splendid! I think my pipes would only end up makin funny noises if I played such fast ornaments... really fantastic playing. it's just entirely clear and perfect
Just a quick line to put right one of the comments here. The tune was indeed written to mimic the sounds of a dripping tap but this tap was in married quarters, not a POW camp. Romantic though that story may sound to anyone who has not been so interned. Awesome performance, as normal for these gents.
I haven' had peronal experience, but apparently its not that hard; the main thing is getting used to the bellows. However, like I say, I haven't tried it myself so I can't be sure.
@@MainlyHuman GS was at the Gordons depot for most of WW1, He was sent to the trenches in 1918 and became seriously ill in May of that year. The illness never left him and he died of lung cancer in 1929. It is said the dripping tap was the inspiration for the Little Cascade. At Barracks, during lessons with his father or at the Inveran Hotel where he stayed often with Angus MacPherson are all stories I have heard. He was never a POW though.
That's the point! If you don't like pipes, why should you be bothered with piping vids, then? You do not have the slightest clue what you're bashing. I don't like (American) football. Would I be bothered with bashing the Pittsburg Steelers? No!
When I emailed the BBC a couple of months ago to ask permission to upload onto RUclips, a recording I have of myself playing the pipes on a BBC programme, I was told no - it's copyright! So how are others able to upload BBC programmes, when they are not even of themselves??? By the way, I recorded The Highland Sessions too - 3 hours of wonderful music!
Hey jaksspring97, there's nothing for you to find here! If you don't like pipes then just sod off. But don't affront excellent Gaelic musicians like Iain and Allan MacDonald, bugger!
Great Stuff! What the MacDonald's do is REAL gaelic music! May this wonderful people never die out!
Absolutely fantastic, that both guys are the most talented musicians of all Alba.
My five points!!
Three amazing brothers!
Sorry about voice over at start - had to cut it slightly short for same reason.

awesome
how I wish I could with any of my brothers... hopefully my son will take up the pipes too and can play together
WOW!!!
wow
Brilliant
I love this set!Anyone know the name of these tunes?
What is the name of the 2nd tune ? Absolutely fantastic !
I haven' had peronal experience, but apparently its not that hard; the main thing is getting used to the bellows. However, like I say, I haven't tried it myself so I can't be sure.
They are very welcome to Alba Nuadh anytime too!!
The whistle is almost surely F. The smallpipes are C, they have a very nice sound and a good middle-of-the-way range. Allan seems to like them.
Och. Common, thepiper84, Mary Ann is just introducing the two MacDonald Brothers to the audience. 3.5 seconds. Nae big problem.
I love the second tune! How hard is it to change from the normal bagpipes to the small?
Yep, now I understand why Richard Stallman says copyright (more often than not) isn't used for the benefit of musicians.
Sorry - I wish I knew - perhaps someone will help out.
What is the first tune??
Cutty's wedding
Joanna Thank you! I heard a piper play this been looking for it for months now.
little cascade was written in a german pow camp about a dripping tap
G.S McLennan was never in a German POW camp
@@schoolofpiping was he not? I wonder where the story came from.

@@schoolofpiping ah, so I had part of it. Thanks for the clarification!

You've got that wrong piper.
It is a pain - but it's the producer who decides if there should be a voice over - she ain't the producer.
