The March Of The Kings Of Laois - French Bagpipe

A Canadian friend asked me to do a video of that tune. I gotta admit, it's not my best take on it, but at least I did it now. I do play my French Cornamuse (Bagpipe). The tune is Scottish, I think.

And I may be a little fast on it, playing it more as a jig, than a march...

Sometimes I think it would be fun to start a Bagpipe Underground. but being alone in there would suck...

[HaileISela]

@Uuuurk thanks, they're tuned in G

[xXiCossackXx]

is not "French Bagpipe"

name is Pipasso...Of Picardy (France)

[HaileISela]

@xXiCossackXx it's a cornemuse du centre. and calling it a French bagpipe is absolutely correct since it is a type of bagpipe from central France.

The Kings of Loais are Irish....... but a version of this tune is played/dedicated to Prince Charlie though

[HaileISela]

@KevinthePiper allright, I'd been told it's a scottish tune... but hey, in the end how could I really know? it's a beautiful tune.

does anybody know who wrote this tune?

Any SGHP march is played about that speed, jigs are about twice as fast.

[aymanilduce]

One of my favorites. Great work even if a bit fast! keep this alive please.

@HaileISela that's often the way with Irish/Scottish music..... but I have to agree. I have been relearning the tune on my uilleann pipes again :p

Just a quick note on the speed I think for that more speed is better..... I remember the cheiftains gave it bit of welly ;)
