A lot of English lads join the regiment, and its based in England. Lots of English folks have Irish heritage so its a great way for people to celebrate that synergy when they join the army.
Irish Guards - the Micks - they only join because the Guinness is cheaper. Their fighting record since 1900 fully deserves our admiration and respect. Geoff A
Casus Knacksus I would definitely agree with you that the 1st bat. SG pipes and drums are much better than the Irish guards, but it is nice to see the Irish guards drums and pipes have 6 snares finally when the SG have been producing 6 or 7 since 2013
What an entrance ' The Holy Ground'' Was also my College song at St Mary's College ( now St Mary's University) Twickenham which also has a proud Irish tradition.
whenever the 'trooping band' comes on, they play a certain song, the ones I know: Coldstream - Bond of Fieldship, Scots - Edinburgh Castle, Irish (what your hearing) - Company Marches of the Irish Guards
@@22ndregiment46 I like when the Irish Guards are marching to "Whiskey In The Jar," there's a cracking clip of them leaving the church at Aldershot to head off to Iraq ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6tsF6B-ZiuM.html
It’s approx 5-6 yrs after the fact, nevertheless most certainly I believe Mr M’s "that’s how to make an entrance" observation ‘Nailed’ this video. Hey Irish Guards: You have ‘Set the Standard." A big Well Done! from Nova Scotia.
That was a long long wait for the P&D's to come in, which everyone is really waiting for! Much prefer it by themselves, rather than the Oompa pa pa sound together ruins it.
Well done the micks , a few tunes that Irish regts marched to , way back long ago with great proud n passion, n they always got there job done, what ever lay before them. Go on you micks. Sully
Tyvm for posting, this foot stomping stuff, just can't keep these feet still. Enjoy the music, they know how to step out smartly, then the pipes chime marvellous can't ask for more. Kiaora from NZ.
@Britannia Forgive me if i have this wrong, but as far as i can gather, Irish, Scottish, and welsh are all the same DNA so any mixture of one with the other, makes us all the same.
What is the march that is being played at 8:00 as the guards are marching Horse Guards. Is it The Star I of the County Down. It is a special arrangement. It is an amazing piece of music---. The first part is much like the folk song.
An Irish Wolfhound has been presented as a mascot to the regiment by the Irish Wolfhound Club. In 2017 the Name was Domhnall, the regiment's seventeenth mascot, retired back to Ireland, in 2019. Greetings from Germany 🧡🧡🧡
I've always wanted to join the Band of the Coldstream guards, of the Scots Guards Band, but I don't want to, and prob can't deploy.. so it sucks about that..
And that, American friends, is how you MARCH - arms parallel with the ground on every pace, thumb on top of clenched fist!! Next lesson - Marking Time......followed by The Salute.
Drum Major Johnathan Smillie, 1st Battalion Irish Guards leading The Band of the Irish Guards and The 1st Battalion Irish Guards Corps of Drums and The Pipes and Drums of the 1st Battalion Irish Guards
There went the Pipes & Drums (Support Weapons Platoon, 1st Bn, IG) and the Band of the Irish Guards ( Chemical, Biological & Nuclear Weapons specialists) - no "Disney musicians", here!
Poor sods. Height of summer in No 1 dress and Busby. The pipers having to wear the Irish Mantle on top of uniform. Must be sweating buckets, boots or brogues. Skinned toes. Great effort and sound quality music
Presumably if he did that he would then have to run forward to catch them again before they turned at the end of The Mall, and you can't follow them much further because that part of St James' Park is sealed off for The Trooping. I thought it was brilliant - especially watching them marching into position on the parade ground.
Would have been better if you had not been running so far ahead of the band all the time. I kept hoping they would catch you up so we could see them close to.
@@williamwallace2278 "must HAVE been boiling". Co Cricklewood needs to go back to school. Been boiling - what does he expect? Shorts and trainers? Dozy ....! If the Napoleon's French Guard could wear bearskins, we certainly can.
