I am the mother off Jim Motherwell's niece & nephew, His father who sadly passed away in Jan was a piper for almost 60 years he was a gem, Jim's son is also a piper and all three off them played for the Queen, I myself played them in my high school days, and I know it aint easy, most people couldn't even fill the bag up lol..... I am talking from experiance her Jim Motherwell is the Best in the world ... By far.
Regarding recent "piping forum" posts, I'm not so sure what all the noise is about regarding this video, Jim, or how the man is paid. Internet drama - more self promotion than substance.
That was a good show of good fun piping ,is that the same jim motherwell I saw playing desert storm for president bush snr in the white house a ways back .
Yes - lots of mistakes - all mine obviously (Coreyanne) - and I can't blame it on scotch because I'm two months pregnant!! But I can say - that's a lot harder than it looks!! :) But fun!!
navypiper - Unless Jim answers I don't know for sure, but it was probably him you saw since he does gigs like that - NCPiper - I agree, what's the big deal? I live in Hawaii and just posted this so my dad a big piping fan could see it - and finally, the fingers on the back - that was what I (the amateur) kept messing up. Jim was really good at making the hand not on the chanter really do it's job and I kept slacking off on that hand, and it really messes with your head when the other hand stops
