KIND FLOWERS
zhlédnutí 589Před 8 měsíci
A nice tune written by Cliff Stapleton. Quite difficult to play........i could play it ok, but as soon as I turned the camera on there would be a few bum notes here and there. This take is more or less ok though. :-)

A short video of our exhibition running at New Brewery Arts - Cirencester. 16th September - 14th October 2023. Penny and I both had studios there. I was there for 20 years and made willow baskets - now I paint. Penny made hats and jewellery out of soft gloving leather - now she makes little textile pictures. I am playing the Northumbrian Pipes - The tune is called 'The Herd on the Hill'.

Here's my cover of Nigel's tune called "BRETON STRIPES". Best through some earphones or through speakers as there is some bass which you don't hear on a phone.

Really glad I got to listen to you play this afternoon. Awesome as always. Wishing you all the best from the mountains of Western North Carolina.
Thanks Mike that was fantastic you are a great player and that is a great tune.
I wouldn't be annoyed by youtube constantly recommending me videos with less than 1,000 views if even 1/10th were as good as this one.
I feel blessed to have discovered this song. This is so very beautiful and moving.
Nice song, Mike. Greetings from Argentina.
This makes me happy in a way I can't explain!
I love it 🙃
Lovely, Mike❤
Thank you Adriana x
Very nice 😌
Thanks a lot :-)
Hi, Mike! Did you tune your Hurdy Gurdy up about +20 cents? (I literally had to figure that out by ear because when I played a G note on the piano to match the drone, your drone was +20 cents sharp) Did you intentionally tune your Gurdy up so it had a brighter, happier feel?
Hi - yes I guess it is slightly sharp by a few cents. No - not intentionally.
Very nice tune inded❤ It's G4 ang G3 chanters ??
Thanks - yes G4 and G3 chanters.
excellent playing. who made your gurdy?
Thanks a lot. Gurdy made by Sebastian Hilsmann. (the model is a Largo)
What is the tune name ?
Nice done !
Awesome
Hi Michel - it is a stereo mic I use on my movie camera. Panasonic VW-VMS10
And well played by you Mike. And tell me, what is that mic on your vielle? The sound is good. Thanks
Keep going Mike Smith I believe in you
The clear sound of the Northumbrian pipes always bring me close to tears, such a simple but touching tune, proof that piping doesn’t always need to be technically sophisticated to sound beautiful Awesome playing, would love to hear more of you on these pipes
Stunning sound. Dear England Ye fought well For garlands, fete's and posies And Your country gardens bloom. I've met your maidens All round my lands The fairest was a gooseherd from Cheshire I do suppose it So I tip my cap And salute your customs Fine people And the finest of roses
😊
guy is a dark souls npc, sounds really amazing though
Hurdy gurdy is so awesome. Cheers for the music 💪
Toujours aussi beau, merci!!!
Nyenyere!
🥰Lovely ❤️
Thanks Andy. 😊
A beautiful piece ❤
Mike smith you are cool as hell!
Aww. Thank you ❤
oh Mike, it's wonderful ❤
Thanks Scott. Don't play the pipes much these days. I should make myself.
tu es un astre, cher Mike!!!!
Mesmerizing and beautiful. Thank you!
This reminds of me of the early, great, great days of Blowzabella. A much finer performance than on CD. And of course no godawful bass guitar thing.
Really beautiful, how can i find the sheet music of this?
Thanks a lot - email me and I will send it to you. I can not add the sheet music in these comments. mike@mikesrealart.co.uk

Glad you enjoyed the tune 😊🎶😊
The algorithm is gonna have a field day with this
What a beautiful tune, and you've played it well.
Thanks a lot. Great tune isn’t it 🎶😊🎶
Really cool, has pirate ship vibes
that's probably because they overused the hurdy gurdy in the original pirates of the Carribean soundtrack
This tune makes me feel like we're about to go to war
Interesting song
Beautiful, didn't even know I needed a hurdy-gurdy fix until I heard you. Wonderful
I love how relaxed this sounds even at this tempo. Fab playing :)
Superbe ! Je l'ai écouté 3 fois de suite ! Voilà un instrument qui nous replonge avec joie dans notre culture et nos racines. Cette musique ne s'écoute pas avec nos oreilles mais avec notre âme.
Merçi beaucoup. Je suis heureux que vous l'ayez apprécié.
Très beau thème, tu le joues comme à ton habitude avec sensibilité et tout ton art: grand merci, ô Mike l'Indispensable!!!!!👍
