harshness off the Scottish pipes, which is an interesting doubling.
Scottish whiskey Irish whiskey

Slainte!
Uisce beatha do gach duine! Sláinte go gcínte mo chara!🇮🇪💚🏴👍👍👍🙂
Super fantastic, I love the sound of thoes to kinds of pipes together 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💜
love this...don't know whether to do highland fling or irish set dance..maybe both...superb
i go to the piping live street cafe every year at the national piping center on worlds week just to drink beer and listen to real music like this ......
Union pipes survive in Scotland til the end of the 19th century, some say til the first World War, Jade Tiger. If you have doubt take a look at some old pictures online: just write: "pastoral pipes" or "union pipes". Have you heard of Billy Purvis (1784-1853) among many others? He was a travelling Union Piper of southern Scotland. If you know the history and developpement of this bagpipe, you know that pipers members of the Scottish Society of London use to play Highland Great Bagpipe and Union Pipes at the same time, though these instruments were and are still expensive. We don't have any clue of an Irish origin for the Pastoral Pipes of 1720. The fact is that it has a lot of connections with Lowland Pipes, Northumbrian Pipes (influenced by the French Musette de Cour) and the Baroque oboe too. North-english and Scottish makers made important improvements on this instruments,just as Irish makers did.Take a look at the beautiful sets of Hugh Robertson of Edinburgh, Robert Reid of North Shields, John Dunn of Newcastle, (who probably invented the regulators) and irish James Kenna of Mullingar too. Maybe you know that Union Pipes - to use the real name of this instrument, not a Grattan Flood 's gaelic invention- was close to disappear from Ireland too in the 1840's, due to the Great Famine's devastation and emigation. Irish - American pipers re-introduced this bagpipe in Ireland. For conclusion, I have to say that, being a French Union piper playing Irish music, I am not fighting Irish culture and heritage. I'm just fighting some old nationalist lies of the beginning of 20th century! What they call Uilleann Pipes is just an Irish modern version of a 18th pan-brittish instrument. It isn't indigenous (or just partially) but fiddle, bouzouki and guitar aren't Irish too, but is it a drama? Just a detail, Jade Tiger, if you talk about music and major scale, don't be so categorical, please, cause there's a lot of shared tunes both in Scotland and Ireland. Some Irish songs too are based on old English or Scottish ballads. Listen to "the Reel of Miss Mac Cloud" (Scottish origin) or "Sally Brown", a sailor song of English origin.
Wind instruments have been around a lot longer than the 19th century. Union pipes were not the first wind instrument.
Malika Régis Though I see what your saying I'm not pushing for any nationalistic agenda just truth. I'm an American with Iranian, Irish, French etc. roots who just loves the music. It's my view that Irish music has been a primary influence from rock to classical genres yet doesn't get the respect it deserves. Your right a lot of these instruments have roots somewhere else as most do. There also is no real border between the different genres of the Western Isles, they share a lot. That's what makes the worlds music's so great, they evolve into different flavors yet in the subtlest and most harmoniously streamlined of ways.
However for starters there is a hell of a lot more propaganda from the U.K then there ever was from Grattan Flood or any other Gaelic nationalist. One example of the uilleann pipes organic inspiration is the cap that sat at the end of the chanter which was likely used on the earliest models. It was made to dampen the sound automatically so it could be played in secret when music was outlawed. That innovation found nowhere else both saved and refined the music of the Gaels. The Anglo-Irish gentry simply appropriated that design and added regulators. Similarly the lowland Scots appropriated the kilt and cut it shorter, and stole the lone wild pipers and turned them into tame marching bands. Besides that there old newspaper reports, articles and oral sources which support this theory even still, in spite of the powers at be.
Malika Régis After the English tried to stamp out indigenous culture, instruments were banned. At that point the majority of tunes evolved into mouth music, lilting, diddling. From those tiny sparks of magical resilience, the ornaments and techniques of the harp and war pipe lived on. After centuries of perceived silence the Irish were able to get tin whistles, from there they successfully transferred their purified, cumulative music. Music which was once drawn from all kinds of instruments during the Gaelic era. Trumpets, oboes, horns, pipes and bagpipes to name a few. After carrying the piob mhor and other repertoire via whistle the Irish carried the spark to flutes and elsewhere. Even though the Irish lost the war pipes and other woodwind instruments they gained a special one, the uilleann pipes, thanks to good Karma. Because of the uilleann pipes complexity, it has given the preceding art forms great justice. That is why the uilleann pipes are really an Irish instrument. Behind it's construction and its repertoire are a thousand different unnamed parallels and equivalents that no longer exist, yet miraculously live on. It is an all in one instrument that's echoes run deep.
Until I heard them played together I could never hear the difference.
This music is absolutely fantastic and it's a big pleasure to listen to it,thanks for this top quality upload.
Which are better, uillean pipes or bag pipes? (I prefer uillean)
uillean better, but bag pipe cheaper :(
Roisin O Donnell Bradley I personally love the sojnd of both. I can only play the GHB but I would love to learn uilleann bagpipes someday
Adam Chapman I'd get started as early as possible if I was you
"Better" is a personal preference. Personally,. some days I would prefer bagpipes, and some days uillean. Of course, it also depends on the song being played.
Bagpipes sound awesome but the Uilleann seems to not require good lungs.
Does anyone know if the English have a national instrument they play? They seem to mock other cultures in comments but they have nothing of their own from what I know.
England’s national instrument is the concertina (a smaller, more simple accordion). But fiddles and things like that are also quite traditional
@@jamesblakeley4329I was going to say Cannon fire. 😆
Uilleann pipes are better
Every time I hear this it it puts a smile on my face!
Nice. Both amazing instruments!
the song starting at 1:16 ???
HIGHLAND CHANTER IN KEY OF A 440 HZ...OLD OLD SCHOOL ! BRILLIANT !
Fantastic!!!
+ Cornwall + Wales + Brittany + Isle of Man + Galicia = The 7 Celtic Nations
Do someone know how the third tune is called??
Still one of the best vids on RUclips :)
Im Gaelic decent on both sides, never been to Ireland or Scotland yet, but all my life, I've not been able to listen to Irish or Scottish pipes with dry eyes. Any one else experience This? It's like the very sound of them run through my veins.
American are you?
@@SirMrShanks Canadian born.
what's the songs name starting at 1:16?
just checked the tuning against my mandolin its definitely D - when Highland bagpipes
are played in bands their often re-tuned so they can play in concert pitch with accordians fiddles ,flutes or in this case Irish pipes
Beautiful Music !
My tuning meter says a "D" @ A=440 hz. from the Irish Drones at the start.
The Scots Drones are corked off (silent) and it's the Irish Pipe Drones
that are playing into the Sound System.
That's a GHB Chanter in A=440 which sounds so good unlike the
modern Bb plus 48 cents.
I 1st heard Mr.Stewart on "The Irish Country 4" LP (Topic Records ?) in 1974.
The Piper that taught him was Frank McFadden of Belfast, who I met just
a month before he passed away in the Fall of 1975.
"Wonderful fusion of Irish and Scottish instruments" neither are Gaelic ....across all of Europe ye will find the pipes being played.
It's not a Gael's thing but rather a bigger Celtic thing.
Uillienn pipes good 👍 in Irish ☘️ so as bagpipes 🏴vs🇮🇪 1996
the way to close the song is galician´s muñeira rhythm, great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm half Galician, half Scottish/Irish.
I liked duelling pipers but the sound of Irish and Scottish pipes together even better
Brilliant!
::volunteers to provide the drum beat for future sessions::
Gaelic Dueling Banjos! Awesome!
I'm from Italy but fond of Scottish and Irish traditional music. One of the the tune is The geese in the bog, isn't it?
Has to be the case, because you hear the drones in the beginning before Richard's started blowing air or even picked up the pipes.
That's a harmonious music with Ireland and Scotland
The man on the highlands is a BEAST
now that's some toe tapping music!! makes me wanna get up and dance a jig!! :)
Highland pipe "a" is b-natural today or above, 480+. In the 1990's I rebuilt my Highland chanter to play A-440 for folk band and orchestra before the first professional makers began making alternate pitch Highland pipes. This is an excellent presentation of uilleann and Highlands tuned together. I have an 1850's uilleann pipe bass drone with main bore proportions same as 1910's Highland Henderson GHB drones. Some clever people, maybe the same people, may have got inside both bagpipes long ago.
makes you love the pipes just that much more. Does anyone know the name of the Jigs?
Second is the Jig of Slurs
Second is the Jig of Slurs
This owns. Bring on the drums and strings!
Love this, great musicianship !
Northumberland pipes stand just between them, bellow drove and upright drones
Is that Davy Spillane sitting on the left of Richard Parkes?
for Brendan: 2 kinds of bagpipes - guy standing is playing the Scottish version, guy seated the Irish type -- a uilleann (ill-ann). Which one do you like more? Still want to take lessons? Love you, Grandpa
gfainla who are you talking to, and also there are way more than two kinds of bagpipes
He's talking to his grandchild. In this video there isn't more than two types of bagpipe. Find another thread to have your "fun" Sgt. Saltbag haha
TheStuF this is the wrong place to contact your grandson!
why? How is any other "place" more suitable?
find a video, send a link to your grandchild.. leave a note in comments for said child. I think its a fine way to communicate and I approve!
Nice concert well done :)
that was just crack on ....well done
Did the Chinese ever have bagpipes? And are the Northumbrian small pipes the same as the uillean pipes?
Your quite right. Although A chanters are pretty hard to come by even now. that or Im not looking hard enough :L It was much easier for me to buy a set of border pipes in A for playing folk music. Wish i could learn uilleann pipes though.
I dont think richard is playing drones at all, the chanter has been flatened to d its not a mixing trick but drones would never tune this flat soundS interesting. The drones you hear are from the uillean pipes
I wonder what chanters they're using. I suppose it would have to be an A440 Highland chanter with a Concert D uilleann chanter, or a Bb 466 Highland Chanter with an Eb uilleann chanter.
@MrJohnered GHBs have no stop key mechanism. It's quite simple to stop and start the chanter while keeping the drones going, but it does require careful pressure control over the bag.
Lol they sound exactly the same but the other dude is blowing in the bagpipes
see there's always some'tin in the pipe- line....Brillant......crack on....
