A blast from the pre-plague past

Post by rhulsey »

There are probably a few newer members here who haven't seen this little jewel, expertly executed by C/F members Eskin and MTGuru. It is a classic, IMHO.

Well done, lads.
Mind you, I saw John Gahagan and Dougie Pincock do similar in the early 1980s when they were part of a group in Glasgow called "Kentigern". We got the 2 of them together here in Aberdeen, almost 2 years ago to the day, and they did the same trick, playing the pipe march "Donald MacLean of Lewis".
Seems to still be popular in Glasgow :

I have doublepipes where instead of 'two people one chanter' it's 'one person two chanters'

Thank you for posting this classic whistling video. I remember my first viewing a few years ago. Amazing!

I hope these members are doing well. Perhaps there ought to be a sticky thread with amazing whistling/history. And for another classic:
