Bagpipes @ Weavers Needle

Kraaauss asked:
I brought my pipes out to Weavers Needle. Weather was cold, fingers were freezing, but played anyway. I thought Flowers of the Forest would fit the setting.

You’re a monkey’s uncle then. The versions from Asia and Africa notwithstanding…From Wikipedia:”The Cantigas de Santa Maria, compiled in Castile in the mid-13th Century, depict several types of bagpipes. [3] Though evidence of bagpipes in the British Isles prior to the 14th Century is contested, bagpipes are explicitly mentioned in The Canterbury Tales (written around 1380): A baggepype wel coude he blowe and sowne, /And ther-with-al he broghte us out of towne.[4]“

for freezing fingers, you’ve got the best “flowers of the forest” on youtube, even with the small mistakes. for the most part its nice and open, like its meant to be played. best of luck in your piping.

Kostagh, nobody claims it’s Celtic…it’s Scottish, and if you can prove any version existed before the battle of Floddeen Field, i’m a monkeys uncle!

It is a lament for the fallen at Flodden field in 1513. Scotland lost her King as well as some 10,000 men.

VERY, VERY WRONG!!!! Hystorically it is not EVEN celtic. It has been used throughout Europe and most of Central and near Asia since before Christ. Even today it is a central part in most Balkan folk songs (Greece, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Bosnija a.s.o.). Actually it is called GAIDA in Bulgaria and Southern Romania, very close to GAITA from Spain.

..wonderful, perfect setting…and from my experience of playing ..rememberance etc..it is always freezing..so well done for braving the elements…and for the guy who thinks the GHB is purely Brit getta grip, the clearances ensured the pipes emigrated with the folk, and a great many commonwealth soldiers..and US died in wars since then……no one owns scenery..or music…..from a scot’s piper with many years army service.

The pipes are still a very BRITISH instrument and The Lament brings home the cost that has been paid over the years by Brits, be they English, Welsh, Scottish or Irish.
Always brings a tear to my eye every Nov 11th.

Mate it was well played! Half the american europeans are probably scots and irish. 21 of the 24?? ppl who signed the declaration of independence were scottish or of origin. Irony that mostly scots got rid of the ‘Brit’ english from america or not? I digress
