A note to any Yanks reading this: this is Northumbrian music, as in "from Northumberland, a region of northern England," and not from either Scotland or Ireland. Yes it's a bagpipe.

Don't worry, if you learn something, it won't hurt.
I've seen Kate and her band live several times now and the whole time they are playing you are transported away from this world and all its troubles and arguments and problems - its a sheer joy to escape like this and I recommend anyone who ever has the chance, to get to see her - or indeed, just take a few minutes away from thinking all your thoughts, kick back and enjoy some 'off time' whilst appreciating the music!

Omg people, this is Irish folk music, for fucks sake relax and listen to this woman, she's amazing. The internet is a sewer, that's for damn sure.

@seonidh You have made a fool of yourself again. You came on this page pretending to be English when you are Irish. You cannot just appreciate the music so you throw insults like the pathetic loser you are. Go Troll elsewhere. You have been soundly defeated here. Oh and I see that the fastest growing religion in Ireland is Islam. More mosques that churches built last year. Hey ho. Get that Burkha on. You can pretend to be Arabic! Like you pretended to be a Japanese earthquake survivor......
@seonidh So now you accept that you are a biggotted Irish girl who hates the British, particularly Welsh people! You are not very bright are you. Never said you weren't from the British Isles. Irish is included in the British Isles. You are an Irish girl or you would have said you were English earlier. You only claimed to be English when you realised how badly you had been humiliated. So you still know nothing about history, geopgraphy, kilts, bagpipes, tartan etc. then. Sad girl fails again...
@seonidh@seonidh Oh and by the way... prove I'm not Welsh then. If you go to my channel you will see the vid of Rhinog Fawr. The comment about me living beside this mountain is left a long time ago. Are you saying that I 'had a premonition' that I was going to argue with a silly ignorant Irish girl biggot and put it on for that reason. You make yourself sound more stupid and pathetic by the post. To call you Strawgirl would be an insult to the intellect of straw....
And you know what you dont speak for the English or British people (as I am one), I will never vote BNP as a vote for you muppets. You are a perfect mouthpiece of a failed political party. Anglic not British in the geographical sense as you would respect the Irish, Scots and Welsh as people living in the British isles. The truth of the matter is the scots, welsh and english are British and instead of a unity you would try to break up the union. Well done hardly British unionist now are you.
@seonidh You show your sad retarded ignorance again. Yes I agree the Welsh Irish and Scots are British as you say. So what is your futile point? You are neither English nor British, you are just a loser so you fail both criteria.
Oh and heres fun... Rule, Britannia is a British patriotic song, no doubt to fire up your English/Welsh soul originating from the poem "Rule, Britannia" by James Thomson. . . . . . a Scotsman! So if you want to talk about proud British symbols gag on that the next time you sing it while fire bombing Pakistani muslems out of their houses you BNP muppet!

Looks like I'll be the one seeing you firebomb pakistani families out of Bradford on sky news. Ypu know what till our little conversation I was proud of my English blood but now Im going to have a shower and think what upbringing could deliver a sick muppet like you.

But you know what no mater how much you blackshirt wearing nazis think their here to stay in Blighty. No matter how much you complain they'll breed and have children, multiply and put up Sikh temples and mosques. Hahahaha
@seonidh And here's fun.... Wasn't the capital of Ireland founded and named by the.... Danes... So next time you are in the Danish town of Dublin remember me. Hey ho.....
@seonidh Citations..... The Sots National Bagpipe Centre in Glasgow. The McRimmon Bagpipe museum on Ske. Genetics. Cited..... It may be hard for your tiny mind to see the reference to the two PROFESSORS on the posts but hey, the reat of us noticed. You are good at making yourself look stupid aren't you. Oh, census, 98% of Scots speak ENGLISH as a first language.
You might be interested in knowing that the first bagpipes in England (documented sources) are from the The Canterbury Tales in the 14th century not from Northumberland. The first Scottish depiction of a pipe is a French pipe not English at Burntisland castle in the 14th century. Falkirk plaid pre-dates Saxon, Dane invasion. Try to get at least some of your facts right when you assume something.
@seonidh So all the historians disagree with you but you think you are right! I am glad you agree (you provided no counter argument) that Edinburgh is named after King Edwin of Northumbria. No record of it being called Edinburgh before that. Falkirk plaid is like the Lowland Scots then. Anglo-Saxon. As with all Celtic 'nationalist' arses you know nothing about your own history and rely on fantasy. And your laughable arguent on the Scots Bagpipe says that the only Scots bagpipe is..... French...!
@Leofricson well the experts would call your assumption utter bollocks considering all of the lowlands, north of England was brythonic speaking Gododdin, Rheged, strathclyde hardly anglic kingdoms in the 3rd century. So no your wrong. Also if you want to bring up that English people are 85% Celtic then Lowland scots are 85%+ celtic so your argument falls flat on its face. As for Edinburgh being called after Edwin who cares it was called Gododdin long before that. Arse!
King of Northumbria is a nationalist arse making claims he cant back up for instance there are fragments of the same tartan as claimed by Northumbria has textile evidence dates to the 3rd century in Falkirk which and was in use long before the Northumbrians. Enlighten us with more of your bile King what else can you get wrong in your nationalist rant to prove and fail at the same time that scottish people copied northumbrian culture?
@seonidh Errrrrr..... Sorry to burst you bubble but the 3rd century Falkirk was part of Northumbria. The gene survey showed the 'Lowland' 'Scots' as being the most Anglo-Saxon people in the UK! More English than the English. Edinburgh for instance is named after King Edwin of Northumbria..... 'Edwin's Burgh'. Dumfries means 'the fort of the Friesians'. The only nationalist arse here is you pretending you are a cletic nationalist and denying the realities of history! Pipes, tartan, kilts, English
@Leofricson Errrr.....no sorry to burst your bubble but the kingdom of Northumbria was founded post-Roman Britain established by Anglian settlers of the 6th century. No Angle, Jute, or Northumbrian were there. Oh and the celtic kingdom of Gododdin "Edinburgh" and the area where Falkirk is situated was called "Yr Hen Ogledd" the old north. Learn your history the Northumbrians only got as far as Edninburgh in 638. There are two nationalistic arses here yourself and King.
@seonidh Oh and by the way you need to read the studies done by Brian Sykes and Stephen Oppenheimer. They are only Professors of Genetics... They say the average English person is 85% Ancient British stock. More 'celtic' probably than you. Indeed the Anglo-Saxon replacement myth is just that, a myth. Indeed in Cheddar a 10,000 year old 'cheddar man was dug up to be tested and found to be related to many locals and one English man locally was a direct descendant. Bagpipes, tartan, kilts, English
@Leofricson Did I say English people were ALL Germanic, angles, saxons? Your the one who puts premise on that culture. So with that retoric the Danes and Germans kicked your arses. Instead of speaking a native celtic language you speak German. Hahahahaha cant have it both ways. Muppet.
@seonidh So with that retoric the Danes and Germans kicked your arses. Instead of speaking a native celtic language you speak German. Hahahahaha cant have it both ways. Muppet.
Note deary, you're not speaking Pictish now are you....... D'oh.....
@seonidh Clearly now you are running out of argument. But still 98% of the Scots nation speaking English as a fist language. Even Gaelic is an immigrant language in Scotland and Ireland. Gales came from of Spain.... Galicia and Portu 'Gal'. So even when the Scots learn Gaelic they are learning an invaders language.! It may interst you to know that I am Welsh! So what 'nationalist' am I then?
"Try to get at least some of your facts right when you assume something."
So you talk of the Danelaw in the North of England. Isn't that the same as the 'Sudries', Sutherland and Orkneys and Shetlands..... Looks like the Norse kicked your arses too.
@seonidh So someone who can't even uite her own coutry tries to give advice on how to unite a country..... Wow.....looks like you just kicked yourself in the teeth there with that glib comment. Yup the Queen is half Scottish.... So what?
@seonidh So still can't provide any argumet that the Bagpipe was not first played in Britain by the English or that tartan and kilts were not originally English. The modern Kilt was invented in 1727 by Thomas Rawlinson..... errrrm... An Englishman. First makers of Whiskey... the Welsh...... You lose again. Hey ho. I see according to your own census. 86% of Ireland speaks English as a first language. So on your logic you got your arses kicked as well then......
"can't provide any argumet that the Bagpipe was not first played in Britain by the English" PLAYED and not given is different you have no proof a pipe was English and given to the scots.
"First makers of Whiskey... the Welsh" The Irish would have something to say about that
"Thomas Rawlinson kilts" he didnt design the felie mhor get your facts right as he went to scotland AFTER Culloden where men wore the kilts. So on your logic you got your arses kicked again.
@seonidh Oh and I see that The King of Northumbria has many more votes than your sad attempts. Loser. If the Scottish Bagpipe center and the McRimmon Bagpipe museum in Scotland can admit that the bagpipe was fist brought to Britain by the English then why can't you? The McRimmon centre postulates another theory, that the first piper of Scotland was brought back on the Crusades by Laird McLeod (Himself half Norse, half Anglo-Norman) from Italy! So Scotland's first piper may have been....Italian!
@Leofricson and where did Englands pipes come from England I think not France and Holland far back than that Turkey! So dont assume to hold any airs and graces over anything scotland has. Lol you'll be one of those BNP filth next. . . oh wait yes I think you are.
@seonidh You fail to understand the most basic point. The English are not 'Anglish' and never were. Test.... Who was the fist person to use the Word English and what did it mean? You know so much about history... tell us all. Come on get on wiki.
I have never said that the English did not get the bagpipe from elsewhere. So you fail again. But it is accepted tht the first players in Britain were English.
Citations aleady given. You have given none. You fail again.
@Leofricson Hahahahaha omg you are such an arse "Proud British nationalist" should mean you are proud of all the native cultures in Britain including the scottish, welsh, and Irish. But noooooo you have to come out with utter germainic anglic crap the English gave the scots everything! You confuse British with a right wing English viewpoint. You know what I have family from England (both sides) and I actually feel ashamed to have an association to the place now. If the BNP are like you.
@Leofricson yeah "god save the queen " (who is half Scottish btw) and all that "no black in the union jack" nonsense. Hardly uniting the native peoples of Britain with your vitriol. I mean thats your political objective right well you wont achieve anything like that with your attitude.
@seonidh "Errrr.....no sorry to burst your bubble but the kingdom of Northumbria was founded post-Roman Britain established by Anglian settlers of the 6th century. No Angle, Jute, or Northumbrian were there. Oh and the celtic kingdom of Gododdin "Edinburgh" and the area where Falkirk is situated was called "Yr Hen Ogledd" the old north."
I agree. So what's your futile point? So Edinburgh was named after King Edwin then. Try to get at least some of your facts right when you assume something.
@Leofricson lol and you dont assume a lot more than me for one you claim a superiority over native Britons by the so-called Anglo-Saxon culture anb then claim to be 85% British yourself.
Citations please for the bagpipes, tartan being Anglosaxon please.
anyone who knows anything about Anglian history knows that Southern Scotland took a lot of its culture and dialect from Northern England--NOT the other way around. The term "lad" also originated in Denmark, where the Angles originally came from
Doesn't the bagpipe have its ancestry somewhere in the middle east? Bit childish to get involved in a game of we where there first when Kathryn is working her magic in the universal language of music, albeit with a Northumbrian accent!
@KingOfNorthumbria@Enferushostis You should both look up the "Hallstatt Culture" which was proto-Celctic. They were weaving tartan in the BCs, and this probably spread to the British Isles. The earliest recorded tartan in the UK is the Shepard's Tartan (or Border Tartan or Northumbrian Tartan) and was likely to have been pan-celtic and the Falkirk Tartan is a variant of this.
Historically, the Shepard's tartan was associated with the Percy family of Northumberland.
@kpbarrow their are fragments of the Falkirk tartan pre-dates Northumberland as a free nation or province of England so it was celtic and not anglo saxon. The shepherds tartan textile evidence dates to the 3rd century north of the wall during the roman period and way before the Percy family.
@seonidh It also shows that the border is and was never fixed, both sides of the border influenced the other as seen in the border rants, music, varient pipes played and people. Influence is never one way based on material evidence they were weaving that check in Falkirk during the Roman times and this doesnt mean it wasnt weaved in the Tyne valley. Still it also means Northumberland didnt give it to the peoples north of the border either. Based on material evidence the Percy family adopted it.
@seonidh The Shepherd's Tartan was Northumbrian it's black and white, small checks and is dating from the 3rd century, nowt to do with Falkirk!. You have to remember that not all the land north of the wall was Scottish. The vast majority of Northumberland is north of the wall. And the fragment you are talking about was found in Otterburn which is in Northumberland the last time I looked.
So the oldeest kilt is Scottish and Northumbrian has no kilt? Well thank gord for that. Or else we'd get loads of geordies looking as daft as scotsmen at weddings and playing the pipes in the high street.
Now this must be what Youtube is for. To reintroduce me to music of my homeland from a lovely artiste I had long forgotten about. Thanks for this posting, made my week.
Also if you google the Northumbrian tartan company they state this;
The Northumberland Tartan, variously known as the Border or Shepherd Plaid
Originally worn by shepherds tending their flocks in the Border area, the check is now the Shepherd family tartan and worn throughout the world. The history of the Shepherd check is most interesting. Textile historians have been able to date a fragment of the pattern, discovered in a bottle near Falkirk, to the 3rd century A.D.
The pipes and the kilt were known in England before they were in Scot;and but died out in the middle ages with the exception of northumbria, or northumberland as its remaining part is now known as, the northumbrian shepherds plai is the oldest tartan in britain.
@KingofNorthumbria actually the border tartan was known both sides of the border. The kilt well it was standardised in the 19th century and first recorded in scotland in the 16th century. Before then the highlanders wore the Leain Croach a type of yellow robe. Yes the northumbrian tartan is old but it was the shepards tartan and worn both sides of the border. Just like the playing of the border pipes. Border history os intertwined and comes from both sides of the tweed.
@KingofNorthumbria There's no evidence WHATSOEVER that the kilt and tartan were "known in England" before Scotland, so I'm not sure where you got that idea from, nor is the oldest tartan the "shepherds plaid". The oldest is the Falkirk Sett, from Scotland, dating to the third century. Also, "shepherds plaid" is not Northumbrian, it was used extensively in Scotland and Northumbrian use appears to be due to it's proximity to Scotland.
@Enferushostis Thanks mate, I stand corrected, Am I correct tho in my assumption that both pipes and kilt were in England prior to Scotland? To get to Scotland from their points of origin they would have had to pass through, also many old records declare this. cheers
@KingofNorthumbria the pipes originated in turkey or there abouts so it must have came through france or holland to england. Doesnt mean the english traditian is any less than theirs. Kilts were known in ancient rome, egypt, greeks have them or a style of kilt so its universal.
@KingofNorthumbria If your not going to provide reference to your claims then your comments should be taken as mere speculation by all readers. It may be the case that there were pipes in Northumbria before Scotland, if as some argue Irish Kings first brought them to Dalriada, however, there is no evidence for this. If the Romans brought them as others argue then it is likely that they would have been in Northern Britain before Northumbria even existed. Fact is no-one knows.
Just like to point out a fact that Northumbria existed before Scotland and England, it stretched from the Humber to Edinburgh. The Northern English and Southern Scots are perhaps the same people, Google R1b gene. If this is true then one would expect music and culture to be similar.
@northman585 There were most certainly similarities and not just among those people who had an Angle gene marker. We have fought one another bitterly (more than any two countries in the world if were talking Scotland/England) but we have also been exchanging ideas, technology, music, art and Language for the same period of time. That exchange is always more concentrated around border regions. As for your point about Northumbria being older, what IS your point? Goddodin,Ystrad Clud, Dumnonia etc
The point about Northumbria being older is simple, the people in S/Scotland and N/England would have seen themselves as Northumbrian, as Scotland and England did not exist at that time. The R1b gene is 70% in Scotland and N/England whereas in S/England, Wales and Ireland it’s 80%. They are the same people like it or not, and that’s why we have things in common like bagpipes, tartan and dialect(not accent) the current border is only a political one.
@northman585 Sharing a marker is not what defines us it is culture which is subject to change. So we may be physically the same we are still different. We all originated from Africa then b to c to d etc. I personally don't define myself as R1b, I have a Culture and Language and play music that is in some way similar and in other ways different to others. Not better than, not superior to but different from others. We share similarities because we are neighbours not because we share Rb1 genes.
I have been a fan of Kathryn and her music for 20 years. I just love her playing. It's a pity we never see her here in Germany (at least not in the north). So the more's the thanks for this video.

You might be interested in knowing that the first bagpipes in England (documented sources) are from the The Canterbury Tales in the 14th century not from Northumberland.

As with all Celtic 'nationalist' arses you know nothing about your own history and rely on fantasy. And your laughable arguent on the Scots Bagpipe says that the only Scots bagpipe is..... French...!

As for Edinburgh being called after Edwin who cares it was called Gododdin long before that. Arse!

@KingOfNorthumbria @Enferushostis You should both look up the "Hallstatt Culture" which was proto-Celctic. They were weaving tartan in the BCs, and this probably spread to the British Isles. The earliest recorded tartan in the UK is the Shepard's Tartan (or Border Tartan or Northumbrian Tartan) and was likely to have been pan-celtic and the Falkirk Tartan is a variant of this.
Historically, the Shepard's tartan was associated with the Percy family of Northumberland.
kpbarrow 1 year ago 2
@kpbarrow their are fragments of the Falkirk tartan pre-dates Northumberland as a free nation or province of England so it was celtic and not anglo saxon. The shepherds tartan textile evidence dates to the 3rd century north of the wall during the roman period and way before the Percy family.
seonidh 1 year ago
@seonidh It also shows that the border is and was never fixed, both sides of the border influenced the other as seen in the border rants, music, varient pipes played and people. Influence is never one way based on material evidence they were weaving that check in Falkirk during the Roman times and this doesnt mean it wasnt weaved in the Tyne valley. Still it also means Northumberland didnt give it to the peoples north of the border either. Based on material evidence the Percy family adopted it.

And the fragment you are talking about was found in Otterburn which is in Northumberland the last time I looked.

Also if you google the Northumbrian tartan company they state this;
The Northumberland Tartan, variously known as the Border or Shepherd Plaid
Originally worn by shepherds tending their flocks in the Border area, the check is now the Shepherd family tartan and worn throughout the world. The history of the Shepherd check is most interesting. Textile historians have been able to date a fragment of the pattern, discovered in a bottle near Falkirk, to the 3rd century A.D.

KingofNorthumbria 2 years ago 17
@KingofNorthumbria actually the border tartan was known both sides of the border. The kilt well it was standardised in the 19th century and first recorded in scotland in the 16th century. Before then the highlanders wore the Leain Croach a type of yellow robe. Yes the northumbrian tartan is old but it was the shepards tartan and worn both sides of the border. Just like the playing of the border pipes. Border history os intertwined and comes from both sides of the tweed.
seonidh 1 year ago
@KingofNorthumbria There's no evidence WHATSOEVER that the kilt and tartan were "known in England" before Scotland, so I'm not sure where you got that idea from, nor is the oldest tartan the "shepherds plaid". The oldest is the Falkirk Sett, from Scotland, dating to the third century. Also, "shepherds plaid" is not Northumbrian, it was used extensively in Scotland and Northumbrian use appears to be due to it's proximity to Scotland.

@KingofNorthumbria If your not going to provide reference to your claims then your comments should be taken as mere speculation by all readers. It may be the case that there were pipes in Northumbria before Scotland, if as some argue Irish Kings first brought them to Dalriada, however, there is no evidence for this. If the Romans brought them as others argue then it is likely that they would have been in Northern Britain before Northumbria even existed. Fact is no-one knows.

@maciandubh
Just like to point out a fact that Northumbria existed before Scotland and England, it stretched from the Humber to Edinburgh. The Northern English and Southern Scots are perhaps the same people, Google R1b gene. If this is true then one would expect music and culture to be similar.
northman585 10 months ago
@northman585 There were most certainly similarities and not just among those people who had an Angle gene marker. We have fought one another bitterly (more than any two countries in the world if were talking Scotland/England) but we have also been exchanging ideas, technology, music, art and Language for the same period of time. That exchange is always more concentrated around border regions. As for your point about Northumbria being older, what IS your point? Goddodin,Ystrad Clud, Dumnonia etc
maciandubh 10 months ago
@maciandubh
The point about Northumbria being older is simple, the people in S/Scotland and N/England would have seen themselves as Northumbrian, as Scotland and England did not exist at that time. The R1b gene is 70% in Scotland and N/England whereas in S/England, Wales and Ireland it’s 80%. They are the same people like it or not, and that’s why we have things in common like bagpipes, tartan and dialect(not accent) the current border is only a political one.
northman585 10 months ago
@northman585 Sharing a marker is not what defines us it is culture which is subject to change. So we may be physically the same we are still different. We all originated from Africa then b to c to d etc. I personally don't define myself as R1b, I have a Culture and Language and play music that is in some way similar and in other ways different to others. Not better than, not superior to but different from others. We share similarities because we are neighbours not because we share Rb1 genes.
