  • @MrThingy3 "chickens ass," now there's a turn of phrase more likely to be heard in the U.S. than Ireland or Scotland.

  • @CardiffClassicGuitar well tradition has to come from somewhere. It just doesn't pop out of a chickens ass. The world would be a very boring place if a culture didn't retain it's traditions to the next generation. Just on the point of the Irish playing the pipes. The current world champions are an Irish pipeband from Ireland. The second best in the world are another pipeband from Ireland.

  • @MrThingy3 (2) Your right about Boru (I apologise.) If yanks want to march around pretending to be Irish/Scottish good on them. A culture is only truly expressed through its language. Tir heb iath, tir heb galon.

  • The small kilt (fèileadh beag) as seen here was developed by an English man to replace the great tunics worn in the Highlands of Scotland which were too cumbersome for Highland workers employed in his factory, (ca  1720.)

    The Great Irish Warpipes died out about 200 years ago, during the Gaelic revival of the late 19th early 20thC the Highland Pipes were appropriated as were Saffron kilts but an invented tradition is still an invention.

  • @CardiffClassicGuitar Im Irish, I think I know the history of my Island a bit better than you. The Uilleann pipes are only about 200 years old, the Irish have been playing the Great Irish war pipes for 5-600 hundred years. The Kilts here are of the Irish type being Saffron which Irish nationalists developed as a form of cultural nationalism towards the late 1890's. Brian Boru was a High King of Ireland actually.

  • @MrThingy3 The uilleann pipe is the pipe played in Ireland. The bagpipes here are Scottish as are kilts but Boru was an Irish chieftain.

  • @CardiffClassicGuitar what type of bagpipe would you have them play?
