Wow! That was great! As a newer piper I can only HOPE to achieve the level you are at someday! You should be proud of what you can do, and are an inspiration to those of us looking to improve ourselves!
@syrianconnection I wouldn't say that's its too fast, considering the fact that he's playing the hornpipe version of it. You listen to those like the red hot chile pipers or people who play thunderstruck (even though Gordon Duncan originally played it slower)and then you can see that this is actually very good
I think I would like to hear this great tune played a wee bit slower at the beginning. It often is and then the speed builds to magnificent effect. Your arrangment sort of goes from fast to faster and in addition to losing the building of the music, some of your movements get a little trampled on.
Man, how long have you been playing? Do you charge that amount purposely? When I play for 10 minutes even, I get $175 and $200 for 15 min. For a piper, you need to charge more. Its easy money.
how much!!? well depending on the exchange rates obviously but i live in scotland and i can get about £70 - £110 a performance. which is still really good but that seems like a lot.

He must wear quite a lot of rings on his fingers (speaking about the tan lines on them or is it the lighting), but maybe they are made of pure led so he can play that fast lol
Your technique is absolutely flawless... It's astounding.
Do you have the sheet music for all of the parts you just played? I can't find sheet music for more than two or three parts and I really want to learn this tune! I've only been on pipes for about 2 years, so I know I couldn't possibly belt it the way you just did, but I'd be at peace just knowing I have the music for it.
can u do me like a heuge favour :D plz.. can u try and get me a copy of that? :) cheers. and the clumsy lover if u can, cant seem 2 get them anywhere :(
Nicely done my lad. Very nice. Now loosen up the body and you'll find the fingering gets even smoother. I know this is going to sound odd and teribly zen, but it works. Practice by closing your eyes and really relaxing...sway back and forth with your body and feel the rhythm with your body and soul...you'll be a world-class piper if you stay with it.
when he started, I was thinking, "Hmmm, hey, relax buddy". Umm......heh....never mind. Awsome talent there, when he going up against Willie McCallum ?
Marvelous!!!!
