Taylor Swift's 'Shake It Off' with Roy Wulf on Bagpipes and Ciara Gallagher on Drums

Not intended as great bagpiping but rather as a sort of bagpiping stunt, this quirky performance was part of a Taylor Swift themed 'Coffee House' at St. Paul VI Catholic High School in Virginia on November 2, 2023. Roy Wulf is on bagpipes, and Ciara Gallagher is on drums. Sorry that the faces of the performers are obscured from the angle the video was taken!

So glad you enjoyed this Taylor Swift song as it was properly meant to be performed ... on the bagpipes! :)

@@mr.roywulf And his rendition of the bridge! I still clearly remember hearing it for the first time in the music room before the concert 😂

@@theteardropontaylorsguitar Next year at this concert, I plan to perform a lesser-known Taylor Swift song called 'Teardrops on my Bagpipes".

OMG!

'Shake It Off' as you have never heard it before! :)

Bravo Roy and your fellow companion too, it’s good to see that bagpipes is seen as a beautiful instrument of Scottish heritage and not as noisy as some people might think

[@mr.roywulf]

Yes, but I made sure to mention that this song was played as a stunt. Some songs are not intended to be played on the bagpipes, and this is one of them! :)

Good news I finally got the summer dress jumper earlier than I expected the medal buttons are hard to deal with and I’m worried about it getting dirty Amy ideas for the cleaning the jumper situation thanks Trev the mariner

@@Ruz-T Hi Trev -- I'm not sure exactly what you are dealing with, but if you ever have metal buttons to polish on a uniform, it is possible to cut a slit in a piece of cardboard and put it behind the button when you polish it so you don't get metal polish on the cloth. I use the product 'GunBrite' which is for polishing guns, but it really works for almost any metal. For wool uniforms, try spot cleaning with cold water or, if you must, wash in cold water and air dry. Don't use hot water and don't put wool in the dryer. That makes the wool shrink. I hope that's helpful!

I forgot to tell you it’s made of canvas
