I just went down a bit of a rabbit hole on YouTube but I can confirm there are other songs that people play on bagpipes! 😆
Apparently it's a bit hard as there aren't that many notes and the nature of them means you have to play notes constantly so you can't use pauses, but there's still a lot they can do.
There's Amazing Grace that you hear occasionally, but also stuff like:
First time im seeing something like this it looks fun, next year im going to try and attend.
It's nice seeing people having fun 😀
I'm shocked at the turnout thats got to be the entire town
Lots of people head down from Christchurch for it, and im sure other places too. Always cool to see people joining in the festivities.
Very cool!
Why do bagpipes always play that same song 🫤
The song is called Scotland The Brave, unsure why its the mandatory song to play on bagpipes. Probably the only song they teach people to play 😝
