This may be the shortest thread ever, but does anyone know of any Prog that features the Bagpipe? Or any that uses it in some songs? It seems like something Mike Oldfield and Iona have done on occassion, but I can't recall.
It seems like it would be a cool sound if done properly in a prog format. I am not sure where or why this popped in my brain...  -------------

Oldfield uses them on Ommadawn. Phil Manzenera's Diamondhead has them featured somewhere. Dead Can Dance - Aion Dirk Mont Campbell - Music From a Walled Garden |

Alan Stivell.
He is known for his harp playing more than anything else, but you will hear a wide variety of exotic instruments being played on his albums. Including bag pipes. I reviewed one of his early efforts that has a track which incorporates bag pipes in the most ingenious way. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

A pre-progressive tune, circa 1968, uses bagpipes to great effect. Many of the elements in this Animals' tune can be considered at least prog-related: ------------- ...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology... |

So much new music to try from the responses here, thanks! The ones I have managed to listen to so far:
Dark Elf - I have that JT album and totally forgot that one, plus I would have never thought of that Animals song either.
lucas/Sagi - That Seven Reizh song did have a beutiful mix of the pipes, however the rest of song intrigued me as I had not heard of them before, looks like I will have to investigate them further.
Dwill - Rufus Harley with Coltrane on bagpipes was insane!

Iona uses bagpipes frequently, but they're not the well known Scottish variety; they're the lesser known Irish pipes that maintain airflow with bellows that the player pumps, rather than being blown into by the musician.

Yes, in terms of World Music with African influence both have a very similar style, as a fact PG is considered by some as the creator of World Music and Klegg as his successor. But vocally both are different, Johnny reaches higher notes easier than Peter b ut PG has that rough voice and the unique semi yodel. The funny thing is that both are almost the same age but Peter looks like his dad Iván

Horslips used the Irish uilleann pipes (which is a type of bag pipe) not the more widely-known Scottish bagpipes. You don't blow into uilleann pipes with your mouth like the Scottish bagpipes and they do sound different. See here...... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uilleann_pipes A guy called Davy Spillane is a great exponent of the uilleann pipes.......if you like that sort of thing. |

Just now catching up on this...Wow some good posts here! Totally forgot the Zepplin "In the Light" as well as the Space Revolver LP by Flower Kings, now I need to re-listen. I did not know of tha Fish track either, thanks! Lucas' post of Hagalaz Runedance's 'Frigga's web' was quite a pleasant treat...worth looking more into. I have not checked the rest of the links yet but look interesting. Here is one that is not prog, but is a very soulful soundtrack to the "Last of the Mohichans" movie of 1992 or so. Just the sound of the main theme and the orchestra give the vibe of bagpipes (very Celtic) even though with an American Indian sound, I could not find the credits to see what instruments were used throughout the entire soundtrack (used to have the cassette but it is long gone). A couple of youtube links to 2 of the movements. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWGRnHOhGiE" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWGRnHOhGiE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_R7bJahcwc" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_R7bJahcwc -------------

Now that I think about it, the eerie section of "In the Light" was probably done with both synth and the hurdy gurdy which can have a similar drone effect like bagpipes. I'm pretty sure I'd heard Jimmy Page used the hurdy gurdy but I was never sure where. That would make sense. ------------- https://blankspacerecords.bandcamp.com/" rel="nofollow - Blank Space Records |

Mention Salueña GARCÍA not news to those who follow the path of Senogul Asturian group, one of the finest champions dream of progressive rock in the Iberian Peninsula in the New Millennium (also part of quack and other projects around) but now appreciate it strictly as single musical entity. Well, not strictly "Noega" is an immense work created to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the Noega Pipe Band. This work includes the participation of the band, plus a quintet comprised Salueña Garcia himself on keyboards, the former Eva Garcia Senogul Touch on drums, Dani Alvarez on flute, whistles, Uilleann pipes and bouzouki, Héctor Braga the cello, harp, violin and bass voice and Horace, also acts an ensemble of percussionists, as well as the shares of reciters Xabel Lluís Alvarez "Texuca" and Fran Miller. GARCIA Salueña not rely exclusively on their own musical talent (which it has in abundance) for comprehensive engineering this symphonic poem, but also collected and adapted several traditional themes Asturian (Alborada, La Cruz De Mayu, xota De Remis, etc.). The disc itself is recorded from a performance at the Plaza Mayor de Gijon held in August 2011: the final edition, by the seal resistance, became a reality in October 2012. Noega is the name of pre-Roman fortified settlement that provides architectural and cultural root oldest Gijón, and in the specific context of this symphonic poem, the ancestral name refers us to the confluence of an attitude of reunion with the deepest roots with a Expansion attitude look elsewhere contact. More details on the meticulous and ambitious concept of "Noega" can be discovered in an interview that was done to Fran Miller and Salueña GARCIA, published on December 21, 2012 at this link blog "Renacer Electric": http://renacerelectrico" rel="nofollow - http://renacerelectrico .blogspot.com/2012/12/noega-poesia-y-musica-para-la-historia.html besides this issue radial filed Dec. 19 in the KRAS Radio Blog (link: http://radiokras" rel="nofollow - http://radiokras .net63.net/index.php id = 1300)." "With the pair of 'Advertise' and 'Foundation' we are faced with two successive recitations: marked by a cheerful tone, mocking, another marked by a solemn tone while the initial layers of keyboard being established cosmic aura full of elegance. So, during the second half of 'Foundation', a flute gets nostalgic to add warm colors before 'Noega' reflects the first group exploration: a great jazz-fusion exercise in alternating 5/4 and 3 / 4 that he creates a crystal clear, lyrical, which is adorned it halfway through the competition of bagpipes and drums. With 'The Second Death Of Noega', piano and a new recitation produce an aura of expectation before 'In Hoc Signo Vinces' install a beautiful journey of jazz and symphonic crossroads: the way the assembly bagpipes, violin and flute alternating the lead role in the expansions melodic precision holds strong. The pair of 'Les Fontes Escondíes' and' The Muyer Lluchó you 'sits a contemplative lyricism foundation is the perfect preview for tenor crossing elegiac' Foriata Na To citizens', and then, the atmosphere reminiscent of 'The Fonda De Lola ': this last piece plunges into the deepest evocations of the hometown, driven by a genuinely touching candor, candor lone migrant who own land looks as distant, and almost alien might add. A change of emotional register occurs with 'The Xuba What Sagrao' and 'No More High, The Llar', who are responsible for encouraging gestures with sounds and rhythms happy flirty jazz-based fusion of Latin roots, although it is clear the permanent commitment to the Asturian folklore in the ideology of Salueña GARCIA. The rhythmic patterns of jumping the battery and the spaces filled by the violin and bagpipes overflowing beauty amid a graceful contagious." "The sequence of 'Suaña' and 'Noega: Ente Les master' (the first of which includes a recitation) is oriented toward the contemplative, the intervention of the bagpipes in the second includes a standard that is reminiscent of the introduction of 'La Verbena Hermetic ', one of the most prominent Senogul debut disc. The dynamics entering the cosmic elements provided by the synthesizer in his intriguing bagpipe company generates a special sonic universe, while echoes of folk evocations necessarily brings expressive Piper momentum. All this serves as a preamble to now that 'Xotes' concretize some of the more plethoric dynamics around the Symphonic Poem: this piece radiates light while spinning its variants exultant folk, avant-garde jazz, fusion and progressive overtones. From here, follow the path of no return thanks to exuberant musicality 'A Glayíu Qu'anuede' takes some of the previous melodic ideas in the repertoire of the symphonic poem and provides a majestic architecture where the pomp and elegance merge into a single dynamic. The sequence of 'The Mestura De Les Augües', 'D'Ralagares Agora' and 'Ente Skies / Noega Reprise' conclusion operates as systematic ideas and colorful atmospheres Poem: agile lights ranging from a spring afternoon until the mysterious cosmic dreams outer scope, finally landing on a night landscape marked by a sober majesty, the concept of "Noega" sound completes its journey with a breathtaking splendor and unappealable. EDUARDO GARCIA Salueña brings out their eclectic visionary mind and heart rooted in the original land Symphonic Poem in this light which dignifies with the current category musical vanguard of Spain. The premiere was in August 2011, in the Plaza Mayor de Gijón. The recording, on CD, will be released on December 7, 2012" And three tubes to whet your appetite: So yes, there is a place, it seems, for bagpipes in prog...And indeed probably any other instrument you could care to name!

Yam Yam, being this has been suggested to Symphonic it's clear for me 1.- Their site describes it as Symphonic Prog Folk (whatever this is, becase it's written by people who don't knopw about Prog) 2.- It's Pure Folk 3.- IMO not even Prog But in no way Symphonic. Iván -------------

Yep, that's Paddy Moloney of The Chieftains on uillean pipes (replacing Herbie Armstrong's playing on Northumbrian pipes). Paddy also appears on Oldfield's track Taurus II from the Five Miles Out album. Liam O'Flynn and Davy Spillane play uillean pipes on Mike Oldfield's album Voyager. Tubular Bells II features bagpipes played by pipers from the New York police department. Mike Oldfield himself plays Northumbrian bagpipes on Amarok. Bagpipes also appear on Kate Bush's track Night Of The Swallow from her album The Dreaming, courtesy of Bill Whelan of Planxty, the composer of Riverdance. |

I've always liked these guys and consider them to be prog folk even though they don't get listed that way.......plenty of bag pipes in their songs,

Really enjoyed the track but for reasons best known to my unconscious self, I kept thinking of Terry Reilly's Rainbow in Curved Air?  -------------

Seven Reizh' both albums are loaded with pipes. Iona is also heavily piped. ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |
