What a mixture! Never thought I would see a British military band playing in Dublin! How things have changed and hopefully for the better!.

@Hal-zf4fv 2 года назад

It's all about time we did this. Put the past behind us and move on. I never thought I'd see this happen and it makes me proud. Well done the Irish army and the royal Irish.

We, the South African Irish Regiment Pipes & Drums, were very honoured to have perform in this parade with the Royal Irish Regiment.

Wonderful to see that as Irish and British, both uniquely distinct from each other we can finally meet each other in the middle ground and appreciate each other’s culture.

@francogasparotti3052 2 года назад

so very true. such brilliance from the band and greatly appreciated as a former Guardsman who would have been immensely proud to have marched behind this band to such stirring music!!

@jameslynch7826 6 месяцев назад

It’s not unique but from the same shared history. I am a veteran of The Irish Hussars and we all play the same marches obviously.

@josephwicklow7539 5 лет назад

The only thing missing is the Irish Army pipe band, and maybe the Drums and Pipes of the Irish Guards.

@huwmorgan8515 3 года назад

The occasion was the FESSEF Dinner hosted at Trinity College and attended by the Lord Mayor of Dublin (who took the salute) and the then Taoiseach Leo Varadkar. FESSEF is designed to highlight the contribution of the Emergency Services to the safety and well-being of Ireland. There is excellent cooperation between the Emergency Services on both sides of the border. The Pipes and Drums of the Irish Regiment of the South African Army were over to play at the Belfast Tattoo and joined the Bugles, Band, Pipes and Drums of the Royal Irish Regiment to perform in Dublin. There is no politics in this but does show how far we have come across Ireland in respecting one another and enjoying different traditions. I had never expected, as a serving officer in the British Army, to throw the ball in to start a GAA football match nor to see the Irish Guards play the RAF at GAA at the Garda School in Templemore, but I was so pleased to be involved in building bridges and cementing the bonds of friendship across our small island.

Huw, thank you for the background to the video. Was just watching Michael Collins last night so this and other events you mention show how music crosses all boundaries. Killaloe is simply the penultimate Irish march; we played it years ago marching off the competition circle, its a phenom tune. The dress, drill and deportment of both bands, outstanding. Again, thanks for the upload!

@huwmorgan8515 2 года назад

@@texasirish I am a proud Welshman, but you would need to have a heart of stone not to be moved by Irish music. I remember attending the disbandment parade of the Home Service Battalions of the Royal Irish Regiment in 2007 and we got up to 9 “Yo!” before the whole parade marched off! Fortunately the communities in Ireland are getting on better than ever before; I run a few Airbnb apartments and the number of guests coming up from the South is remarkable - and they are bowled over by the warmth of the reception they receive. I really agree that music brings people together and the cultural export of music from these islands continues to entertain the world. You should look to bring your band to Ireland one summer and engage in some of the band competitions over here. If you ever need kilts and regalia I can recommend my friends at Essey Musical www.esseymusical.co.uk/ Best of luck with your band and thank you for your very kind comments. Huw

@texasirish 2 года назад

@@huwmorgan8515 Huw, many thanks - and appreciate your service in the military. The lockdown here, sadly, dissolved the band ( which was in its formative stages with a few students, two veteran pipers with support from the local community ) and within a few months, I tore an abdominal muscle working in the garden which meant no piping or chanter practice for a good year; the band never recovered. The ab is healed and I'm in fighting trim and with pandemic waning here - as the Blues Brothers have stated - "were getting band back together." One of the original, future goals we had once the band reached maturity was a trip to Ireland. Thank you for the link to Essey Musical; will definitely check them out this week. Thankfully we've found a source in the states for RIR caubeens, hackles and saffron kilts at great prices. All the best to you, your family and the Air bnb biz! Lets hope '22 is a much more profitable year for all. Mick

@huwmorgan8515 2 года назад

@@texasirish Thanks Mick, I am sure that your determination will win through! Richard Douglas is the Bandmaster of the Band of the Royal Irish Regiment and I know him well. If you need any tips on uniforms, music or running a band then Richard is your man. Glad that you’re recovering and your ambitions for the band remain strong. Ireland is always great to visit so look forward to seeing you in the future. Huw

@anthonycosgrave8539 3 года назад

The new Royal Irish Regiment aka the UDR are in this. My grandfather and his brothers served with the 18th Of Foot aka The Royal Irish Regiment 1684 - 1922. For those who wonder if there is any connection between The new Royal Irish and the original Royal Irish I can tell you that there is none.

@huwmorgan8515 3 года назад

Whilst you are correct that the original Royal Irish Regiment disbanded in 1922 and the current Royal Irish Regiment, this regiment was formed in 1992 as an amalgamation of the Royal Irish Rangers and the Ulster Defence Regiment. The Home Service battalions were disbanded in 2007 at the end of Op BANNER and the regiment now consists of a Regular Battalion based in Tern Hill and a Reserve Battalion with its HQ in Lisburn. The Band of the Royal Irish is based in Kinnegar and preserves the strong tradition of Irish military music as these videos witness. The presence of the First and Deputy First Ministers at Island Bridge on 11 July 2021 shows how far we have come in recognising the shared military history across the island and the sacrifice of so many brave Irishmen across the centuries of their service. The Irish soldier shaped European and American history.

@anthonycosgrave8539 3 года назад

@@huwmorgan8515 My hometown was the depot for the 18th of foot at the time of WW1. My grandfather marched out the gate and wound up at Mons where he was wounded and spent years as a POW. I have to remind people as they do get mixed up that there is no connection between the memorial at La Bascule Crossroads and the new Royal Irish Regiment.

@huwmorgan8515 3 года назад

@@anthonycosgrave8539 it’s good to see that there is growing interest in Irish military history. Some years ago I enjoyed a battlefield study of the Battle of Aughrim with members of the Irish Army and 38 (Irish) Brigade. This was the decisive battle of the Williamite wars and the one that took place on the Twelfth of July (unlike the Battle of the Boyne!). Whilst it has never been in the media, the Defence Forces have been wonderful hosts and we have sailed together, played rugby and cricket against one another and we even played GAA - but found ourselves rather outclassed! The common bond of brotherhood remains strong amongst the uniformed service personnel across these islands and should serve as a model for the rest of society; respect, professionalism, duty and friendship.

@huwmorgan8515 3 года назад

@anthonycosgrave8539 3 года назад

@@huwmorgan8515 Thank you and I agree with your sentiments. In my case it is not a growing interest as 8 of my family served in WW1 and 3 never came home. In WW2 served and came home and even now a relation serves with the Argyll and Southern Highlanders. My father brothers and I were all members of the Irish Defence Forces and always had a sense of pride and satisfaction in carrying out our duties.

@For god and Ulster it was a sort of conference I think something about emergency services

@avatarcayo5293 3 года назад

@For god and Ulster Well, it could have been British individuals in Ireland, or Irish thinking they were from the Irish army because they were a piper uniform similar to the RIR and no union jack, though that is just my perception as an American looking inward

@avatarcayo5293 3 года назад

@For god and Ulster yeah it could be something like that, but I would have thought that the Nationalist in NI would despise the RIR, though I thought that they were mostly a general service unit for service around the world, I thought the NI police dealt the most with security, especially after the Home Service battalions were disbanded.

@avatarcayo5293 3 года назад

@For god and Ulster Thanks for the history, the RIR is one of my favorite regiments in the British Army, and also it is also one of the reasons the the British regimental system works so well, which created several unique entities, though I think that in some ways the RIR is also protecting the RI, through some of the mutual defense treaties between the RI and UK

@avatarcayo5293 3 года назад

@For god and Ulster interesting, I haven't really spoken with any Ulster individuals, however self governance in the RI, I'm not sure whether the Republic will allow that, however I am looking inside from an ocean away and the only blood I have from the isles is welsh, though I as an American probably would have preferred it RI was British again, though that is unlikely

@huwmorgan8515 2 года назад

Actually the No 1 Band of the Defence Forces have played in the U.K. I was fortunate enough to be at Enniskillen Castle on 12 Sep 16 when they played alongside The Band of the Royal Irish. m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/northern-ireland/british-and-irish-army-bands-in-harmony-as-they-join-to-salute-fallen-35040152.html Sorry to pop your balloon but soldiers tend to get along very well whatever country they come from and military music is a shared tradition in Ireland. The only limitations imposed upon where the band plays come from the DFA. Wouldn’t it be great if the played at the Royal Military Tattoo in Edinburgh in front of a worldwide audience?
