Bagpiper attacked by a lantern fly on stage

[deidrehuckabee]

I don’t know if I could have stood there calmly with that giant bug walking up my throat! Way to go girl! You were awesome!

When she pulled her mouth off i was like "she's faking it!" Then i remembered how bagpipes work 🤦

[kittenvibe]

I thought the bag pipes were lip-synching for a second and then I realized oh wait it’s one of those situations where you squeeze the bag and it screams anyway

[KWCHope]

Today the comments taught me how bagpipes work, kinda cool

[ellarinx]

this was like band camp all over again 😭 we’d be marching a show and they’d just be crawling up my legs

[xisco]

For a second I was like "wait, she's doing playback, the bagpipe is still playing when her mouth's not on the flute!". Then I remembered what the freaking bag in a bagpipe is for xD

As a musician myself I can say with 100% confidence that I would probably not have managed to continue the performance without missing a note like you did

[ronald]

Now THAT'S dedication. Love you Ally.

This is a “the show must go on” moment if I’ve ever seen one

[Yoelsan]

Actually a good instrument player, especially if you’re a soloist, you still keeping that professional look and kept doing your performance, i would love to do that kind of thing where i would be not panicking, but its violin, some solo musics doesnt have any break and usually it takes like 3-5 minute between each rests, which if i would be in your situation, I would pray to god for it to go away by its self and go into a rest quickly because those two hands gotta work hard all piece long

[Sparkitto]

Got so confused when she pulled away from the mouthpiece with the song still playing only to remember how bagpipes actually work lol 😅

[FoggyBadger]

You're much braver than I am! I'd have started slapping at my neck and running off stage. You literally didn't miss a beat!

[SPROctez]

As a fan of dropkick murphys, I can confirm there's not a single part except for the very beginning where you can go hands free.

[raellawrence]

As a Scottish person, I can say this is seriously badass.

[leightonrud]

Love bagpipes, what a crazy instrument. Sounded great too, well done 👍

[danielblalock]

Hearing just bagpipes for shipping up to Boston gives me goosebumps

[andryuu_]

For anyone asking the song is 'I'm shipping up to Boston'

[maxwellnelson]

I did not know you did not need your mouth on the bagpipes at all times, but that makes a lot of sense

[briannalarimore]

As a violinist who has played in many outdoor venues, I have had several experiences of bugs deciding that me and my instrument is a great place to hang out while I am trying to keep it together, oh my word. The moments where I too would try to find a moment to shoo them AWAY, lol. I totally felt her reaction 🥴

[williamhatmaker]

That was funny she's a real musician most people couldn't even halfway control herself see the Wonder😊
