April 20, 20188 yr Bagpipes for me. I genuinely once saw a lone piper stood on the banks of a loch on a really still day practising. Incredible. Sat and watched him for nearly an hour. They are also a fucking great addition to "It's a Long Way To The Top" by AC/DC Apart from that, for some reason, I just love The Wurlitzer Organ. Guess that's a childhood thing from trips to Blackpool I do like the pipes if done right. The pipes in Mull of Kintyre always bring a touch of dust for some unknown reason. I'm gonna pretend to be all butch and say it reminds of the lovely Campbeltown nectar
April 20, 20188 yr Hate the bagpipes with a passion. Probably because as a kid our next door neighbour played (very badly) them all the fucking time.

April 20, 20188 yr My mate married a jock lass and they had the reception at the bagpipes museum in Glasgow. You had to walk up stairs past a piper playing at top note, if you were very unlucky you had to stand next to him as folk chatted to bride and grooms family on the way in had a dislike of the bagpipes since
April 20, 20188 yr A proper pipe band is fantastic. Think best when played in a big setting or outside. Once was on holiday in jock land and discovered that the Annan pipe festival was happening. As we were nearby we went; it was outstanding. Even one thee from Chorley iirc.

April 20, 20188 yr I'm shocked at the disdain for the pipes. Found a clip earlier of a massed band of pipes and military bands playing "highland cathedral". Tremendous stuff.

When played well they are tremendous. Handy hint - just don't stand too close - it's like saying you don't like the bass guitar because you were stood next to the speaker at a Motorhead gig when Lemmy's amp was turned up to the max
April 21, 20188 yr Another one for the fiddle. Makes me want to strip off, paint myself blue and start burning down villages What a film that is ????????
April 21, 20188 yr Violin for me. Adagio for Strings is just wonderful. Probably the only violin tune to make me weep like a baby. Even now I imagine a Jewish bloke whose only possession is his violin.
June 23, 20188 yr Can the voice be classed as an instrument?What about this girl? Even without the pictures she's bloody gorgeous.
June 23, 20188 yr Absolutely micky. Arguably the best of all. There was that young autistic (iirc) girl on you tube a couple of years back. Stunning voice for someone so young.
June 23, 20188 yr John Coltrane quoted that the voice was the ultimate instrument I disagree with him, but it offers great beauty

June 24, 20188 yr He was great in Cracker but hasn’t done a lot since. Of course, Robbie named himself after John
June 24, 20188 yr Was Hagrid pre or post Cracker? Micky they overlapped Cracker ran from 1993 to 2006, Harry Potter 2001 to 2011 PrePosterous!
