[@JM-dd4el]

This is fucking awesome. Nostalgia hit hard. Reminds me of my old man. I remember when I was a pup he had Braveheart on a double VHS pack and it was one of his favorite movies, so it became and still is one of mine.

Thank you for performance! It was pleasure to see you and listen!

[@Canuckmom128]

I’m sure the friends and family of your friend were so pleased to have you attend and play at this funeral. We had a (Scottish) Piper at my Dad’s funeral (he would have haunted us if we didn’t 😅) and he played so well. It was so fitting. I adore the Uilleann pipes. So poignant, and you are such a maestro with them. Lovely.

[@melwilmoth]

My wife can trace her ancestry back to William Wallace, she is 95% Scottish. Mary Armstrong Wallace was her great 3 times grandmother

WTF what a guy to play the song like that. beautiful. talent

[@clintonreiler2627]

Holy crap I got chills. "Outlawed tunes on out lawed pipes".

[@andrewwigglesworth3030]

What are you fantasising about here? The Union Pipes (later renamed "Uilleann pipes") were never "outlawed" and nor was the music played on them. These pipes developed from earlier Pastoral Pipes by makers in England, Scotland and Ireland and were at no stage banned or outlawed. The crimes of the British Empire in it's colonies (I'm referring to Ireland being the colony) were many and cruel, you don't have to go around making stuff up.

[@clintonreiler2627]

@@andrewwigglesworth3030 wasn't really intended to offend anyone just had a flash back of the movie "Brave Heart" when they played the bag pipes

[@clintonreiler2627]

So funny how people read stuff an misinterpt the meaning a feeling of what was behind the comment.

[@andrewwigglesworth3030]

​@@clintonreiler2627 What "feeling of what was behind the comment" did I "misinterpret"? The Great Highland Bagpipes and its music were not banned either. There were no "Outlawed tunes on out lawed pipes" ... and that particular myth is about a civil war that happened around 340 years later.
