Bagpipes @ Weavers Needle

[lavendderrable]

Amazing scenery, bad performance ! No offense

[silverarrowslk]

Great playing and very evocative but do you know what tale the tune tells? I'm assuming that you do :-) Flodden 1513

[silverarrowslk]

How bizarre to hear the pipes in such a far away land (I'm a Scot from Glasgow) : -)

[sharkey1912]

Do one drummerboi with ur high horse bullshit.

[MeatTaco33]

Hahaha this is too cool...could spill it if i heard this out on a hike!!!

[chivovolador]

I dream with do that

[tiatap]

The native americans don't want to hear that anglo shit!!

[TheDrummerboi94]

@tiatap The Native Scots dont want Anglo shit either mate ;) Scots are Celtic and Gaelic, descendants of the Angle's and Picts who were descendants of the Brythonic tribes, Anglo's were origonally from Northern Europe in otherwords the first Illegal immigrants into Angleland (England) ;)

[IIOV8MC2]

so great me dear comrade!!!!! wonderfull!!! thank for sharing that with the world!!! I appreciate so much your work ♣ greetings from Irish Colony Admiral William Brown, Buenos Aires, Argentina.... :) ♣

[mx3batdude]

Did you climb to the top of God's thumb to see if there where onions? Lol great song, and the setting couldn't be more amazing.

[LOMANDYO]

Well done Lass.

[stoneycartoon]

[toxer79]

so beautiful, happy to see this vid

[LoserBirdie]

Woa, so beautiful! i wish i could do that, haha

Great.

[seandillon5150]

for freezing fingers, you've got the best "flowers of the forest" on youtube, even with the small mistakes. for the most part its nice and open, like its meant to be played. best of luck in your piping.

*Flodden

[simontw]

Kostagh, nobody claims it's Celtic...it's Scottish, and if you can prove any version existed before the battle of Floddeen Field, i'm a monkeys uncle!

[headinjuredkeeper]

You're a monkey's uncle then. The versions from Asia and Africa notwithstanding...From Wikipedia:"The Cantigas de Santa Maria, compiled in Castile in the mid-13th Century, depict several types of bagpipes. [3] Though evidence of bagpipes in the British Isles prior to the 14th Century is contested, bagpipes are explicitly mentioned in The Canterbury Tales (written around 1380): A baggepype wel coude he blowe and sowne, /And ther-with-al he broghte us out of towne.[4]"

[hipfan39]

added to my favourits! Simply amazing...

[BillDFC]

It is a lament for the fallen at Flodden field in 1513. Scotland lost her King as well as some 10,000 men.

[bodhran61]

good to see good to hear you...

[Bernier666]

Impresionante.

Muchas gracias :)

[moe3045]

Wow, I love that song. I gotta learn that one.

[Olympus79]

Good Piping, great landscape!

[hardma]

Very nice i recently had to learn this tune, unfortunatly to play at funerals.

[greg8263]

The pipes are still a very BRITISH instrument and The Lament brings home the cost that has been paid over the years by Brits, be they English, Welsh, Scottish or Irish.

Always brings a tear to my eye every Nov 11th.

[Kostagh]

VERY, VERY WRONG!!!! Hystorically it is not EVEN celtic. It has been used throughout Europe and most of Central and near Asia since before Christ. Even today it is a central part in most Balkan folk songs (Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Bosnija a.s.o.). Actually it is called GAIDA in Bulgaria and Southern Romania, very close to GAITA from Spain.

[ErnstBecker]

British ? Sorry boyo. That couldn't be further from the truth.

[DudelsackOnline]

Well Done ! Carry On, there still some mountains ;-)

Thomas

[emblemas1]

Sounds great! Wish you'd been there last weekend to see us off. We climbed, and slept on, Weavers Needle. Could have used the encouragement!!

[thewomandirector]

Looks and sounds great!

[iamcain]

Very Well played... I wish I could play that well. Interesting choice of tune "Flowers of the Forest" considering there isn't a tree around for miles LOL Well done

[cymrubahaus78]

weell dddoooone! please.leave the bagpipes to the scots and the irish...yanks may play banjo!

[Maverz290]

Dude that was well played... what are you talking about?

[3tangle3]

Mate it was well played! Half the american europeans are probably scots and irish. 21 of the 24?? ppl who signed the declaration of independence were scottish or of origin. Irony that mostly scots got rid of the 'Brit' english from america or not? I digress

[cymrubahaus78]

mate that ws not bad but quite a bit slow played on my opinion..cheers!

[MikeMaestro757]

So beautiful and poetic! Thank you

[RabbiTapirStein]

Very very cool. Thank you. 5 stars

[AvengedAmaranth]

this actually made me cry

[DarkestDream1]

Drivin' tears in eyes and heardt.

[LoydGDBonafide]

Thank you.

[Reepicheep77]

Wow, I thought Arizona was just one bog flat desert, but this scene is absolutely beautiful in a strange way.

And I will second that the pipes fit in so well with the setting. :D

[sorich]

I feel like drinking a beer!

[manicmechanic76]

two

[bennyman1982]

I think it is in Arizona, US, but it looks so much like Scotland, that you could easily think you are in Scotland rather than 7000 miles west. in America.

[georiorico]

Is that in AZ?

[Kraaauss]

yeah, out on the peralta trail in the superstition mountains, east of phoenix.

[kosai19]

Wonderful song and an amazing view. Thanks for posting.

[bennyman1982]

I have a bit of Scottish blood in me so I feel quite at home watching this.

[TyrMetalGods]

The bagpipes are such an eerie instrument, they fit the landscape perfectly. Thanks for sharing.

[argyll80]

very good !! i like it very much

[UndeadTurk]

Awesome! Enchanting tune and a wonderful setting. A very charming video. Thank you.

[sickbuffalo]

Wonderful rendition sir

[RebelDad1861]

Great Tune...are there very many Weavers in Scotia?

[moonknight9]

Great tune, great vista!!! what's the altitude there? I played Rubicon peak and had a headache for two days... lol

[Kraaauss]

eh, the altitude isn't too bad. It's not that high up in the Superstitions. The cold was the worst though.

[thrush1488]

Very nice im saving it to my Favorites "thx" from the U.S 88

[thecelticpiper]

NICE MATE ! CHECK OOT MINE 2

[ponkkaa]

well played Bonnie lassie.

[Kraaauss]

again, i'm a dude.

[ponkkaa]

Sorry I can nae tell from behind. Still vera weel done.

[GwaiiEagle1]

Nice. Top shelf.

[creamofcardstv]

Your video clip is great and I've rated it as awesome. Please check out mine on some 1920's trading cards of musical instruments, including the bagpipes.

[Kraaauss]

it's actually in Arizona, in the States. It's in the superstition mountians, east of phoenix.

[jimusgrimus]

Was it written for the Scots slaughtered by the English during the highland clearences?

[MetalSanke]

yes but now its played to honor fallen solider's of all nations.

[jimusgrimus]

Yes......it makes you think of all the young people who were sacrificed in the past.....and indeed today, on the alter of politicians intransigece, greed, ambition, self agrandisement, which is dressed up as some sort of fucking patriotism, to serve an idol of lunacy and mass murder. i make no apologies for my detestation of the U.S. neo con criminal government and my own leaders from so called great britain, who follow intheir wake like whipped curs

[cheddernucleicacid]

>>Was it written for the Scots slaughtered by the English during the highland clearences? <<

Nope. It was written as a lament for the 10,00 Scots who never came home from Flodden Field in 1514.

[Bally0120]

It's true, but the Battle of Flodden was (9th September) 1513

[cheddernucleicacid]

>>It's true, but the Battle of Flodden was (9th September) 1513<<

I assure you that was a typing error (which I though I had gotten away with ;-))

[IrishKow]

thats flowers if the forest.. i know i just learned it

[ferryman1903]

What a sad song :( but its so gd ...hold the line black watch forever

[ohcecilia]

I'm condiditioned to think of my granddad and his sheep when I hear this song. All the same, great show. Weaver's Needle - that's in the States, yeah?

[Kraaauss]

yeah, it's right near where I live.

[lonelyford]

Keep going girl,,,love you playing...Frank

[Kraaauss]

contrary to popular belief, I'm actually a guy. thanks though.

[pipingmonkey]

Flowers of the field? Or Forest?  Nice though.

[Kraaauss]

yeah, i need to keep my names straight. thanks though.

[scottie278]

..wonderful, perfect setting...and from my experience of playing ..rememberance etc..it is always freezing..so well done for braving the elements...and for the guy who thinks the GHB is purely Brit getta grip, the clearances ensured the pipes emigrated with the folk, and a great many commonwealth soldiers..and US died in wars since then......no one owns scenery..or music.....from a scot's piper with many years army service.
