Crossing the Minch & Glasgow City Police Pipers

Crossing the Minch, written by Donald MacLeod, is a reference to The Minch - a straight of water which separates the northwest Highlands of Scotland with the Inner Hebrides. It is often crossed by ferries from the mainland to the islands.
The Glasgow City Police Pipers, also written by Donald MacLeod is a popular jig among pipers - it's fairly easy to play and produces a fun result.

Brilliant playing 👍 Birltastic

[@thomasreilly219]

Excellent great pinkie birrel.

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

Beautifully paced! Love it, just learning these so it’s great to hear them not played at Millennium Falcon speed missing half the grace notes!!

[@AngusBurkePiping]

Thank you! I find especially Glasgow City Police Pipers tends to get the Millennium Falcon treatment. It's a great tune, but too often played way over-tempo. Crossing the Minch is a bit beefier technically so it's less likely to be put through a buzzsaw for the sake of speed, I think!

[@ruaraidhmcdonald-walker9524]

@@AngusBurkePiping Exactly! I see different versions of CtM. What’s the second emphasis gracenote? B strike?

[@normanmacleod3669]

That was excellent, great tempo. 👍🏻

[@steviewalk]

Beautifully played. Such crisp birls

[@rossbabcock2974]
