Very nice. I love to see people who Really know how to play, play Real instruments, Really well!
Thank you.
@@davidvaughn367 Thanks so much David! I hope you enjoy the new album ‘True North’! absil.one/truenorth.oyd
Why have I only just discovered the uilleann pipes despite my Scottish and Irish roots!! Love the beautiful haunting sound, and love this tune. Thanks all, for a brilliant performance of it.
Thanks Fran! Nice to connect here, and I'm happy you enjoyed the music. Best wishes, Calum
He closes his eyes to ride the flow of the music. Unbelievable!
We were certainly in our own musical bubble during this recording! The natural acoustics were incredible in this room (upstairs great hall in a castle).
Many thanks! Calum

@@CalumStewartMusic Familiar with the sense of flow. Even though my own talents are infinitely less. I play harmonica regularly in a local bluegrass/R&B/whatever jam with about 30 other musicians on a regular night. NEVER DID LEARN TO READ MUSIC SO PLAY BY EAR. Figure the key, find the first note, go with the flow.
But you sir are sheer musical genius inserting grace notes not by rote, adding or shortening notes, and marvelous shifts in the chords. GLORIOUS.
@@davidcpugh8743 Many thanks again David! Yes, it's all about the flow, no matter the genre!
I love this guy's Irish pipes. He plays really good
Many thanks Nathan for your kind words! I really enjoyed playing acoustically with the guys in this space… fantastic natural reverb! Best wishes, Calum
I came here after listening "Ategnatos" from ELUVEITIE... This song Is pure magic!!!
Many thanks Adolfo! Yes, their version of my tune "Am Monadh Ruadh" is quite something! Thanks for your support, and keep in touch. Cheers, Calum
@@CalumStewartMusic Thank you so much!!
I had this on while cycling to Ireland last year for a semester abroad before even knowing what piping was. Brings back memories of cruising down hills after hills with the utter freedom of not knowing where I'd put my tent up in the evening. What a tune, Angel's Share as well. Thank you so much for making this music, Calum, and everyone who had a hand in this.
Thank you so much for this message!
It makes me really happy to think of the music going along with you through the hills!
Sending best wishes, and I hope you enjoy the new album "True North".

I LOVE this music. Am Monadh Ruadh is my soul song. I'm a Texan so I don't even know what those words mean, but this music speaks to me. I listen to this every day and many times throughout the day. Calum you are blessed with lots of amazing talent. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Lana, thanks for your comment, and I'm happy that you enjoy this tune so much. The title "Am Monadh Ruadh" refers to the name of the Cairngorm Mountains, in Scottish Gaelic.
I grew up not far from these mountains, so they've always had a big impact on me!
All best wishes, and thanks for connecting here.
Calum
Music like this makes me proud to be Irish. It stirs the soul of any Irish person 🇮🇪
Happy you like the music! All best wishes, Calum

This clip adds character to a music that speaks directly to the soul.
Many thanks Sasuke :) Calum
An absolutely amazing song. You are such a talent. Simply brilliant. !!!!
Thank you Marianne! We really enjoyed recording in this place! Best wishes, Calum
I love your music so very much that I not only listen to it all the time or as much as I can but I’m hoping one day a grandchild of mine will play like you. Either pipes or whistle or flute. You are so good at it , a huge inspiration for future generations. Keep it up !!! Bravo !
That lovely, dynamic, powerful tune brought me always back to our last years hols in Cromdale... driving through the Cairngorms, bring back the light that heaven has brought to this beautiful landscape, to see the endless varieties of green and blooming heather... and the sweet, herbal smell that has been there 😍( ... and all without midges!)
Thanks for these words Uta! Calum
Oh my God. Wow
:)
I know!!! this song was channeled!
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ.
After Jesus rose from the dead, this is what he said.
Luke 24:
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
----------------------------------------------------------
Then we see the gift of the Holy Ghost poured out, which is the promise of the Father Jesus said to wait for in Jerusalem.
Acts 2
King James Version
2 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
----------------------------------------------
And then Peter preaches the gospel to them, and repentance and remission of sins preached in His name.
Acts 2:
36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made the same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
Repent, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
That is how you are saved from your sins.
Just as Jesus commanded.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew 28 :18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
They baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
Jesus Christ.
One name given among men whereby we must be saved.
This is why every baptism done was in Jesus name, Jesus did not say to dunk them in water repeating the phrase "Father Son and Holy Ghost", he said to baptize them in the -NAME- of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
They did as Jesus commanded.
------------------------------------
Mark 16:
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
And you see the Samaritans receiving the Word of God, and being baptized in Jesus name and receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost in acts 8
Acts 8:
12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
------------------------------------------------------------
And the Gentiles, receiving the same gospel, and the same obedience following.
Acts 10:
43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
They believed, and even received the gift of the Holy Spirit, they knew they received it, because they spake with tongues and magnified God, the same thing that happened to them, [Acts 2]
And the first thing that was done, is that they were commanded to be baptized in the name of Jesus.
Because that is how you get your sins washed away.
Just as Ananias told Paul.....
Acts 22:
12 And one Ananias, a devout man according to the law, having a good report of all the Jews which dwelt there,
13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto me, Brother Saul, receive thy sight. And the same hour I looked up upon him.
14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.
15 For thou shalt be his witness unto all men of what thou hast seen and heard.
16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
That is why Paul was baptized, and this is his own account...
Which goes with the rest of the scripture.
1 Peter 3:
18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;
20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
And now why tarriest thou? arise and be baptized and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
Romans 6:
6 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin. Amen
J’étais au concert à villenave d’ornon et franchement c’était sensationnel ! J’ai ressenti de fortes émotions grâce à vous. Vous êtes des musiciens épiques ! Je me lasse pas de ton instrument Calum, il résonne en moi et me fait danser 🕺
Merci beaucoup pour ce message! Nous avons passé un moment très sympa à Villenave D'Ornon... ambiance vraiment super! Merci à vous! Calum
Это потрясающе! Прослушал эту запись уже с десяток раз и не собираюсь останавливаться! Ребята, это просто фантастика!!!
I sense wisps of floating fog while the wild geese fly away. Wailing pipes.
As we lean into the oars of our he dragon ship.
@@davidcpugh8743 :)
This tracks is completely incredible. Thanks for this moment.
Thanks Léopold! We actually had a really special time playing in this location... completely acoustic, in the great hall of a castle :) Perfect acoustics!
This is making my lock-down a lot more better, listening to your music is really awesome man, please make more and post them on UA-cam.
Thanks Jag! Yes, it's been a long haul during lockdown hasn't it! We'll endeavour to do some more videos in the future!
Best wishes, Calum
@@CalumStewartMusic Thank man, I look forward to listening to more of your music. Awesome work man.
Cheers @@JagTheRipper 😊 calumstewart.ffm.to/talesfromthenorth.pyp

Many thanks! Best wishes, Calum
Still brilliant......
Cheers Fran!

Ategnatos❤️

@@CalumStewartMusic I love their music and i loved yours too💞
Keep it up my friends.
@@never_nevertheless I was about to comment on that, but you beat me too it. Great band, the new lineup is incredible, and really take a great tune (this one) and make it move differently.
Discovered this on BBC Alba, excellent, now I'm looking for it on CD.
Hi Ian,
Thanks so much! “Am Monadh Ruadh” is the opening track on my “Tales from the North” album.
You can find the CD here; calumstewartmusic.bandcamp.com/album/tales-from-the-north
Let me know if you have any issues!
All best wishes, Calum

Best wishes, Calum
생각날때마다 들으러 오는데 너무 좋아요
I come to listen to it whenever I think of it, and it's so great.
Really happy that you like this recording! It was a special moment captured.. in the 'back stage' of our Nantes concert! Pure acoustic! Best wishes, Calum
My two favourite uillean pipers now....jarlath henderson and....callum stewart !!! (Seriously, only just discovered this young man and he is, quite simply, amazing!)
High praise indeed Simon! Thanks a million and glad you enjoy the music. Calum
Special.
Cheers Danny!
Only discovered your music today - and I'm so glad I did! This is an absolutely amazing tune. Can't wait to try it out on the flute :)
Brilliant, yes I'm sure it works well on the flute! Calum
Brilliant tune! I've been learning to play it on (low) whistle, but of course the uilleann pipes have a range of nuance and subtlety all its own, which you really bring it out soulfully in your music. Really love that you're writing new music, keeping trad music a vital and living tradition. Cheers from California.
Thanks for your kind words Stephen! I'm sure this tune works on low whistle too... in fact dual pipes and low whistle is one of my favourite combinations! All best wishes, Calum
This is so good, and if you want a "happier" version, just put 1.25 speed on youtube ! It's like in a tavern
Wow, that really worked! Thanks!
Vraiment très beau , j adore cette musique irlandaise
Merci bien Laurent! En fait je suis Écossais, mais mon instrument (Uilleann Pipes), considéré Irlandaise! Our music is mostly rooted in Scottish, but also Irish traditions, Best wishes, Calum
Premier morceau, magnifique, d'un album merveilleux ... ! Si je ne l'ai pas écouté 200 fois en boucle dans ma voiture depuis que je l'ai (août 2017, un peu avant sa sortie officielle), je ne l'ai pas écouté une !
Merci Marie-Christine!
I am listening to your music to make myself feel "high" while doing something.... Thank you so much!
Cheers LA_LA! I'm delighted the music can boost you in this way! All best wishes, Calum
L ascolto la riscolto e ancora la riscolto è magnifica

Beautiful and melodic
Thanks Colin!
Nobody realized that this song is used also in Eluveitie - Ategnatos? minute 3:05
Is just on 1.25 speed in their song
Arni Elekes, This was the original tune that Eluveitie also used in Ategnatos. Both this song and Ategnatos are beautiful, 100%. Glad that I picked it up when I did. I don’t regret a single thing about it 👌👍
Hi Arni!
Yes, I recently found out that Eluveitie used my composition in one of their songs. They apparently thought it was traditional. Different versions anyway! Thanks for connecting. Best wishes, Calum

This tune is everything! I've been playing it over and over for months now. Bloody awesome. If I knew Irish pipes existed when I was 12, I probably wouldn't have learned the Northumbrian ones!! Thanks so much for posting. Fantastic quality of musicianship.

nice to hear the zouk take a solo instead of playing back- up all the time
I agree! Bouzouki is one of my favourite instruments, and it's so versatile! All best wishes, Calum
@@CalumStewartMusic cheers Calum - by the way your tune has a definite Breton flavour!
Calum, I just found your music via Ainsley Hamill's "radio" on Spotify. I am so glad I did. This piece brings me back to a time when I might have been Scottish... in a past life?! I visited Scotland for the first time in 2014 and then again in 2018... I think it is time to go back this year, if we trust the pattern :) So you grew up not far from the Cairngorms?
Many thanks Radina! Ainsley is a fantastic singer and I'm happy that you found this music through her :)
Yes, sounds like it's time for another trip to Scotland for you!
I grew up in Moray / Speyside, which is just North of the Cairngorms... The Cairngorms are a really special place for me!
Best wishes, Calum
@@CalumStewartMusic mòran taing!:)
To the 10 who said "no thanks" to this video/music: what happened to you to make you not appreciate beauty when it hits you? A shame your ears are abandoning you they way they are.
Cara álainn fuaime!!
Nice work Calum! Who made your pipes? is that chanter cocobolo?
Hello! My chanter is made by Benedict Koehler, (Mountain Mahogany in this video, but I'm now playing a chanter from Benedict made in Apple wood which is rounder sounding, while keeping the same power), my drones from Dave Williams, and the regulators are a custom set up, made by Eamon Curran. I've also had a fair bit of custom work done by David Limm, Thierry Bertrand and Peter Worrell. Cheers!
Who made your pipes? Very nice sound!
That's so great ! I love this song ! It keeps on playing in my ears !
Just wondering, do you have any sheet of that song to share with us ?
Hi Martin,
I do indeed... send me an email through my website and I'll get you a PDF!
Cheers, Calum

Is all of your music for sale on your site? I remember there was one video that's been privated that used to be my favorite. A guy on the guitar having a duet with someone on a flue. I can't really remember what it was xalled or anything but I'd happily buy every song you have to try to find it again!
Hello Stout, Yes you can find links to albums via my website. Not all the albums are still available sadly, but most are!
The guys you mention could be Gilles Le Bigot ( guitar) and Jean-Michel Veillon (wooden transverse flute).
Can you purchase this tune to download? The link seems only to have physical CDs.
Hi Michael, indeed you can! The album is here on iTunes music.apple.com/gb/album/tales-from-the-north/1297987718 I hope that helps! Best wishes, Calum
@@CalumStewartMusic Great. Got it. One of my favourites. Thanks.
Who made your chanter? Sounds great!
Hi Jim, Benedict Koehler made my chanter. Glad you enjoy the sound, we had a great time recording in this acoustic setting! Calum
@@CalumStewartMusic you're lucky to get one. He wouldn't make one when I asked him! happy with my Victor Mullally one now. Sounds absolutely brilliant anyway. Love the funky Breton feel.

Hi Calum, where did you get your pipes made? I am looking at getting a set of Uilleann pipes (practice or half to start with) Just was wondering where a piper would advise someone go?
