Boy is it weird to find yourself on the internet 10 years later. Iain wrote these jigs and we recorded them on his solo album "Rooted in Tradition." That's my brother next to Iain holding his set of smallpipes.
These are Scottish smallpipes - a bellows blown pipe with drones in a common stock and parallel bore chanter. Uilleann pipes have a conical bore chanter. They are bigger, but also have the drones (and regulators) in a common stock and are bellows blown. See my video of Jerry O'Sullivan.
Fireside pipes and similar miniature highland pipes are not really smallpipes (though they are small pipes). The Victorians refered to these types of pipes as chamber pipes or parlour pipes.
Hey, it's my mom's piping instructor playing in my home town!
Iain is just such a great piper. And he always looks like he's having a great time whenever he plays. It makes it look so easy, which is really the mark of a great player...
What's the name of the tune Iain is playing?

Love how the annoying chick with the spoons thinks she's playing a real instrument.

Sounds really good except for the spoons they are a bit to loud.

It's nice to see someone enjoying playing the spoons, but it's really annoying.

I know they aren't Uillean pipes, because I know Iain, and he can't play Uillean pipes that well ;-)

I have a christmas bagpiping CD and on the back of the CD it says Iain MacHarg for the bagpiper. Are you the same one? Nice piping by the way

Wicked piece of music and I love the small pipes. The only thing missing from that piece is a good bodhran.
