This guy has won a Gold Clasp at the Oban solo competitions 3 years on a row back in the nineties. He seems to have retired from competing, but he still has the magic touch!

[BrooklynSal]

I like bagpipes but I thought this was going to be Italian bagpipes. They used to have them when I was a kid in Little Italy in NYC.

[bagpiper135]

what are the names of those tunes?

[RyanONeill]

the first one is john ryan's polka, not sure on the 2nd one

[dmarker21]

Interesting. My grandmom grew up in south philly, but never heard of such thing. I had to go back to sicily to get my set. I guess it skipped a few generations ; )

[canegrace]

Ma tu guarda che simpaticissima combinazione.

[scottishkid92]

I really enjoyed this video clip well done thanks for posting this video =)

[willow2oo7]

thats was great that, coming from another piper. really good jam lol

[wyjpc5]

I'm not sure that it is John Ryans Polka. You can find the sheet music here:

google chris peterson cpmusic

I took the music to Coleraine this year and got 3 lassies to play it (2 fiddles & guitar); they said they called it the 2nd Kerry Polka.

But I got my daughter to write our the music for Nick's tune for my practice chanter - I've just ad libbed on the grace notes.

[hellsandbells]

wooooow! That was brilliant! are you using any drones?...or am i just deaf. Its brilliant! i want the music too :/ or just to see your fingers playing it up close so i could learn it that way! dreams. :) thats was fantastic. Really, it was.

[wildflowers323]

That's actually really cool... You usually think of bagpipes as squeal-ey and belch-y but that is soooo beautiful. I love the song you're playing. I don't know what it is, to be honest, but it's nice. What city were you in? It's gorgeous too!!

[barganews]

that is Barga in Tuscany Italy ... put the name barganews into a search engine anbd have a look at the place ... it is the smallest city in Italy but VERY vibrant

ciao

[wildflowers323]

I wanna go there!!!! :) haha are there any nice schools (colleges) up in that area?? so i could move there in a couple of years?????!!??

[Mortarattack]

Well, there are a couple of American univerisities in Florence, like the Syracuse University Florence Center, ideal if you want to study art or architecture

[wildflowers323]

Seriously??? My dad went to syracuse!! Lol that would be really cool. And he actually mighnt agree to something like that. Thanks so much you're totally my hero!!!!

[Mortarattack]

Just google "american universities florence" you'll find plenty of stuff

[wildflowers323]

YES! Amazing! I'm definately looking into all of those.

[maclarenpiper]

[RyanONeill]

[daniel2177]

[nickmacvicar]

[surciasurcia]

[MaDiTube]

Awesome! Feeds the soul.

[nickmacvicar]

Hey Guys, these are great compliments, thank you so much. Makes me feel good. I'm sorry though, I have no sheet music for bagpipes of this tune

[Vwulf]

Hey, I ran through the video and think I have the tune figured out, sans a couple of notes perhaps or timing, I can put them up on my page in .bww or .pio form, or maybe just as an image file if people are interested

[bagpipingninja]

Yes, can you please put it up in .bww format. Greatly appreciated.

[emochildxxx]

like it

[TheDawi]

Every Time when someone ask me why i play the Bagpipes I show him video its great. i would like a copy of sheet music for pipes too if available.

Maik Strehse

[wyjpc5]

I'm still listening to it after several weeks - would like a copy of sheet music for pipes if available.

Jimmy P.

[dancintuba]

I listen to this like everyday. I just think it's beautiful and how musicians can just come together and play.

[5tgi]

I call this tune 40 Pounds Float. By the way, that's me playing, and the tune is from the movie Titanic, so you can check if you don't believe it. The second part is improvised...maybe it sounds like Ryan's Polka, I don't know. Did I violate any copyrights?

[emochildxxx]

hey! ur a gr8 piper! chek sum of my stuff  it aint gr8 but its ok i think its not my best material btw

[JimmyBen]

John Ryan's Polka.

[kundalinifire]

That's so Rockin'! Can anyone tell me what tune this is?

[JimmyBen]

John Ryan's Polka.

[DimebagDarrell]

i watched the first 13 seconds. nothing special

[barganews]

its more the fact that you are watching this film which was shot in Barga Tuscany Italy and not scotland - that makes it interesting don't you think ? This was a jamming session on the street, they had never played together before ... in fact it was the first time that the guitar player had EVER played with a pipes player ... he tuned down his guitar to be join the piper ...

[DimebagDarrell]

i didnt know any of that. i just new that they were playin. but having a musical talent especially in guitar, thats pretty damn good. just because your barga news oh man.

lmao

[rachelsouza]

Perfect...I LOved.
