Pure magic. This is one of the most ancient forms of transportation, you know. Those drummers are miles away, up in the mysterious mountains and down in the hidden valleys.
I was an exchange student back in the early 90's studying at Glasgow Polytechnic (I understand it's a full University now). Didn't have the first bloody clue what I was getting myself into but, regardless of what genetic disposition I have, I came home a Scotsman. Even went out and bought a Kilt (Black Stewart) for formal occasions after returning home. Whenever I found a street musician in a park, I'd park my hind-parts there and use their music to study to. When they (or I) were done, I always made sure to throw a few Quid in their collection "box". There was a pub on Sauchiehall street near Queen's Street Station that I wish I could remember the name of but I can't for the life of me that I spent loads of time at watching SPL on the Tele on weekends. Even took in an Old Firm match at Ibrox. Watching videos of this band brings back so many memories of that wonderful place that I always considered a second home, even though I've not been there for many years. Nearing 50, going back is one of the few things I have on my bucket list. To Full Metal Haggis, thank you for the wonderful video and bringing back so many memories.
Absolutely banging! Love the guys, the SFA and SRU should sign them to play before every game at Hampden and Murrayfield - the opposition would be keeching in their shorts before they even got on the pitch!
You would think so, but sadly I am forced to constantly delete hateful and abusive comments from people who seem compelled to identify as proud british people and who are ashamed to have any Scottish identity at all.
I love this band, my imagination takes me to the battle of Bannockburn and how intimidating we must have been to our enemy. This makes me so proud of my country and heritage,
Good acoustics at that spot for some reason. Lots of good, deep bass rumbling to pump up the vibe and the highs from the snare & conga were also fully present. Dual bagpipers is something really special, so the melody was strong and interwoven with the rhythms really well. I also wonder what captured the audio track because it was darn good! My Celtic groove is on the march...
Hi, yes they chose that spot for good reasons, one of which being 3 and 4 storey buildings on each side of the pedestrianised street which do help to contain and echo the sound. Buchanan Street in Glasgow is a favourite place for street musicians for good reason. The video was recorded on my old Sony Xperia phone.
Спасибо за любовь к музыке, которая будоражит сердце и объединяет шотландскую кровь во всех нас. Пожалуйста, поделитесь и посетите Шотландию, если вы можете, вы будете очень рады.
Ach I'm well 'pumped' and 'stomped' nooh...cheers and TTFN fe Oz. You can take the Lassie oot o' Scotland but she'll carry tartan in her veins...forever!!! Alba Gu Bragh!!!
Still tryin' to find out who the sexy one is 2nd from the right ... who's apparently no longer with Clanadonia. But, I'd still like to find out who he is and what he's doing now.
Why did I waste my time watching Mel Gibson murder the Scottish accent in Braveheart & why am I still wearing trousers? Awesome music, time to buy myself a kilt👍
Buy your self a kilt and tae hek wat anybody else says it think I remember the Romans wore tunics when they invaded England and built Hadrian's wall to keep us from battering them ..lol 😂 👍👏🏴🥃
Brilliant stuff though the great drummer who is a bit short of hair on top gives me terrible flashbacks of when my dad used to get angry when I was a small kid. At around that time he was a creative comber with a fly over covering the full dome but when we had been naughty and he would get angry he would shake his head in rage revealing something of the appearance of the dude here. I’m not going to sleep tonight but thanks anyway the music is great.
