6:43 Highland boy looks to his father for support when the shock of seeing highland pipes yet hearing uillean pipes hits him. A trauma that will never leave him.
I know! That was so weird when I first saw it. Nothing wrong with including Uilleann pipes, or Scottish smallpipes or border pipes. But making it seem that a highland pipe was playing is just peak Hollywood.
Nice! Would be also great a video of "non-irish or traditional tunes" with uilleann pipes, like the ones recorded with artists such as Tracy Chapman, Sting, Mark knofler, Gary Moore, Nightwish etc...
Magic! And perhaps ultra-nerds might like to know that on his "Celtic Moods" album, Ronan Browne plays a longer version of the Braveheart theme which includes a part played on whistle or flute with orchestra backing. That bit is in a different key but if any piper fancies playing it then it is easily transposed and linked to the main theme with a few extra notes.
Lovely stuff! What else? early Chieftains soundtracks like The Grey Fox (great train music) Barry Lyndon (P. Moloney meets Kubrick)... John Sayles gem The Secret of Roan Inish (composer Mason Daring/piper??)
A good set of film Uilleann Pipes tunes, that I like to do are, Merry Men (Robin Hood Russel Crowe), Braveheart(Outlawed tunes), Lord of the Rings The Shire/Rohirrim theme/Twilight and Shadow, Titanic, Far and Away County Galway. With Lord of the Rings, there is a good amount that can be played on Uilleann Pipes. Also, "All of them" from the one King Arthur movie that had Hans Zimmer as it's composer. Its a really awesome piece of music to play pipes with. If it werent for movies, than I might not have really even got into piping and more specifically the Uillean Pipes.
@sionrouse my only problem is that I rent, so I'm limited to reserved playing in my van because of the rules of loud noises(and my place is like a giant slundbox). But still, I've been advancing, as now I have been able to teach myself, the March of the king of laois, folk style and O'Sullivan's March, as well as the themes from movies too. Very unique feeling, as if I'm riding a that if wind

The opening titles of Boondock Saints was a big one that convinced me to pick up the pipes as a kid.
Aha I must check it out! Glad you took them up as well ;)
Thanks again Jason, for being a great tour guide as we head down the rabbit hole. 😂 The deeper we go 🤯 the more fun we find 😁. 💪🏼🙏🏼🥰 Great video👏🏻
That Ronan Browne set is amazing!! Excellent video. Thank you 🎶
Great stuff!

I have thought about that, stuff like Horslips. Theres loads!
@sionrouse Yep! Exactly! It's nice to show how pipes works so well in different types of music as well.

That’s actually a good album despite the production. Pipes are sounding great!

There’s loads! And I bet you’re not the only one took up the pipes after seeing a film

There was a brief appearance of a piper in the film The Commitments .. no idea who the piper was but I think he was playing The Colliers Reel
Brian MacAodah! Forgot about that one! Would have been a class band with a piper ha
That Ronan Browne set sounds amazing!! Excellent video. Thank you 🎶
I believe Mel Gibson specifically requested uilleann's for Braveheart because he liked the sound better - who doesn't! Hehe.😀
Wow didn’t know that!
Secret of Roan Inish was before Braveheart, just sayin'....and I imprinted on that soundtrack HARD
