Angus McColl teaches Piping at my school! (: and he teaches my friend, who is really good at piping too! :D

[Gaelforced]

Angus McColl playing for Scotland !...Why have Adidas not noted that one of the greatest pipers on earth plays in "sambas" we haven't had a striker like him for years...he takes my breath away...and I'm a bloke!..Christ almighty I need a blast from Angus in the morning as much as I need to live...

[piper7273]

[Bigirishcunt]

the thing that get's me is How the hell can you talk when someone like Angus is playing? SHUT UP!!!

[jsemperparatus]

Ah... I just closed my eyes and drifted away to the land of my fathers... with tears in my eyes...

[McDudelsacker]

Leaving Port Askaig.... jaw dropping. we were lucky enough to play on Islay last year, wonderfull hospitality and stunning scenery. I have a view of Arran and Ailsa Craig every day and was still amazed by the views on the ferry crossing.

What's sitting on my chair watching this video is a one and only goose bump, if you know what I mean :-) - Absolutely fantastic and at the same time very touching.

[RainyDayPiper]

You have a great piping name. Aside from Angus McColl, search for the tunes Mrs. John McColl and The Clan McColl, both written by piping great John McColl.

[Bigirishcunt]

[highlandponiesdotcom]

Mike either you like pipes are you don't. There is no in between.

[quinnthepiper]

can anyone tell me the first tune is i think its fucking class and i really want to learn it.

[dylanppd]

the first tune is a 6/8 march called "Leaving Port Askaig" by P/M William Ross

[MacArthurPiper]

Shame the camera man couldn't keep the soding camera on Angus! Don't really want to see people taping their feet or what their doing!

[mike118117]

I love the sound of the pipes when played by bands, especially the Scottish Regimental Bands. My brother having served in the Cameronian Rifles during WW2. The Solo pipes I am not so keen on, particularly when they are played indoors. They should be played on Rannoch Moor, preferably whilst I am on Exmoor. On two occasions in my life I unwittingly found myself in an enclosed space with solo bagpipers. I now choose my social venues very carefully and sit close to the door just in case one appears

[alvindurochermtl]

Fair enough...though the pipes sound great in a church...bottom line...not all indoor venues are unsuitable for the pipes provided the ceiling is high enough.

[mike118117]

You are right. My first experience of an indoor solo piper was in a bar at Fort William. Far from ideal. My brother's wife, who died recently, had her coffin escorted to her grave by a lone piper. Very moving. But I have a preference for the massed pipers playing a lament such as " The Flowers of the Forest"; or the slow march which escorted Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother to her funeral service. Sounds which can stir the hearts of the English too.

[alvindurochermtl]

Sorry to hear about your sister in law. In any case, Lochabor No More is better as a lament...check it out when you have the chance.

[DENDRITE3]

stir an English heart? ARE YOU JOKING,

[mike118117]

I don't understand your comment, but I think that I can detect hint of racist attitude in there. Would I be correct in assuming that?

[salopianlad]

port askaig one of my favourite tunes

[IRVINEDRUM]

My favourite piper. Wonder if he is a close relation to the famous John Roderick McColl of Oban that competed against my cousin Willie Campbell ex Queen's Piper and PM PPCLI

in WW1. Many thanks 3DPiper.

Regards from

Western Australia.

[Cassturbo]

Braw wee piper there.He does the bagpipes proud.!!!

[Kellyxxzzxx]

i have met him too ..... maybe bcoz hes ma dad lol

[Gersboi]

He marches like hes on a mission... haha.

Great player.

[J2OLDS]

Well...the Pipes ARE a martial instrument :)

[unionfallen]

he has the bass resting on his head in the beginning?

[J2OLDS]

Sometimes I can't hear the bass --- when I'm on the inside, so I rest the stick near my ear so you can hear/feel the bass drone. I wonder if that's what he's doing also.

[gemmyeyah]

i have met him lol! i am a piper tuuh! xx

[askmrlizard]

I saw him today and yesterday and today. The man who walks in front of the camera at the beginning is my pipe major.

[rob58mcdonald]

Leaving Port Askaig 6/8 is first tune.

[askmrlizard]

At the workshop ha tried to teach us the tune. It's pretty hard.

[J2OLDS]

Yup, hard... has lots of notes that are there but can't be heard as the tune is played.

MacNeils of Ugandale is a very similar tune, but a whole bunch easier.

[andre8082]

Salut,

Quelle chance tu as de connaître des "pointures"comme çà !!! veinard.

Je suis sonneur au Bagad Bro Tolosa

[Viperpiper123]

the 2nd song hes playing is the McNeils of Ugadale

[Hanyewi]

This guy is awesome. Perhaps in another 5 years I could be this good.

[shuna9]

I think the first wee strathspey is Campbelltown Kiltie Ball.

[J2OLDS]

I'm still trying to figure out which tune it is for the lead up to Rose Amongst the Heather.

[Ballisticmonkey3]

Awesome tune, that one is. Now, if only I could learn every other tune he plays...I would be set!!(:

[Ballisticmonkey3]

Anybody know what kind of pipes and chanter reed he's playing. I'm pretty sure that's a Strathmore chanter.

[piperchris]

Fantastic! Angus MacColl is my all time favorite player. Thanks for sharing!

[3DPiper]

I believe it is "Leaving Port Askaig"

[Coinneachman]

Thats what it is, its played in one of our sets at work

[TheHighlandPiper]

That´s right!

[Ballisticmonkey3]

What is the name of that first tune he's playing?
