- Richard Parkes from Newtownards, Co.Down on bagpipes, and Trevor Stewart from Belfast on Uilleann Pipes, playing a hornpipe called Jimmy Blue, followed by a selection of jigs. 1996.

the highland pipe was made to be heard over mountains and glens,the uillean on the whole is just a softer sound both brilliant
The Irish bagpipes were identical to the Scottish bagpipes, they were outlawed by the British so they fell out of use. The uilleann pipes were invented in the 18th century. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uilleann_pipes#History
Agreed...they both compliment each other. Resembles how the oboe, English Horn, and the Bassoon compliment each other in an orchestra.

In Ireland the "Bagpipes" were "Píobaí Choghaidh" - "War Pipes".
The sitdown and play - "elbow pipes/píobaí/Uileann" were for peacetime.
Both are great if you can play them well. The Pipes unite the Scottish and the Irish Gaeil.
Have never heard a bagpipes and uilleann pipes duet before, but I liked it.
Wonderful fusion of Irish and Scottish instruments. I always felt that the Uillean(elbow)pipes were the quintessential sound of Ireland. Almost as if the sound emanates from the very soil of the land itself.
Bagpipes aren't scottish lol
The IRISH PIPERS WERE OUTLAWED AND HUNG WHEN CAPTURED
THE ORIGINAL WAR OIOES HAD ONLY TWO DRONES LIKE THE ONES FOUND AT CULLODEN
THEY DEVELOPED SOFTER PIPES FOR INDOOR PLAYING
Northumberland
John McCassidy yeah they are, a version of them were brought up by the Roman’s after being taken from the middle eastern countries that made the first set... but bagpipes as we know them are in fact Scottish
@@ALBA-js3um no they are Scottish not the oldest bagpipes in the world are Irish and they were found in county wicklow
sites.google.com/site/bagpipersforhireireland/oldest-bagpipes-in-the-world-are-irish
the Irish warpipes were outlawed by the English because too many of the Irish rebellions were led by bagpipers and when the wild geese were put to flight after the treaty of limerick many of them joined up with the French army and Irish brigades were formed and these warpipers also joined and they played the warpipes well into the the 18th century and this can be seen at the battle of fontenoy when after fierce fighting between the wild geese and the Scottish highlanders the wild geese finally beat their British oppressor's across the ocean and to spite the scots whilst they were licking they're wounds the Irish warpipers struck up they're pipes and played St Patrick's day and the white cockade which is an old Jacobite song meant by the Irish pipers to remind the scots of who they are. and the uilleann pipes are the way the Irish got around the British ban which was a ban on all bagpipes which were played standing up so the Irish adopted the warpipes initially to the pastoral pipes and then to the uilleann pipes. and the scots got the warpipes from the Irish conscript's who were forced to fight the Scottish rebellion's led by Wallace and Robert the Bruce and the scots noticed the frenzy that the Irish were put into by the warpipers and one way or a another got a set of the pipes and a player and learned how to play them and used them to the same effect. and after the Jacobite's were crushed by the British they were only allowed to keep they're pipes if they bowed to the British and succumbed to their rule and the scots for the most part complied and were allowed to keep their bagpipes and their stolen title of their claim to the bagpipes being their own, and eventually the bagpipes were changed from the two drone Irish version to the three drone Scottish variant. so in summary the modern bagpipes are indeed Irish in origin not roman or Babylonian and not Scottish or English the scots were only allowed to keep them because the succumbed to the British rule and the modern form is only Scottish because they added a drone and absolutely nothing else but the title and the only reason it is considered Scottish is because it is parroted by ignoramuses and scots.
and to think - the Uillian piper did all of that on one breath!
😁👍🇮🇪💚
See the Irish weren't stupid, We don't play with our mouth so we can still swallow the pints
or sing
Bottoms up,shirley…?@@kevinstachovak8842
Pour me a pint, please!
Joseph Durkin and keep talking.
Nice!
With an Irish mother and a Scottish father this just resonates with me I think the phrase is "it runs through my veins" 😁
That's so cool! Celtic blood in your veins.
Moms side of the family is Irish father's side of the family is Scottish- German. Keep well, kind, and courage kept
I had an Irish Father and a Scottish Mother. It works out to the same.
OOOOOOH MY GOOOOOD!! SO MUCH EARGASM!!!
A match made in Heaven. Well done lads. A pure joy to behold & pure ear candy!!!
You lot can argue about what sounds come from where and who made them but the fact remains, this is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dave McGarry totally agree with you 👍
@@mickthornley7210 DAMN RIGHT!! This is absolutely awesome!!
That was fantastic, the two instruments combined for a fabulous sound.
The Highland Pipe chanter is in A, thus the scale being G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A (Highland pipe Notation) The A-440 scale is actually G, A, B, C#, D, E, F#, G, A or A Mixolydian. The Uilleann Piper is playing in D Ionian with drones in D. The Highland Piper is using the D note as the root tone, which puts the chanter in D Ionian, same as the Uilleann Piper. Any other modes for either piper would be quite difficult to pair the 2 without some difficult fingerings. Or, some strange harmonies.
Such an interesting and thoughtful comment! When I was an undergrad I took music theory and honestly it was every bit as difficult as any maths or science course I took. The music building was so old. We used to joke about the linoleum mode.
Brilliant - thank you
All bagpipes, including these, can come with a variety of tunings. Only the chanter is fixed in one key. Drones, regulators etc, are usually tuneable. The uilleann pipes are the most tuneable, and chanters in different keys can be changed.
Thanks a lot!
Love the combination of the 2 types of pipes.
This has to be one of the best things to have ever gone in my ear holes.
first time Iv'e heard GHBs and uilleann pipes play along with each other...sounds great, excellent playing from both guys.....very good
Richard and Trevor...that's brilliant stuff. I could listen to the two of ye in the pub all night long. Great Stuff.
there should be no competition between the uileanns and GHBs, considering how fucking brilliant they sound together. This is the peanut butter and jam of Celtic music.

Is fíor duit. You're right.
Being of Scots-Irish decent, this comment make me actually cry real tears with happiness.
You know that both the uileann pioe and the regular bag pipe have both existed in Ireland..... and are also Irish ..... and the first pipes are not even Irish .... I love this music but history is history ,.... first pipes are from the middle east ...
@@gorgioarmanioso151 were they actually brought from the middle east to Ireland, though, or were they just separately invented multiple times throughout the globe, as has been the case with a bunch of other things?
Of course its only the Irish that would invent a set of pipes, that you can still play while sitting down, so that you can have a chat and a drink, and be social.
@leslie falconer Northumbria pipes they're called.
@@thenextshenanigantownandth4393 I think he meant to put to a comma.
@@felixsmith659 love the name😂😂😂
This comment contributes to the presentation im making for uni about Ireland music and dance xD
The bagpipes were made to hear from a distance an they also were made for war pipes I’m Irish an scots American I love both !
Wow - this had me smiling ear to ear. Terrific!
Can’t get any more Celtic then this. Love it
Add some Welsh or Breton dancers and it would be! ❤
@Cigar_Mantra #1 🏆 comment. IKR? Getting more Celtic than this would look like racist satire!😂
@gordiehanna3848 LoL yes!! Then they all drink, fight, then make up & play more tunes. ✌️ ☮️ 🕊
What brilliant pipe playing. Thank you
this is one of the best videos i've seen in a long time; absolutely brilliant
Every time I hear this it it puts a smile on my face!
Never thought I,d sday this , but in this guys hands the Scottish pipes sound wonderful.
Super fantastic, I love the sound of thoes to kinds of pipes together 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💜
Brilliant couldn't stop my feet moving.................Robert
This music is absolutely fantastic and it's a big pleasure to listen to it,thanks for this top quality upload.
Having read bcpipes's account of the mixed scales in this match-up I am even more impressed. A delight. Thanks for uploading.
Absolutely superb,
Love this, great musicianship !
love this...don't know whether to do highland fling or irish set dance..maybe both...superb
Gaelic Dueling Banjos! Awesome!
My feet won't stay still. Is this normal?
Kirk Brown If they didn't, your concern would be valid.
+Kirk Brown hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh me too
It's abnormal if they stay still.
I'm a Calvinist and my feet tap away good style. That's a very sweeping judgement of people , and a theological tradition you appear to know the bare minimum about!
Just goes to show you can't believe everything you read. :)
As a GHB piper who also loves Uileann piping, this was wonderful!
What a pleasure to hear and see this.
Excellent musicians. The Highland bagpipe low A is normally tuned to around 480 Hz, which is sharper than the standard Bb at 466.16 Hz. There is a "Shepherd Orchestral Chanter" made for the Highland pipes that is made in pitch to play with regular instruments.
The Scottish Smallpipes are more suitable for this, less loud and in A 440.
DONT HAVE ACLUE WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT JUST LOVE THE MUSICXXX
@@ConsairtinFergus he just explained that the shepherd chanter in concert A or in other words A 440
Feargal Mac Fitheach A 440 is standard GHB tuning and is what bands and solo players use, Richard Parkes pipes are tuned to just sharper than Bb to match the Uillean pipes. A 440 is not a great tuning for stuff like this unless the piper is alone. Bb is though because it’s easier to play with other musicians and sounds nicer. And though Smallpipes sound nice, they would be bad for this setting.
@@blakehollingshead813 richard parkes chanter is tuned in A and not just sharper than Bb. i know this because i tested with a digital chanter
Until I heard them played together I could never hear the difference.
This evokes such longing, my heart
Totally and utterly stunning. Thank you so much.
Those of you don’t play Highland bagpipes, it’s really mind blowing that this Highland Piper is just stopping and starting that many times so cleanly
Keep listening to these guys. Absolutely Brilliant even in 2020. Cheered me up no end. Thank you for the upload, Great pipers
Absolute harmony these two.
Still one of the best vids on CZcams :)
Nice. Both amazing instruments!
Brilliant. Makes me wish I could dance!
Being half Irish meself, I've been wondering when someone was going to do this. It's about fuken time!
Aye, now that's musical talent.
Thank you.
Sainte
@TJ McGregor agreed 😂😂😂
i go to the piping live street cafe every year at the national piping center on worlds week just to drink beer and listen to real music like this ......
The fast tune after the hornpipe is called The Jig of Slurs, and the last one is called Paddy Carry. Hope this helps you.
Brilliant!
It's soooo beautiful!
The man on the highlands is a BEAST
The music was brilliant... Their shirts were tragic.
No better way to look Irish.
Liam Ó Súilleabháin Hahahaha! So true.
+Joe Wells Hey, they guy playing the uilleann pipes has a plain red shirt, nothing too bad.
A frickin' greed.
Didn't notice the shirts was to far gone on the music.
Nice concert well done :)
This is the best Uilleann piping I have ever heard
Fantastic!!!
Aye that's braw playing. I haven't been this impressed in a while.
Beautiful Music !
My tuning meter says a "D" @ A=440 hz. from the Irish Drones at the start.
The Scots Drones are corked off (silent) and it's the Irish Pipe Drones
that are playing into the Sound System.
That's a GHB Chanter in A=440 which sounds so good unlike the
modern Bb plus 48 cents.
I 1st heard Mr.Stewart on "The Irish Country 4" LP (Topic Records ?) in 1974.
The Piper that taught him was Frank McFadden of Belfast, who I met just
a month before he passed away in the Fall of 1975.
Highland pipe "a" is b-natural today or above, 480+. In the 1990's I rebuilt my Highland chanter to play A-440 for folk band and orchestra before the first professional makers began making alternate pitch Highland pipes. This is an excellent presentation of uilleann and Highlands tuned together. I have an 1850's uilleann pipe bass drone with main bore proportions same as 1910's Highland Henderson GHB drones. Some clever people, maybe the same people, may have got inside both bagpipes long ago.
A very happy St. Patricks day to one and all on this 17th. day of March, 2015
God this so sums out our shared cultures. Brilliant
now that's some toe tapping music!! makes me wanna get up and dance a jig!! :)
Just brilliant complementary sounds ..............
Amen, me Scottish / Irish brother!!!
May you have warm words on a cold evening,
A full moon on a dark night,
And the road downhill all the way to your door.
And sev'ral barrels of mead to fill ye a-plenty!
@@christianchan1144 whisky ****
Don't be drinking English honey wine.
I like how the irish elbow pipe is kinda muted yet high pitched, nice contrast to the windy loudness of the scott pipes
Very true and how most people don't recognize that uilleann pipes are indeed a form of bagpipe!
Thank you!
Mesmerizing duet, the scottish pipes playing along with the Irish ones.
I keep hearing bokbokbok chicken sounds
Bagpipes play a tune,uilleann pipes play with ya soul.mm
14 people are now officially deaf...that is the only real reason why someone would dislike this music.
really enjoyed this video!
Thank You for this video
Totally Amazing!!
this is the best video on CZcams full stop!
Lovely. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic!
that was just crack on ....well done
Great duet!
... simply spectacular 🌹🪄❣
True Masterpiece.
I love it! This is the very core of the soul of the Japanese tribes...
Yoshisuke Tanaka what
Away and don’t talk a lot of shite
Well done, an unusual duet, for sure !
Help!! My foot won't stop tapping!!
wonderful and outstanding performance
lol - I forgot they did that. Thanks for the history. ;-)
Magnificent fusion!!!
hot damn this was a great idea
wow great musicians at work
Jade Tiger, you're a opened-mind person. You know, the thing that really counts in music is sharing, between people, musicians and different traditions and cultures.
For the people who like bagpipes duets, you should listen to Ross Ainslie (Border Pipes) and Jarlath Henderson (uilleann pipes). Their album is called "Partners in crime" and it's also wonderful. Have a good day...
IMPRESSIVE ! I play neither of those, but when I'm well informed it takes
two or more years to learn to play the Highland bagpipes,
and even LONGER to get along with Uilleann pipes...
It takes about 7 years on a full set to master the GHB and about 21 years to master the Uillean pipes
I love these instruments😀😀😁😁😂😂😃😃😄😄😅😅😇
Fantastic Melody! :-)
Im Gaelic decent on both sides, never been to Ireland or Scotland yet, but all my life, I've not been able to listen to Irish or Scottish pipes with dry eyes. Any one else experience This? It's like the very sound of them run through my veins.
American are you?
@@SirMrShanks Canadian born.
This is mesmerising
Love the Jumper!
the good side about the uilleann pipes is you're free to smoke a ciggie at the same time lol
+metamaggot .........and sing!
+metamaggot .........and sing!
I would love to be able to own and play both instruments.
The good Lord made us raving mad by giving us Pipes and Water of Life.
I wish this had a bodhran
This shows how striking the Scottish Bagpipe is (although not nessarilary a nicer sound), the Scottish pipes really make you pay attention, they are so loud and boom through the air. Makes sense why these particular pipes became so famous.
The scottish bagpipe has also been used for centuries in Ireland ...
@@gorgioarmanioso151 there called war pipes
@@Pack_leader1989 I know sorry forgot that,,,
@Gorgio armanioso I'm only messing around lol I know what you meant 😝
This owns. Bring on the drums and strings!
