The Lewis & Harris Piping Society
United Kingdom
Registrace 3. 09. 2020
The Lewis and Harris Piping Society was formed in 1977, our main objective is “to promote in the interest of social welfare the encouragement of piping in all its aspects with particular emphasis in the fields of tuition, competition and recital”.
For many years after its inception the Society has been able to organise regular recitals, bringing such experts as the late PM Angus Macdonald, PM Alasdair Gillies and Gordon Duncan to name but a few, to demonstrate their virtuoso skills.
For the past few years that experience has been more or less confined to once a year when the Donald Macleod Memorial Competition is held in Stornoway. Allowing piping enthusiasts to gather to listen to the noble instrument played live by expert fingers.

Angus is my absolute favorite, magnificent piping.
what is the name of the gaelic air?
It is a Gaelic song called 'Ho ridh ho ro mo nighanag'. Apologies, we (two of us) have no idea (so far) what it's called in English.
@@thelewisharrispipingsociet351 Thank you so much for that, its really helped out x
Beautiful drone sound ... the cone of tone.
Does anyone have a copy of the first 2/4 march music?
I cracked up when they headed in the back, lol. Fantastic piping, as always :-).
awww love it....
Outstanding piping! Roddy MacCleod is great inspiration to me!
Absolutely beautiful slow air. can anyone tell me the name of it please.
Please name of the first slow air. Thanks in advance
Hornpipe Tune name? Lovely darados
Its called the stornoway hornpipe
@mikescalia387 I should've known that, thankyou!
Outstanding Instrument an great Playing, I very much enjoyed this performance,. Just 1 little thing, second Strathspey is not Bogan Lochan, it is the great tune "Atholl Cummers". Thank you for playing and uploading.
Bogan Lochan is another name for Atholl Cummers... just recently learned that myself...
Y'all sound amazing...just don't loop a room like that...Just take center stage....anyways NOICE!
I have watched this man play live and listened to him on video links his pipes have great tone and his playing is never less than first class. You're entitled to your opinion, but can you do better consistently, under any conditions?
What is the Marag? I feel silly for asking, but just out of curiosity.
Sounds far too flat. Coming back to this for one note ain’t exactly progressive
Stuart Liddell is always a great inspiration to me!
❤ The history is amazing, the drones sound magnificent. History that we can hear sounding beautiful.
I hate a show off! 😆😆😆👍
Willie still competing still a great player always like his uncle Hugh another good prize winner.😊
What a cracking performance! Please, what is the name of the lovely slow air before the H/J?
I'm terribly sorry but I'm having difficulty identifying it myself :/
Sublime sound and even more so the technique and finger work.
Hugh Kennedy is the first march.
always good pipin'
Were people singing along when Willie McCallum was playing his slow air?
I think so.
Roddy is not only one the finest Pipers alive today , he is also one of the nicest folk you could ever wish to meet.

Braw! Thank you.
any chance on the names of all the airs/songs
I love to hear these lower pitch pipes. I grew up playing in a lower pitched era and remember when pitch started to get very high in about the late 90s. A high A especially on a high pitched chanter can be pretty harsh sometimes.
what is the gaelic song that Al first sings then plays on pipes
The song is 'Fhir a bhata', The song of the Boatman.
@@thelewisharrispipingsociet351 thank you so much, very appreciated
Beautifully played! You're an inspiration to me!
How did you reed this chanter?
Amazing sets
Right up there with one of the best Piobaireachds of all time
Incredible... What a lovely tone! Thank you so much for sharing! 😍
Drones askew, looks bad, they should be in a nice line.
Very nice tune played with a great interpretation! Good job Connor! 👍🏻
Pitching at 455!! Music for the ears - pity we can't get back to a lower pitch! A brilliant combination of all the aspects of this segment on the day. Well done to all who put this together.
That sounds about right quite literally. I thought it was in the very low 460s. I didn’t think it was in the mid 450s. For some reason 455 sounds very good on highland pipes and gives it a dark haunting tone. As a piper who is used to pitching at 480, it is a pleasant experience hearing 455.
Just amazing a highland pipe can survive that long, especially from a notable piper like John Morrison. For some reason it seems very eerie playing much flatter as historically they would have. Absolutely amazing piping from Liddell.
