What a great band! Every musician in the band is exceptional, but being a drummer, I am of course attracted to the drums. And this drummer is great! When someone is so solid and confident, you can't help but notice (as the camera operator does). He guides and steers the entire band, and check out his perfect posture at the kit!

[@timelliot9110]

There's lots of times you see the drummer grinning like he's enjoying himself!

Eine super Band! Der Sänger hat eine wunderbare Stimme und der Drummer ist so toll! Der spielt mit einer Freude, die steckt einem an! Toll, ganz toll!

[@stevedable]

In one word, bloody nice! Thanks

[@robertsotelo4973]

64,000 views and only 465 likes? That's just wrong. Great band.

[@MrOllieBD]

I think people get so taken in by the music, they forget about all things commercial-related. How nice.

[@NoName-qr5jg]

I agree but I'll put a like @@MrOllieBD

[@j9randall]

Wow! Fantastic!

[@falconpro01si72]

My most favourite song!

[@jennymo4122]

I was there for this one! Absolutely superb set!

[@NoName-qr5jg]

I don't understand a word of what they say, but they do know the language of the music ! Very very good !

[@nancyullrich5447]

Best Pipers Ever!! I usually don't like the bagpipes, but Skipinnish changed my mind!! ❤ So magnificent and mesmerizing! The whole band!!

[@anthonyread4635]

[@Wob59dk]

Super groupe que j'ai découvert au festival Het Lindeboom 2018 en France !

[@BZ-si6st]

I’ve listen to bands in concert like the Tannahill Weavers, Solas, Battlefield Band, Dervish, Lunasa to name a few. This group has a sound all their own. Fantastic!

[@Robbyrocklegend]

Thanks. You are amazing! Greetings from Baia Mare Romania!💟💟💟

[@gerhardvollmer6669]

Great just great I like it

[@onlinemusiclessonsadamphil4677]

Gle mhath ceol!! Awesome

[@caroleknappsmith9010]

The fellow on the violin must have been exhausted after playing The Hag. WOW

[@robmacdonald7004]

How do they keep up this energy, after 4 days of it? They must have been keeping a really low profile at the sessions.

[@peterbrennan4242]

Irn Bru by the gallon,I reckon. Great stuff.

[@jennifermiller7139]

How did you come up with the name Skippinish? Love your songs.

[@ChrisJohnson-pd4hh]

Lay off the drummer! A lively band needs a good drum beat. People even used to criticise the great Mr. Richard Starkey (Ringo). - Chriso.

[@robmacdonald7004]

My only comments on the music are all about the mix. Too much drum kit. It was hard to hear the vocals at times. Too often! The fiddle was fine. Same level as the vocals, right where it should be. And hard to hear, almost as often. More accordian! Overall, rock and reel at its finest!

[@andrewccochrane8052]

rob every band has their own style you dampen down the drumming here then you dampen down the style perhaps their style doesnt suit you thats a pity mate

[@andrewccochrane8052]

shuuddup man you have not a clue about modern folk music its all rock based you need the high decibles from the kit to drive the bands rythm the vocals are pitched at a certain level so it does not overide the instruments phasing in on some songs or tunes if you need any help with your music directions ask me i do it for a living

[@tdbsnr]

Great set! Ditch the drumming, crude, dull, overbearing, unnecessary.

[@kmcb]

Clearly hasn't got a clue this person...^^^ drumming is part of it and makes the band what it is today.. great!!!

[@ronbr1000]

Totally disagree mate. Essential component.
