My hat is off to these brave men. Great music!!!! The pipes are SO powerful and special....................... Here is West Virginia we have a group of pipers. They too are special...............
My ancestors were all pipers from Ireland and some emigrated to America and Canada. My heart swells with pride when I hear the pipes and see the swirling kilts.
Gary Owen, one of my favourite Pipe tunes, well played by the NYPD Emerald Society Pipes and Drums wearing a mix of mostly Scottish and British Army uniforms. Greetings from a U.K. piper🇬🇧
I wish everyday was saint Patty's day there's nothing like it to come down and watch the parade listen to the big pipe music and then go out to your famous pub and have a wonderful dinner and drinks this is the real American way when people enjoy 🇺🇸🇮🇪🏴💯👍🍀🎶
Beannachtaí na Feile Phadraig. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all. There were many variations of bagpipe that developed in Ireland, Scotland, France, Brittany, Italy, Bulgaria, Greece, Eqypt, Germany, Sweden and MANY others. The bagpipes played here are called the "Great Highland Bagpipe". The GHB was developed in Scotland to what you see today, but the music here is Irish, played by people likely of Irish heritage...so Irish it is. The kilt itself is also of Scottish origin, but the NYPD blue w gold fringe which is unique and has become part of the Irish-American tradition for the "Boys in Blue". Síochán...Peace
A great great organization New York's finest we have the best police in the country I'm a former New Yorker but my heart will always remain there too bad your governor and mare loses
Well there's no arguing that the kilt originated in Scotland, but it evolved from the Irish léine and they were later adopted by the Irish, Irish kilts are usually a solid colour not a tartan but there are now national and county tartans of Ireland, while in Scotland they are family tartans and the Highland pipes come from the great Irish war pipes which only fell out of use in Ireland due to the instrument being outlawed by the British government, leading to the invention of the modern Irish pipe the uilleann pipes in Ireland.
ricemango ok Irish kilts are a bit different and we were the first ones to invent bagpipes and then it ye. Also wales they look a bit similar to yers but still different. Dinnea believe that ye invented them. If ye search it up on google then dinnea believe so shut yer mouth. What’s next ye invented haggis. Ireland did invented a lot of stuff and built in Scotland because well I dinnea ken I haven’t researched it. We invented a lot of stuff like football but England took that away how do we know we have the first football and the game and played the game. Someone told me it was made out of pig but do I believe that not really but it could be true. Football is Scottish. Rugby is too. We invented golf. We invented the new year song auld Lang syne. We invented rugby also but rugby I do not know so aye. We have the tallest mountain in the uk and Ireland. We are the manliest country and ye should know it. We have more gingers and that is true. We invented the flushing toilet. We defeated England in 14 something but we did so ye dinnea lose ye country and ours ye know why because we are brave and still are in the war. But that war back in 14? Is over. And then it’s the french revelation and Scotland were the best men. The king said it. Napoleon was a good man to his people and very strong in power. But sadly but good we defeated them but that was Britain and us and wales also England. And the ww1 and ww2. So next time be careful what ye research pal or lad or lass
@@ricemango7502 The leine is a long shirt!!! Have you ever actually seen a leine before! The kilt was NEVER a shirt!!! It was a belted plaid the direct translation is the belted blankets! Highlanders basically belted their blankets around their body!! What a stupid comment!!
@@drrd4127 The pipes were also played in the Basque region and made there way to Ireland that way.....the Romans and alot was written about them show no connection with pipes .
St Patrick’s Day! Marvellous! Pipes n Drums all dressed in Scottish Highland attire and tartan? Not a swatch of plain saffron kilts or caubeen headdress. Which is Irish! 🤣🤣🤣
There were many variations of bagpipe in Ireland, Scotland, France, Brittany, Italy, Germany and Sweden among others. The particular type of bagpipe used by parade pipe bands is called the "Great Highland Bagpipe". The GHB was developed in Scotland to what you see today, but the music here is Irish, played by people likely largely of Irish heritage.
AxionXIII different types of bagpipes are found throughout the world, even as far away as East Asia. And by the way, only Highlanders are descendants of the Irish, the country they established went on to join with Pictish and Brythonic kingdoms in the South and East of what is now Scotland to create what is now, well, Scotland
"The likes of us will never be seen again". Stolen from the Tactical Patrol Force (TPF), but I don't think they will mind, as it is true. As much as I loved it, the day of the Irish Cop in NYC is over. Welcome to the age of the overweight 'baby mama".
It is an uncontestable fact of History that (1) the Scottish highlands were invaded and inhabited by Irish refugees from the island, (2) the Scottish pipes were brought to Scotland by the Irish refugees there, while the Scots native, 'national' instrument was the harp, and (3) the whole 'official' history of the Highlands was a mythology created by brothers Allen, aka Hay, a couple of pretentious fantasists. The kilt itself was the creation of an English wood cutter. For more, see "The invention of tradition", edited by Hobsbawm.
And it is also known that the pipes were introduced to the micks by Eric the Viking when he invaded and was King of Dublin. The micks never invented anything apart from Whiskey
Why are the pipers all wearing Scottish rig and playing Scottish pipes to Scottish tunes? But I can tell you, St Patrick was a Brit, he was in no way, shape or form, a mick
Kek, indeed. I have a yank buiness colleague who enjoyed proclaiming her irishness, she did not even know that St PAtrick was a Brit!! Her surname is McAllister and she asked an irish mate of ine why she could not find her "irish coat of arms" He told her that her name was the clue, she was Scottish! Shocked the bitch to the core
@@JimWalsh-rl5dj Nah, absolutely not Anglo. He was Romano-British; His parents were likely Romans and he himself was born in the tail end of the 4th century AD. Patrick was captured by Irish slavers that landed in Wales and that's how he wound up where he did.
Mocha Well you would think they were scottish americans scottish instruments scottish tradition dress scottish tunes.The irish bagpipes the uilleann pipes are a much superior instrument to those scottish pipes
This is a Scottish version of the Bagpipe called the Great Highland Bagpipes. The Great Highland Bagpipes are the only Bagpipe with 3 drones so yes, these Bagpipes are Scottish. The Irish Bagpipes are different.
That's not Scottish Highlander apparel, traditionally Scottish kilts have tartans but now every Celtic country now has tartans and even kilts including Wales and Brittany, but the kilts these men are wearing are traditional Irish kilts, they are one solid colour they're just wearing the colour of the nypd as they are an nypd band.
@@ricemango7502 they are NOT traditional! The saffron kilt was made in Ireland in recent times by a Irish man who happened to like kilts, he tried to make it Irish and promote the "Celtic revival", to be very blunt the kilt never took off culturally in Ireland.
Ireland brought the pipes to the States because of a firefighter tradition that they have. Scotland had the first organized fire brigade. Just wanted you to understand why it has something to do with Ireland!
I find this totally a joke. The pipers are wearing Scottish dress, Scottish pipes playing Scottish tunes. How stupi are the plastic mick filth in the USA?
I love the way you were so annoyed by this video that you came back a year later to comment again, Highland pipes originated in Ireland from the great Irish war pipes, the kilt evolved from the Irish léine and there is evidence of it being worn in Ireland since the 1700s and the tunes are all Irish. What are you gonna do huh, cry and winge again like a little baby?
@ricemango7502 if everything you say is correct then why don't they play the "Great Irish War Pipes or wear the so called Irish Kilt? Instead of wearing the Scottish ones? Just curious...
