I Guess That's Why They Call it the Blues | The Bands of HM Royal Marines

[@marceldiseraad9977]

Everything in this video is stunning… the orchestra, the two vocalists (beautiful voice she has) the sax solist, and for me as trumpet player especially the screaming trumpet section at 2:51 in one word Wow….so high and accurate. Outstanding!

[@rmaphotoweb]

Yes but it’s a shame you can’t get it all on Spotify

[@marceldiseraad9977]

You can record it from KZbin and play it as often as possible 😊

[@jawahardeshmukh5165]

Corporal Sam McIndoe, you are truly & irresistibly talented, Ma'am. I simply can't resist listening to you again & again!!

[@LowellParrish-u3o]

Still beautiful. Everytime I hear this, I am reminded how magical this band is. Great due.

[@russefrance4869]

And....when they're not doing this, they're at university studying for a degree in music..or a masters while practising two or three instruments to perfection plus 10...or on operations driving ambulances, fire trucks or logistics vehicles. Stunningly well qualified musicians, brilliant at what they do. As a Brit, I am so proud of them.

[@tomwainwright7102]

Yet another example of some of best musicians in the world that we have here in the UK

[@windforc]

They are stunning…and love to watch them….I fell in „love“ with Sam.Greetings from Germany

[@jamiepeters5512]

These two have great voices, really complinent each other. Just love listening to Sam when she sings Solo, she is amazing. So are the rest of the Royal Marines Band. Have my Great Uncle's to thank for my love of the Royal Marines as they both served with them. RIP Uncle Ron.

[@quakethedoombringer]

Yeah, both singers has that clean Disney Prince/Princess voice, which really compliments each other

[@LowellParrish-u3o]

Beautiful and powerful music.

[@johnsherred4530]

She has one of the greatest hits in the world

[@kobusdutoitbosman6240]

The band members and Conductor have a superb participating presence making the entire experience great fun and top notch entertainment THANK YOU KINDLY‼️🥂🔥 🪖

[@peterivarsson6819]

This song is absolutely amazing and is performed in an absolutely phenomenal way by the orchestra along with the two singers. The sense of melancholy I feel that currently sets the tone for my grief of my lost daughter of four years. I shed a few tears and start to look again several times. You guys are doing it so beautifully. Thank you!

[@erikboje460]

2 voices togethers, fantastic, sax super, band awsome.

[@jaapvanderlaan7468]

As a retired Dutch naval officer, fan of military bands and music, this is so good. As we say on the fleet, Bravo Zulu (well done).

[@stuartmccall5474]

As a retired Dutch Naval Officer, have you noticed that Marine Sam McIndoe has "excused white belt". Yes, she was heavily pregnant at the time of this concert!.

[@jaapvanderlaan7468]

@@stuartmccall5474 Yes, I noticed the missing belt, but I did not notice she was singing a duet. Nevertheless, brilliant.

[@jaapvanderlaan7468]

@@stuartmccall5474 Let the little one grow up and join the navy, filling up the crew-list as a marine or sailor whatever the gender may be. Spent many periods on HMS Mercury and Dryad for scholing, even more month as a submariner in Portsmouth and Faslane. Since than the UK has my interest. The Mountbatten Festivals of Music are highlights in military music and You Tube gives me the opportunity to watch and enjoy. Trooping the Colour, Remembrance day in the Royal Albert Hall and the around the Cenotaph must give you a feeling of proud. In the Netherlands we do not have these events the way you have. So, the BBC is often my TV-station.

[@LowellParrish-u3o]

Beautiful music together.

Superb and Supreme!

[@QClubs]

Wonderful presentation

[@billwilkinson4012]

Have watched several of this couple with RM band, also the bands' more serious and ceremonial performances, simply shows how accomplished and versatile these guys are. This is true throughout all our armed forces. Must also remember that in the battlefield these guys display same duties as others and are often used as battlefield stretcher bearers. Salute them all, along with all military personnel. Read yesterday where govt is looking for further defence cuts, truly disastrous. Whether you like it or not we need a strong military presence. Those who argue against this are always the first to moan when threatened. Shame we do not have the same pride in those who lay down their lives for us as the Americans. Britain needs to stop apologising for the past and be proud. To all of you who condemn us for being racist and that there is so much wrong and unfair about this country why do you come and keep coming in your droves here? No other country is as tolerant nor ready with handouts. Do not see you heading for China etc. If you don't like us don't come, if you're here already and unhappy then hand back your benefits an clear off. Without funding you my taxes would help fund a stronger defence force.

[@michaelbright9162]

I wish I had found these videos before now.

[@quakethedoombringer]

I like how when George (the male vocalist) says "I simply love you", he immediately turned to Sam (the female vocalist), who was clearly smiling at him in return

[@markschneider4472]

She is married with 2 kids

[@batteryexpress9584]

Excelente interpretación de un clásico!!

[@tightcamper]

I suspect you have to be not only an accomplished musician but also a well developed all round person to join. There must be some very bright people running this band. We don't see it but I bet behind the scenes are teams of administrators, tailors, cobblers, sound engineers and instrument technicians.

Great Sam From Milan Italy

[@italienreisender8557]

Is it true, the Band Leader ist a Coulor Sergant? In German Bundeswehr the Leader of an music formation like this, is a Lieutenant Colonel. Only a captain as an acting leader.

[@alansimpson596]

I think you are confusing the leader of an orchestra/band with the conductor. In a non-military orchestra the leader is usually a senior violinist. In the military, the conductor will certainly be of officer rank.

[@stuartmccall5474]

Hi, The very top man in the Royal Marines School of Music is a Lt Col, but whilst also being a musician his role is administrative behind the scenes running the five Royal Marine Bands. The conductor here is a Major, but I have seen Captains conduct smaller Bands. The Colour Sergeant mentioned in the title credit is the Bandsman who actually wrote the arrangement for the rest of the Band. The Col Sgt's and WO's in the Band are the ones wearing the red sashes. I think you might be surprised at just how musically accomplished these NCO's are. Sam, (the vocalist) is now a Corporal (Cpl) and she is wearing her Operational Service Medal for Afghanistan. RM Bandsmen, as Royal Marines, have other "operational duties" in support of the front line as casualty-evac personnel, and are trained to operate Nuclear Radiation/ Chemical de-Contamination Stations. So, she is not just a pretty face.

[@italienreisender8557]

@@stuartmccall5474 Thank you for the information. There are five bands in the Royal Marines Music Corps? I did not finde a german translation for red sashes. Is it a red tuxedo? I never would think, that a royal marine is only a pretty face. But in German Bundeswehr the musicans are normaly NCOs. Also trained as medican or riffle man (light infantry). In Germany Decontamination is a several part of the Army.

They are the Band's String Section. The harpist, if included, is similarly attired.

[@sdavey10]

Incredible! Move over Elton John.....

[@bluebell2267]

Why is the woman not wearing a belt?

[@stuartmccall5474]

Isn't it obvious?? She is "excused belt" as during this performance she was heavily pregnant. Special uniform tunic for the baby bump.

[@kevinlee1424]

Sam's Pregnant

[@markzzsmith]

@@kevinlee1424 I listened to the Elton John group of songs that the Royal Marines played, but this was not part of it. I do not see a festival where Sam is pregnant. Did they remove this song from the long festival videos on KZbin? Also, Stairway to Heaven. What festival year?

[@ilmelangolo]

moscissima...

Wondered that, why no belt?

Yes, you can see when she is side-on to the camera that her tunic is hanging on the bump ☺
