Irish Jig 3 ::: Bagpipes (Blow, finger and squeeze)

[spettro9]

tune is Rakes of Kildare

[crashgorilla]

who plays the song and what is it called?

[MDPP4664]

The English banned the pipes for centuries because of the fear it rose in English ranks and the bravery it brought out in the Scotts and Celts.

irish, scottish ? its not english. who cares its a good pipe tune and was played very well.but not english, english folk music is shite. bellow head and all that lot..

[doozerjack]

The current name reflects the contemporary English term "union pipes", which in turn is a part translation of the original Irish-language term píobaí uilleann, which means "pipes of the elbow". The idea they were first made in England might have come from the same school of thought that says football is a modern English invention. England of course was originally as Celtic as Ireland, but lost its ancient culture at the hands of the Romans about 2,000 years ago. Just one perspective to consider

Where is everyone getting their facts about the uilleann pipes first made in england? I am not arguing, I play the uilleann pipes and i want to know where everyone are getting their facts or is every one just claiming stuff for shits and giggles.

In fact the Irish adopt instruments all the time and brand them as Irish the Greek bozuki as a perfect example or the penny whistle. Even the modern instrument now labeled as the Irish flute was developed by an English flautist Charles Nicholson in the early 19th century. It inspired Bohem to make the modern keyed flute and as these instruments (Nicholson) flutes became obsolete they were adopted by Irish and Scottish traditions.

This is all Scottish music and sound...

What's Irish about it? lol

It's got 'Irish' in the video title, so where's all the Irish stuff like Flutes, Riverdance, Green tights, Gold seeking Leprechauns etc?

[Uuuurk]

@segano1 The song is a irish song, not schottish. The irish ulliean pipes in the photos were also kinda irish=)

[segano1]

@Uuuurk First off, you've no business commenting on nations you're nothing to do with.

Second, It's spelt "Scottish" not "schottish", I suggest you keep your illiteracy for the nursery.

[segano1]

@Uuuurk Third, the so called 'Irish Uilleann pipe' was actually invented by an Englishman in the mid 1800's who took a Scottish set of bagpipes and made a softer variation of them called 'Union Pipes' to celebrate the union between Scotland, England and Ireland, it was later adopted by Irish republicans who Gaelicised the 'Union pipes' to 'Ulleann pipes' and claimed them as Irish aided by Irish myth makers who re-wrote (now de-bunked) Irish history to give it some kind of pedigree it never had.

[segano1]

@Uuuurk You have Irish myth makers such as W.H Grattan Flood and Henry Sarks with their 1911 myth made fantasies to support your mere opinionated beliefs.

Not just the Irish Catholic national propaganda of the early 1900s at the height of the Irish republicanism movement, the modern made up 'Celtic' term the Irish revisionists fell in love with also, a term that was first coined by an English linguist who used it only to group disused ancient British languages, the term was also later hi-jacked.

[MsOneiroi77]

@segano1 your correct the modern name for the Uilleann pipes was Gaelicized at the turn of the 20th century by Flood, before then the pipes were known as the Union pipes and were played and developed all over the British Isles by makers and players in Scotland, England and Ireland. They come from the older Pastoral pipes which are first recorded in London in 1724 and some of the finest sets were made by Robert Reid in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in the North of England.

[segano1]

@Uuuurk Thanks to the seminal works of Simon James (1999) and Brian Sykes (2006), the 'Celtic' term can be understood for the Victorian romantic idiocy that it is.

[WildRover1745]

@segano1

While your facts are largely correct, I must say I am quite surprised at the caustic conclusion you draw from it. And youtube probably isn't the best location to launch polemical dissertations...
