Just found this one on Google Video and wanted to share:

Nice beat IMO. :laughing:

Thatā€™s sort of goofyā€¦ :laughing:

That was four different reels. Where did they find a GHP piper with so large a repertoire?! :boggle:

Darn. Sometimes I canā€™t get those Quicktime movies. Finally one comes along that sounds funny, and yep, itā€™s one I canā€™t get. Oh well, Iā€™ll live. I also need to do the dishes. :laughing:

Bagpipes and a djembe ā€¦ definitely my neck of the woods.

I wish some of our lot could dance anywhere near as good as that blokeā€¦

Letā€™s rephrase that.

I wish some of our lot could danceā€¦

I wish some of our lot couldā€¦

I wish some of our lotā€¦

THE HORROR! THE HORROR!

WHISKEY! Ahhhhhhhhh thatā€™s better! :thumbsup:

I have to say, thatā€™s one of the best trad/modern fusions Iā€™ve heard. The drummers seemed to actually have some lilt and feel for the melodies. Most ā€œcelt-rockā€ I hear doesnā€™t work as well for me, maybe ScotsFunk is a more natural fit?

Looked and sounded more like a dumbek to meā€¦

Ouch!

Canā€™t have been a dumbek - it didnā€™t sound like a Kalishnakov.

Up the voltage a bit, add some funky bass, and it might sound like Bad Haggis.

I was looking for the link to that addicting ā€œBash The Haggisā€ game and found this thread.

Sorry to disappoint you, Bloomfield, but there were only 3 reels there: The Congress Reel, Kelseyā€™s Wee Reel, and Sleepy Maggie. Still, not bad for a Highland piper. Oddly, there are many of us who know more than a few jigs and reels. :wink:

Reminds me of some of Ashley MacIsaacā€™s stuff

Thatā€™s just so wrongā€¦ :sniffle:

Iā€™ve seen odder. Thereā€™s a pipe band in NJ called MAG 7ā€“itā€™s part of the Bergan County Firefighters Pipes and Drums. They do that kind of thing only more over the top. They play a rendition of ā€œI wanna be sedatedā€ and itā€™s so screwed up, itā€™s funny. The first time I saw them perform, one of their heavier pipers was stepdancing to it. Last nov. I saw them perform at a tatoo and they were in full haloween regaliaā€“Iā€™ve never seen anything quite like it. They have a classic trad repitoir they play as well and theyā€™re actually pretty good, so far as I can to. And theyā€™re pretty successful at exciting the audience, at least at the three tatoos I saw them perform at, they received a standing ovation.
