Jack Campin Punjabi Celtic Bagpipes (23) RE: Punjabi Celtic Bagpipes 07 Jul 23

I think the bagpipes in that video are an Eastern European type so it's even more mixed up than they say. The tune is Irish, played in a Scottish style, and the dancing in kilts seems to be a mashup of Irish and Highland.

The bit of cultural fusion nobody wants to talk about is that Highland pipes are actually English - first played in Scotland in the late 1400s and soon abandoned in England (where the quieter central European type of bagpipe hung on for longer).

These guys led off a Scottish independence march in Glasgow a few years back.
