Albannach - Edinburgh Festival Fringe

[@bry2411]

Have you ever heard and seen something so beautiful you get tears in your eyes and the hairs on the back of your neck stand up at the same time?....Well, Albannach is it

[@diannajohnsen2117]

First time I was in Edinburgh, coincidently the Fringe Festival was on & while walking down a street was drawn to the sound of the drums & happened upon Albannach. Stayed for the whole performance. There is something primal about their music & the way they play. A video doesn't really do them justice as they are so loud. I love them. Have a couple of their CD's.

[@soundadvicesomewhere9027]

I have seen this band 4 times - Exceptional Music to stir the Soul! Long Live Scotland!!

[@Timetravel1111]

Wow yes they are upbeat and rock!

[@Timetravel1111]

Makes me what to go to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and not come back where do you live.

[@outlawmonk68]

They are incredible in person. The rhythms are haunting and so powerful!

[@urszulawenda-bortnik334]

Ach ,serce się raduje piękne byłam w Szkocji widziałam na własne oczy dbają o swoją kulturę!

[@dewithistle910]

I absolutely adore this lot! 💙 Their music and energy are phenomenal! Can’t say how proud I am to have been born Scottish! I wouldn’t want to be any other nationality in the world, not even if I was paid a million pounds!

[@istbe1]

That Gal can swing! Love her Spirit! You GO Sister!!!

[@AlfredoJacome]

[@dustyblanchard5999]

There always a tear when I hear them because of the joy i have when I listen to them . Goose bumps every time. The intensity , the beauty ..

[@martinheretics2645]

Scotland, beautiful country, and even more beautiful people, wild spirit of Scotland :-)

[@susanlittlejohn8054]

thqnk you

[@dlr4767]

GAM!!!! Love this group! Real wild Scotties!! The guy in the center (on the double drums) how he keeps it up is amazing.

[@barrweje]

I've only recently discovered these guys on you tube. They are fantastic. Can't get enough. Must track down CD's. Also digging another Scottish Tribal Drum/Pipe band called Clanadonia.

[@Brian_R82]

Just saw them here last week in Colorado they are excellent

[@barrweje]

Awesome! Hope they come to Canada some time.

[@monikan5071]

They were in Fergus (Ontario) this summer. Hopefully they come back :)

[@barrweje]

Awesome!! Maybe they will make it to Manitoba in the future. My fingers are crossed.

[@ajaywa6551]

If your loving the Tribal Drum/Pipe, maybe give "Clann an Drumma" a play on you-tube too..!! :)

[@amysullivan2627]

The first time I seen them live! Wow, amazing, blew me away. The energy is absolutely amazing! I listen to them in my car, jamming as I'm driving down the highway. Never gets old listening to them ❤️

[@TheSentryVoid]

With this melody, I feel my roots so close to me ... that they remind me centuries ago of my existence in this beautiful place.

[@jean2479]

Albannach ROCKS! I'm mostly of Scottish heritage and this music stirs something in me!

[@equusreined]

I want to visit Scotland soon. The pipes and drums stir my soul! :)

[@mollygordon4128]

My husband and I have seen this Band in person and they are off the chart's two week's ago at the Scottish Festival in Northampton Mass. It was great and they are very nice people. Very high Energy Band. True Scot's men and Scot' women too.

[@thetimbastardocanada]

Simply incredible...stirs the soul!

[@jackiepower2439]

I love this music! Albannach rocks!

[@carolmegson9295]

The drums are downright primal!

[@lajvkatt84]

The long haired drummer makes so happy just watching

[@julierehoric6081]

They come and absolutely ROCK out Greenville SC every year at the Scottish Games Festival- they bless me EVERY single time OMG!!!

[@vickiesimp]

I would love to see them perform live,this music is amazing.

[@donnamacdonald1192]

Fabulous sound guys! Keep up the great work!

[@robertwelch9841]

awsome. albanach, clanadonia and many other groups of this genre i look forward to enjoying. learning the bagpipes is something i've always wanted to do. if i did lean my grandfather-john lemuel welch senior would be proud. may he rest in peace. i love my family and my heritage. sorry about my spelling. cutty sark has a tendency to have this effect on me. god bless you all.

[@RamkarUmmo]

¡Awesome herd of Celtic musicians! Greetings from a new Mexican fan.

[@christinehancock5995]

Ahh! The Scottish culture, the perfect representation of the dichotomy of struggle and grace. Who else is both tough enough and delicate enough to wear a kilt to battle?!

[@LowEarthOrbitPilot]

Thanks for posting this great video! Perfect location for their performance, you filmed it from a great perspective (save for the man who walked in front of the video camera several times), and THANK YOU for panning the camera around to show the surrounding architecture, for those of us who could not visit Edinburgh ~ very enjoyable! :-)

[@mifluteplaya19]

I love Albannach and I love Scotland! It will forever be my second home!

[@TheChief285]

Outstanding group. Wish we had them this month at our Pacific Northwest Highland Games in Enumclaw Washington, US.

[@cathysimpson344]

Beautiful music. I love it.

[@2fast4ucivicex]

These guys came to my middle school North Davidson Middle School in Welcome N.C and rocked the joint it was awesome! this brings back memories.

[@Greengate777]

It's no wonder these people invented whiskey... :D I need to buy that CD.

[@tonyd7014]

+George Kozi Whisky* Whiskey is Irish.

[@douglashendrix1006]

+Tony D Whiskey and Whisky is the same drink different spelling due to translations of being spelt from the Scottish and Irish Gaelic forms. :)

[@tonyd7014]

Scottish distiller's use peat, and malted barley. Irish whiskey is distilled 3 time's. Scottish usually only twice. Irish whiskey tend's to be a smoother than Scottish Whisky. That and the price difference, the best bottles of Scottish Whisky are far more expensive.

[@darcieaddison6186]

Absolutely agree, long hair and kilt, gives me the vapors, got to catch my breath.

[@megsullivan6645]

Beautiful - I do feel that way. When I get the chance finally to visit Scotland I'll probably never leave it.

[@mattr3183]

As an American of Irish, Scottish and Nordic descent, my half Mexican kids grew up listening to this music. Here in the states they're not taught about their tribal European heritage so I teach them.

[@alexandracuco6352]

i love Edinburg the most peaceful place in world i praye all days to St Margaret of Scoltand ..i dream bedore die go in Edinburg music festival

[@bubbysbub]

This is pretty awesome. I wish the recorded stuff was more like their live playing. The recorded songs tend to 'background' all that amazing drum work, and push the bagpipes forward as the main sound, which is such a shame. Live, you really get the wildness of those drums, and it is amazing.

[@PhoenixofEru]

Yep. I can totally see Bilbo dancing now...

[@bubbysbub]

[@deerslayer19586]

oh how i wish i could see then live just once. just went thru 2 back surgeries in 3 weeks the latter ebecause i was leaking spinal fluid. It feels like a scottish powow to me with the drums , my great greandma wan was annie hall of the mohwk tribe and drums have always touched my heart so. I hope thet continfor many years. they are awesome !!blessings to them all!

[@richie74wells]

Definitely sounds like something that'd happen before a rugby match, this'd really help build the atmosphere imo

[@halbarbour7805]

There is a difference between a National Heritage and an Ethnic one. Here in the US there are many people who say they are only American, but many who identify themselves as Irish American, Scottish American and so on. I am an Scottish American and can be proud of those Scots who came here to establish this Country such as James Wilson, John Paul Jones and many more. Without these great men this Country would not be here. Thank You Alba!!

[@Michael_MW]

From their website: "The Albannach tartan was designed specifically for the band and our fans, to celebrate our love of Scotland. The colours chosen for this tartan represent Scotland, herself: - The bright blue and white are for the Saltire - The muted blue is for the numerous rivers and lochs throughout Scotland - The dark purple is for the heather and the thistle - The olive green is for the rolling hills - The red is for the blood of those who fought for Scotland - The black is for those who died in the name of freedom The threads in the “Saltire” section add up to 13 and the red threads add up to 14… these “Flag and Blood” sections are 1314, the year Robert the Bruce lead at Bannockburn to re-establish Scotland’s independence."
