I've been playing this for the past 3 and 1/2 years and will continue with my windows down

Please could we have a round of applause for the person(s) who
filmed this, great shots of S.L.'s fingers.
and playing it at half speed is great tuition

[dominicsteiner]

Hearing and seeing them play touches my soul every time.

[marcmartel]

When you can enjoy the sound of real instrument for once, no lyrics just your mind, body and soul vibrating to the frequencies of the sound!

[Daniel.W.Bridge]

the most beautiful ancient ancestral music of the entire European area

[ddunsire]

Stuart is one of the nicest human beings in the world, as well as one of the most talented pipers Ever! 💕

As an old Black Watch piper for the last 20 years in Fairbanks Alaska it is an absolute joy to hear these great 'Men of Argyll'. I as a perthshire lad understand how important History is i looked after Glen Etive for Robin Fleming for most of the ninties, it is to record and 'wow' what sharp clarity we have here, many many thanks for Historic recordings, sorry i had to pick up the chanter for the last tune here in the garage. Many many thanks for such a marvelous Do !

After playing pipes for 48 years I wish I played with this much clarity, these 3 pipers displayed the best performance I have ever seen. They demonstrate that even the simple 2/4's & 4/4's can sound amazing played with heart and soul. I would have listened to this at least 2-3 times a week since I came across it.

I like how he took the time to tune the drones, that's humble and real. You say to the crowd, just hold on now because I care about the best sound of my pipes. What a majestic sound!!

[seanengland]

Such humility from outstanding artists, amazingly downplaying their extreme level of skill.

[cobro]

Angus is just incredible such a true old school piper!

[fishingwithmagnes]

Stewart Liddell was one of my judges for a pipe competition I had. He also performed, and it was the most entertaining 5 hours I have ever spent sitting in a chair!

[metrotek]

Born and raised in Los Angeles. . . . So, why do the pipes give me chills whenever I hear them?

[neddamaccallum]

I’ve seen pipe music - I play the piano, never seen so many grace notes in my LIFE! LOVE THE PIPES, ALWAYS HAVE & ALWAYS WILL

[toddavis]

You'll either love the pipes, or hate them! ♡♡♡♡♡Great Scott's fulla musical talent

[stewartkeith]

I loved Highland Wedding and Cameronian Rant as Hornpipes. I can imagine that after playing those tunes over and over in competition they would lose their shine and an otherwise bored player might start to see what else you could do with those same collection of notes. Very clever and entertaining, and oh, so musical. Well done Terry and Stuart!

[rolandc]

Last christmas I listened to amazing grace with bagpipe. My cat started rubbing on the speaker. She loves the bagpipes and sitar,

[leonardusdesignleonardusde]

[vickycampbell]

[lisahartman]
