We can put those flags together. For most in Ireland we have relations who fought in world wars for Britain 🇬🇧 US 🇺🇸 and Wrapped the 🇮🇪 too. Proud of all the pipers and drummers from Ireland and their descendants who keep the spirit alive under any flag. 🇬🇧 ☘️ 🇮🇪 ☘️ 🇺🇸
@@otto4255 You didn't invent pipes they're older than Scotland itself ye deep fried Mars bar eating gobsheen. 😂😂😂 Real Gaels dont wear skirts ye bunch of shameless imposters. Goid sibh cultúr na héireann ach ní labhraíonn sibh bhur mháthair teanga Amadán. Cuireann do píobaí suas do thóin. Twat. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@otto4255 Sorry but all records would indicate that bagpipes first came to Ireland and Scotland at the same time. The first record of bagpipes in Ireland is from 1544, whereas bagpipes weren't referenced in any Scottish records until 1547. And the first record of whiskey in Ireland was allegedly referencing an event which took place in 1405. No Scottish record of whiskey would take place until 1495, during the time of James IV. Sorry to burst your bonny bubble.
Lovely, what better way to endure our lockdown in NZ, than listening to brilliant gentlemen, kiaora to all of the nation of the Emerald Isles keep safe an well. Oops my favourite melody is played Killaloe👍🥰👍🥰
Mike Embleton no, he's 152 Regiment North Irish RLC, they to like the Liverpool gunners have the blue / red hackle. It's the RLC embrasioned cap badge on the caubeen.
The original concept of bagpipes comes from elsewhere, possibly Egypt, but bagpipes have been adopted and adapted by Scotland to what you see here, where the bag is inflated by mouth. Ireland is usually associated with the “uilleann pipes which are played on the knee using the elbows to draw in the air. However, the Irish also used pipes similar to those shown here, and are on record for using them in a war context as far back as 1588. The first association of Ireland with bagpipes is actually in 1206. Basically, although these pipes are more commonly associated with Scotland, they are just as much a part of Irish history and culture.
@@iansoutryer3189 The Guards have about forty percent who had Irish descent or who are from the Republic but this regiment a lot less. Neither has a majority and most are now as the man mentioned Protestant Squatters who hate being called Irish in real life in any of the so-called Irish regiments.
@@rapier1954 You appear to be, yet another hate filled ill-informed halfwit. The real squatters in Ireland was the invasion by the Catholic church. There where people living in Ireland before that religion and other religions were invented. If you are born in Ireland, then you are Irish regardless of what part of Ireland one is born in so get over it. Just one question, what should be done about what you call Protestant Squatters
@@rapier1954the Irish Guards are currently about 10% from The Republic. Moving in piping circles myself I've met quite a few ex-Guards pipers and none have had even the remotest link to Ireland. Like you said, most of its current membership loathe the Irish.
@@MrBagpipes If you consider parents and grandparents who came from the Republic that percentage rises a lot.. Point is there has always been recruiting of people from across Ireland not just NI - do you deny that? Harder times in the Republic more apply etc. and more get in often because someone in their family served before.
