First of all they are playing it wrong. (it sounds good but was not written at that speed.) And as Coinneachman says it isn't a very complicated tune. Its really just the same sort of phrase repeated over. If you have only been playing the pipes for 1 year then you shouldn't even be looking at a tune like this. (too advanced)

- They guys in Victoria Police have been playing for 15yrs Plus and there gifted. It takes alot more than 10rs to get that good.
Its not tough to play,, there are much more complicated tunes compared to this one, being a very nice tune its just hard to get it up to the speed the the Victoria Police Pipe Band plays it in this recording.. its quite fast

Yeah, Mark's stuff is hairy to wrap your fingers around - and it takes a bit of a mindset change. Always worth it in the end, though! :)
