Hey Bruce, what setting is this? It seems like the Angus MacKay setting, but from the music I'm looking at the the torluath and crunluath variations are written differently?
Now, that is Highland Piping! Your RU-vid shows are first class and deserve a much wider exposure to the piping fraternity and beyond. As a native Scot I believe that we can learn a lot from our piping diaspora, particularly Canada. From Glasgow.
Such a great tune. Cole, my dear, don'i come near, don'i come near, don'i come near. Cole, my dear, don'i come near, I'm prisoner here, I'm prisoner here. You can just feel the urgency in the music. Thanks for the resource, Bruce.
Currently , in this video I think I am playing a 2011 set of McCallum Bagpipes, a Gandy Blackwood chanter , eezedrone reeds, and a Lee and sons bag. Not sure what chanter reed I had in there
Hello brother Robertson! I just wanted to know if we had our own certain clan song? I am getting ready for my funeral and my grandmother was a Gordon and their famous hit was "When the battle is over" by The Gordon Highlanders. Is there any exclusively Robertson/Donnachie songs that any one knows of?
Ah this is Bruce Gandy. But he’s playing a piobaireachd (“pea-brock”) called Struan Robertson’s salute. Piobaireachd is the traditional music of the highland bagpipe, and Bruce is a pro! Pretty rad, eh?
Thanks Bruce, This has helped my tuning tremendously. I was on the cusp of getting it “right” but just not on where it should be. This method has got my tuning to where it needs to be and has taught me a new method that worked for me and my developing ears.
That's a great point Bruce. Part of the reason I stopped competing in solos is that I was never confident in my tuning, even though I got received positive comments. It probably wasn't my lack of ability but my perspective.
