Always love to hear Highland Laddie on the pipes!

What’s the plastic screen for infront of the drums

He was Hendrix of the Pipes. Not only one of the best players and composers, he pushed the boundaries of what the instrument could be made to do.

Didn Walter comefrom the MacMinn piping family

That’s my cousin lol 😊

I'm looking for Alan Newbold he was a side drummer

Absolutely phenomenal 💪💪💪

BD looks lost walking sideways....

I played with Gordon in Dougie McLeans band in the late 80s and it was a pleasure to share stages with him. A real gentleman and a genius, as humble as they come also. RIP Gordon, you will be sorely missed forever.

Great piping, first time I’ve head Madam Bonaparte on the big pipes……many thanks

Sounds like hes playing guitar

Perfection. Well done. The torch is passed and the legacy is secure.

The best .....😁

Boghall and Bathgate Caledonia won the competition. I rem Highland Wedding Ewe wi the crooked horn i cant rem the reel.

Effortless and flawless. Saw him a few times. Always electric. Sadly missed but the music and these videos are eternal.

Gordon Duncan What a remarkable talented young man. Thank fully theres more people here with access to see the brilliance of this Gentleman and his musical prowess.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Nicely played !

Terrible recording done on the equipment of the day.I remember Mount Carmel Pipe band very well. They lifted all the prizes at competitions, in the south and east of England, during the 1970s. Always distinctive with the tips of the tails on the black feather bonnets bleached white; the only band to do this. The long hair was fairly typical of that era and the bands were invariably all male.

What’s the tune at 1:55?

Cool video - not having a go, but 1st place even with the early squawk?

2:29 - 4:41

Viva Britannia on D,VE & VJ Days

I love this stuff.. I remember the Wirral Pipe Band around it's formation, walking around the cricket field at the top of Cadburys in Moreton. I work in the last bastion of Cadburys up here in cakes.. Them bagpipes reflect the lament of anyone who remembers this place, when it was the place to work.. Believe me, now it isn't

The Lucky Luke of the bagpipe.

Lol ok so I’m not the only one desecrating a drum stick to tie on a stock…

Fiddlers Rally is such an awesome tune. OK it's got eight separate parts with no repeats, but so do many other Pipe tunes. I've played it now for many years and the parts are not hard to remember, if you practice. But I do have to admit that Duncan Johnston plays it splendidly!!

Could someone please tell me where the band now meets?

Don Drummer Let mi tell ya, BIG UP JIMMY BROWN (UB40)

Gordon was,nt one of the greatest He was the greatest

Nicely done! I am trying to learn this piece too….

You got it tilted the wrong way

Yes

He changed the face of piping forever. His compositions are already standard tunes in any session. I was devastated when he tragically took his own life. An inspiration and by all accounts just a really nice guy.

I agree - a sweet tune, and well played.

Absolutely brilliant 👏

You have grade 4, 3, 2, 1 then you have Gordan Duncan, whenever i tell people about him i always say, he was like the elvis pressley of the piping world, a man who changed everything but also a gentleman a lovely down to earth guy who is missed by so so many, the Gordan Duncan documentary on you tube is great. His spirit will live on forever for as long as there is one man or woman who plays the pipes we will always remember one of our own, his spirirt lives on in all of us whenever we pick up our pipes ☮️❤️🎶🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🕉

Love it

Thank you! That was wonderful!

Memories!! I used to play this set with you. Only then it was Green Hills, Battles O'er, my own land. Great to see Don and John still playing!

Joel kimball

Such a shame that you fell out.....I was a fan from the beginning...remember the cov appollo..in 82 I think!!...Great gig...and again so sad you've split...and the deaths of key parts of the band.😢

Cats in the well the wolve is looking down×

What was the name of the first tune? I learned the A part from a piping demo 28 years ago but never complete or its name.
