Pathetic. The men who died for Irish freedom have been betrayed by their descendants who have given Ireland away to migrants and globalists. I spit in the face of any modern day Irishman. Weak pathetic cowards.

respect

I wasn’t expecting the bagpipes. Tingles. ❤️❤️❤️

The Brits playing an Irish patriot song.......to hell with that. And, Irishmen who fought in the British Army were traitors to their country.

Yes absolutely beautiful, many tears listening to this.

🇾🇪thank you ❤

From Wexford in Ireland, thank you, that was beautiful!

Google dance

❤

Superb, the pipes and drums strike up, i am in tears.

Jings! This stirs the soul.

Lovely dancers. Very pacey though......the ould pacemaker would need to fully charged to keep up with those boys and girls

The minstrel boy is the most popular song in Irish music history on the bagpipes and I could play it on my own bagpipes

Maks me want to run out and fight for my country. If I had a country.

Clearly the meaning of the song has been lost. British regiments using an Irish rebel song is beyond a joke.

Brilliant Performance Guys Well Done

The great Martin Connolly passed away on 2nd July 2021, May he rest in peace.

fun fact: this was performed by both Óglaigh na hÉireann (the Irish army) and the Royal Irish Regiment of the British Army.

My friends my ceili band n n miss carrie n carmel it killed me n carries da pat lost more since but colmcilles cce we go on

Ironic that a British military band is performing an Irish rebel song.

After the American Civil War a US author added a 3rd verse: The Minstrel Boy will return one day, when we hear the news we all will cheer it. The Minstrel Boy will return we pray torn perhaps in body not in spirit. Then May he play his harp in peace. In a world such as Heaven intended. For all the wars of man must cease And every battle must be ended. 🇺🇸🇮🇪🇬🇧

This song always brings me to tears remembering my friends who went down in Vietnam. Both my brothers are DAV, one is one is 100% and was an army medic. My father died in a VA hospital.

Nothing says more Irish than the British army.

I'm not even Irish or Scottish but damn the culture of Irish and Scottish I loved learning in school and now in my college days and life ! Bag pipes have a special place in my heart along with the drums !

Reunite Ireland. Stronger together. 🇮🇪🇬🇧

Never used to such devastating effect than as the credits music to Blackhawk Down.

Brilliant.

I've marched along to this many times on the way to mount guard at Buckingham Palace

such a beautiful rendition. Makes me proud

I wanted to know what song was so important to Obrien in star trek tng. Epic.

Erin go bragh

Superb

I love the pomp and circumstance. Wonderful musical 📯 instruments, 🔔 harps🥁, flutes, etc. As always very moving. 💁 Well Done!

I always think of "The Man Who Would Be King".

I love this song a lot and I love it because I am part Irish because my last name Dolan means dark haired Irish man and I also love this song because I play it on the base drum in a pipe and drum band that is named after the famous famous brave and mighty and heroic and glorious and fantastic and fierce and stunning and stupendous and legendary and honorable and honored black watch which Is a British Canadian and Scottish infantry regiment and its currently the 3rd battalion of the royal regiment of Scotland

"The Minstrel Boy to the war is gone In the ranks of deadh you will find him; His father's sword he hath girded on, and his wild harp slung behind him. 'Land of Song' ! said the warrior bard, 'Tho' all the world betrays thee, one sword at least, thy rights shall geard, one faithful harp shall praise thee!"

An Irish tune about Irish patriots who fought for their countries freedom from Britain played by British soldiers.

As a gentleman in these comments has said It is a dirge not a theatre Pipes only I commend you to the Count John Mccormack version on youtube It also leads the music by the Brigade of Guards on remembrance sunday Buried a few comrades to it regrettably Norman RUC 1982

What is this crap...I want the Black Hawk Down version...not the happy, obnoxious version.... End Times.

The Irish Gusrds and the Royal Irish play a fine tune I served in the 27th , 87th , 89th, The Royal Irish Rangers all loyal Irish sons of the crown.

There is no greater example of imperialist victory over the Irish than this song being used to entertain tories in the Albert Hall. It's akin to the Americans naming their combat helicopters after subjugated peoples. Or using this very song in their propaganda movies.

IRA = the personification of terror.

Fantastic !!!!!! A Yank from Cork

Outstanding clip. This is absolutely brilliant.

The brass section totally destroy this piece. Piss the brass off and stick with the pipes and drums as it is meant to be.

This tune shouldn't really be played as a typical march. It's a lament, a dirge, and should be treated the same as Chopin's Funeral March, in slow time.

Heroic

Nice

my twin sister and i sang this beautiful song in the mid 50s at our primary school, wombwell kings road xx
