I agree with francis. Another mangalisation this time using the
Uillean pipes as the weapon of choice.

And, guessing from the size of those arms, he's using the UP

Yes to both, and the acoustic doesn't help at all.
And a curious choice of drone, which on my headset seemed to be the
subdominant.
I admire anyone, though, who can honestly say they've never played too

It's a lot easier to play Roxborough Castle in dotted rhythm, as is
done here. I prefer it played absolutely straight, which is really very

Hello Anthony,
I don't think we disagree. At Stuart Hardy's musical altitude, I'm sure you're
right.
That's a level I can only admire but never approach. On a more basic level,
playing the tune with a dotted rhythm will get you through in a far less
exposed manner than playing straight, which
I'll tell you what worries me.
Don't they listen/watch what they are posting for the public?
If they don't, why not?
If they do, why don't they notice that things are wrong?
This guy can obviously "play" the thing - including the regulators which
are tricky at the best of times.
I'm guessing it's
Playing hornpipes in Irish sessions - the Telegraph at the top of Brixton Hill
particularly-
was good speed practice. But you don't have to worry about closed fingering on
a flute!
The main difficulty there was finding a beat long enough to snatch a breath

Even though I think all the comments on the youtube videos that I
volunteered to go over the top in the first wave are all correct and
useful, I had hoped the spirit of the thing would be more encouraging.

One out of 2 isn't bad - led to a discussion on the right speed and rhythm for
a rant.
The only major quibble with the Carlisle one was the slurred snaps where
everyone else would prefer the high notes staccato.
Being polite about the other one is harder, though telling him to tune the
drones
True enough, John.
I hope as many pipers as possible will be encouraged to share their
performances without fear of getting the Simon Cowal treatment.

Hello again, Anthony,
One question arises over the issue of absorbing a regional musical accent:
which side of the hill are we talking about? If the hill is big enough, the
style will be pretty different. Northumberland is a huge county, where
travelling in the old days would not have been that
Anthony, Francis and all,
I've just tried playing Hesleyside and Roxburgh Castle at rant speed, but with
hornpipey dotting, and found it very educational, and potentially very musical
too. There is a rightness about playing them that way which is very convincing.
But they need more work Per
A good point - but if a musical style has any merit, it's worth
studying for musical reasons alone.
That's why, in Ireland, so many non-Kerrymen play slides and polkas
