Tie talk playing for the Tampa Asturian society! I got to give the kilt a rest for a day and played the asturian national anthem “Patrida Querida” on my Scottish pipes! ✨
Asturias is a region in Spain that has Celtic roots and their very own bagpipe tradition, located near Galicia. The asturian bagpipes have two drones and a smaller chanter piece, but share many similarities with the Great Highland pipes I play. 👍
Yes, my bagpipes are the Scottish kind, but bagpipes have a very rich cultural history in many regions of the world! Comment below where you’re from 👇✨

Loch Lomond/Red is the Rose🌹on Scottish smallpipes
What do you call this melody? 🎶Let me know in the comments ⬇️
In my understanding, Loch Lomond is the title most Scots know this tune to and Red is the Rose is the Irish title. Similar tune, but different lyrics. Interesting how that seems to happen a lot!
For example, Danny Boy = Londonderry air = You raise me up

Something I love about playing the bagpipes is learning the history behind the tunes! Interesting how bagpipers in the Crimean war heard Sardinian bands playing an air from Rossini’s popular opera William Tell, and liked the melody so much they adapted it to pipes. After almost 200 years and countless settings, most every highland bagpiper knows this tune.
Also greatly enjoyed messing with FinalCut to get a double Gemma bagpipes effect going. I love the harmonies to this tune, and you absolutely will catch me doing them during massed bands.
Would you like to hear more backstories for tunes? Let me know in the comments ! ⬇️

John MacMillan of Barra on A Irish whistle by Carbony Celtic Winds and A smallpipes , accompanied by me on the piano (not shown)
Really loving the addition of the Irish Whistle to the smallpipes! ✨I think they blend together beautifully and make a mystical sound 😀
This tune is a competition style 2/4 march from the first Donald MacLeod book, written by Norman MacDonald of Glasgow. It would be so cool if they let us show up with a Celtic instrumental combo to a bagpipe competition 😂

THANK YOU to Carbony Celtic Winds for the whistles! I am loving the tone and can’t wait to use them in my tracks! The mezzo A whistle works awesome with my smallpipes and I also chose high D, high Eb and low F to compliment the instruments I play. I am really enjoying incorporating an Irish flair into my music!

Ruining the Skye boat song with too much reverb 😊
Or does it just make it sound more mystical? Maybe somewhere in between would be the best balance. But life isn’t nearly as fun if you can’t turn it up to 11 ✨
