I'm feeling my Celtic roots tonight

[Xipe Totec]

Post your favorite music on this thread.

With one caveat; it has to include at least one bagpipe.

And if it happens to be NOT from the British Isles, you get extra points!

PS: But if Great Britain is your preference, post that too!

1. Feeling your Celtic root leads to hairy palms...

or so the rumor goes.

[Xipe Totec]

4. Updated link; try again

and shave your palms!

[LeftyFingerPop]

2. Unfortunately...

I had to spend a night in jail once for feeling my Celtic Root...oh...wait....nevermind...sorry.

[Xipe Totec]

3. Don't dig too deep

you don't want a bald patch down there :scared:

[LeftyFingerPop]

8. Don't worry...

It's no big thing. :evilgrin:

[Xipe Totec]

10. Yea, fine, but post a link

I' wanna hear some Celtic music I haven't heard before.

:bounce:

[LeftyFingerPop]

31. But if I posted a link...

I somehow think i would be violating DU rules. I am certain I read somewhere..."posting a picture of your Celtic Root will result in immediate termination of your account".

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

5. "Scotland the Brave" (of course)

[Xipe Totec]

7. Link, please

I have my own copy of Scotland the Brave by the Bagpipes and Drums of Scotland, but that's on a CD that I can't post.

I just saw the update; thank you!

[Xipe Totec]

13. Thanks for the link!

Awesome!

(no wonder the Germans called them "The Ladies from Hell")..

[Rambis]

33. Love it!

those sounds stir something in my belly everytime I hear it.

[Xipe Totec]

15. Beautiful Music,

even if it did not include bagpipes.

I'm glad you posted it!

:toast:

[LostinVA]

17. ACK! I thought I posted a song that did

They have a great bagpipe player.

[Xipe Totec]

18. That's ok, here come the bagpipes....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sR1EkJ4Wxac



























I'm just yanking your chain!

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

21. Bad thing!

[Xipe Totec]

23. Ok, Here's some real bagpipes...

With apologies for the earlier post...

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

16. Alan Stivell, Brittany, France

Close to the British Isles, but not.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRpNVMjnDmY

[Xipe Totec]

22. Bon Soir, Bretagne!

Beautiful, beautiful music!

Thanks!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

19. A little Celtic "easy listening" music

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUFnKLu4w9s

[Xipe Totec]

25. Beautiful music,

but no bagpipes... ;(

But I have some here, in reserve...

[greendog]

20. Here's a couple of Northumbrian Pipers

Kathryn Tickell:

Chris Ormston:

[Xipe Totec]

24. Thank you for Kathryn Tickell

Until now, I thought Susana Seivane was the only female piper worth her salt:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZiSTBJumMQ

But Tickell absolutely kicks ass!

:bounce:

And Chris Ormston is excellent as well!

[snailly]

26. Beautiful, passionate music

Thanks to all who've posted links on this thread. That music lifts my heart.

[hyphenate]

27. Celtic, yes; bagpipes, no

Much prefer the fiddle music of Cape Breton myself!

Here is a fantastic example--Buddy MacMaster, now 80, is the uncle of Grammy nominee, Natalie MacMaster. The fiddle music just gets you right in the heart and doesn't let you go.

[Rambis]

39. I am sure you have this but...

http://www.capebretonlive.com/archive.htm

Troy MacGillivray is a mighty fiddler
check out the video here
http://www.capebretonlive.com/video/video-show2.htm

[hyphenate]

40. Thank you

Yes, I have a link to the site, but always forget to listen in. My mom is a native of Cape Breton and used to go to the Canadian American club in Watertown to listen to the dances. Both Buddy MacMaster and Bill Lamey were performing at one point or another.

[Rambis]

42. Sounds like heaven

If you get to watch the video Natalie plays at the end but I can't tell who is with her. How is the festival they have each year?

[Xipe Totec]

45. I have Natalie MacMaster's Album - In My Hands

I love her music.

[Reverend_Smitty]

28. Dropkick Murphys

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo3D4OCqPXc

They have bagpipes, are from Boston and yes they ROCK! What do I win? :P

[Xipe Totec]

29. You win a bowl of haggis and a tankard of mead

:hi:

[Reverend_Smitty]

36. I'll take the tankard of mead...

as for the haggis...well...I insist that you enjoy it for me :P

[peacefreak]

30. With all this talk of your Celtic Root...

Flogging Molly comes to mind. And the Waterboys must have thrown some pipes in somewhere along the way.

[Bridget Burke]

32. Palestinian Pipe Bands are really hot.

I saw one on TV (local public access), but don't have any sound files.

Here's some info: www.premier-percussion.com/newsarticle.asp?id=4392

[Xipe Totec]

35. I'l have to check Palestinian pipes out

I'm always open to novel contributions.

Somewhere in my collection I have Estonian bagpipe music.

However, all I can say about Estonian bagpipes is that "good" does not begin to describe them.

:hi:

[bikebloke]

37. Capercaillie

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ln0_I4M8Cw

[Xipe Totec]

46. Nice Track - Thanks!

[bikebloke]

47. I have a few of their CD's

Karen Matthews, their vocalist - who didn't sing in that one, - has a beautiful voice when singing in Gaelic.

[Pacifist Patriot]

38. I'm so sorry I don't have a link. But the version of "Bonny Portmore" by

Laura Creame always stirs me.

Either genetic memory is real or reincarnation is. Because I'm U.S. born and bred but something about bagpipes just makes my blood run faster. Stewart is my maiden name so....

[LSK]

41. Dido - White Flag

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9KYGtreeXo

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

43. Stumbled into another one. Warning - no bagpipe!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKfp7_G7UlQ

[Xipe Totec]

44. That's ok - extra points for Gaelic too!

Excelent post!

[Xipe Totec]

48. Gordon Walker - Manchester Recital (hornpipes)

Your basic, no-nonsense demonstration of pure skill.
