[@liamreilly5780]

I havent seen this video before! I saw the other one with the duet, bloody hell he is good

[@cam3455]

i blast this in my car 10 times a day

[@catpiperdrumkitten6521]

Absolutely Brillant! This inspires me to write my own tunes on the bagpipes! :-)

[@johnmacleod4481]

Fair play to this piper for fingers and note dexterity a skill worthy of a fine musician gentlemanand scholar

[@lilacbush1983]

Double winner: fantastic playing and he won the ugly sweater contest.

[@UnboxingChristianity]

[@jonashawwa4736]

[@BagpiperGermany]

Great stuff!

[@jamesdavis2428]

[@KesslerWatsonMusic]

Great music

[@markusasunta]

The crans (or whaddayacallem in Scotland) in the end… wow.

[@andyMcEagle]

WOW!!!

[@michaelwallace8861]

Irish! that's enough and PM to one of the two best pipe bands in the world FMMG!

[@McSeahorse]

+Kelvin “Qikai” Wang Mebbes so. But Richard is in fact from Norn Irn. So your contradiction is unwarranted.

[@keyboardmamma]

@@f2e385 Contrary to popular belief both the Irish used slightly different versions of these pipes with slight differences between them. It's just the Scottish kept using them for longer.

[@PiperJim46]

Awesome....

[@NotAFanAnymore]

Brilliant

[@Mr05241948]

very nice performance

[@voidzennullspace]

you know upside down in eden court is a common mistake the tune he actually play in it's place is the fourth floor also by GD so that's why it's a common mistake.

[@Bagpipermuntagner]

wooow!!!

[@JustinBarylski]

The amount of Birls in that last tune is too damn high

[@corpanilla988]

Justin Barylski What do you expect? Gordon Duncan wrote it.

[@ryanferguson6799]

[@gulugul78]

[@paddythepiper1]

[@FlyingPiper13]

I'm pretty sure that the last one is called "The Forth Floor." Just an FYI.

[@tomjohns1079]

[@adamwiggins9865]

Holy Birls Batman‼️

[@jacoblehmann8180]

Gotta love the polish!!💪🇵🇱

[@Evanmonster1]

Richard Parkes, is from Northern Ireland.

[@jessegomes6366]

@@Evanmonster1 he's of 90% polish background

[@davidmarshallthegoat2737]

Nothing to do with polish culture

[@jessegomes6366]

@davidmarshallthegoat2737 Actually yes. The Celtic people of the British isles stole Bagpipes from the much stronger more intelligent Eastern Europeans like the Polish and Lithuanians

[@tomjohns1079]

Whats the first tune called?

[@daoism2000]

The Wise Maiden

[@DDog1029]

I have the music for it if you want it.
