Have you ever heard and seen something so beautiful you get tears in your eyes and the hairs on the back of your neck stand up at the same time?....Well, Albannach is it

First time I was in Edinburgh, coincidently the Fringe Festival was on & while walking down a street was drawn to the sound of the drums & happened upon Albannach. Stayed for the whole performance. There is something primal about their music & the way they play. A video doesn't really do them justice as they are so loud. I love them. Have a couple of their CD's.

They are incredible in person. The rhythms are haunting and so powerful!

I have seen this band 4 times - Exceptional Music to stir the Soul! Long Live Scotland!!

Makes me what to go to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and not come back where do you live.

There always a tear when I hear them because of the joy i have when I listen to them . Goose bumps every time. The intensity , the beauty ..

With this melody, I feel my roots so close to me ... that they remind me centuries ago of my existence in this beautiful place.

I absolutely adore this lot! 💙 Their music and energy are phenomenal! Can’t say how proud I am to have been born Scottish! I wouldn’t want to be any other nationality in the world, not even if I was paid a million pounds!

The first time I seen them live! Wow, amazing, blew me away. The energy is absolutely amazing! I listen to them in my car, jamming as I'm driving down the highway. Never gets old listening to them ❤️

Albannach ROCKS! I'm mostly of Scottish heritage and this music stirs something in me!

GAM!!!! Love this group! Real wild Scotties!! The guy in the center (on the double drums) how he keeps it up is amazing.

My husband and I have seen this Band in person and they are off the chart's two week's ago at the Scottish Festival in Northampton Mass. It was great and they are very nice people. Very high Energy Band. True Scot's men and Scot' women too.

¡Awesome herd of Celtic musicians! Greetings from a new Mexican fan.

They come and absolutely ROCK out Greenville SC every year at the Scottish Games Festival- they bless me EVERY single time OMG!!!

Fabulous sound guys! Keep up the great work!

I saw them this past Saturday at the south Florida Scottish festival, what a performance.

I love this music! Albannach rocks!

The long haired drummer makes so happy just watching

I would love to see them perform live,this music is amazing.

awsome. albanach, clanadonia and many other groups of this genre i look forward to enjoying. learning the bagpipes is something i've always wanted to do. if i did lean my grandfather-john lemuel welch senior would be proud. may he rest in peace. i love my family and my heritage. sorry about my spelling. cutty sark has a tendency to have this effect on me. god bless you all.

Hooray!!! This awesome band is playing at this years Ithaca Scottish Games & Celtic Festival, cannot wait! Saturday & Sunday, June 29th & 30th Stewart Park

The drums are downright primal!

best live band ever! :) love to see them again someday....

The drummer ads such a powerful vibe when he gives that warrior like shout

I love these guys fantastic absolutely

These guys came to my middle school North Davidson Middle School in Welcome N.C and rocked the joint it was awesome! this brings back memories.

THEIR MUSIC REACHES MY SOUL!!!!! Can't wait for GMHG 2010!!!!!!

Thanks for posting this great video! Perfect location for their performance, you filmed it from a great perspective (save for the man who walked in front of the video camera several times), and THANK YOU for panning the camera around to show the surrounding architecture, for those of us who could not visit Edinburgh ~ very enjoyable! :-)

I love Albannach and I love Scotland! It will forever be my second home!

Outstanding group. Wish we had them this month at our Pacific Northwest Highland Games in Enumclaw Washington, US.

I love ur music and ur proformance, I love so much

This guys are awesome!!! Absolutly amazing!!!

Beautiful music. I love it.

Ahh! The Scottish culture, the perfect representation of the dichotomy of struggle and grace. Who else is both tough enough and delicate enough to wear a kilt to battle?!

Scottish distiller's use peat, and malted barley. Irish whiskey is distilled 3 time's. Scottish usually only twice. Irish whiskey tend's to be a smoother than Scottish Whisky. That and the price difference, the best bottles of Scottish Whisky are far more expensive.

This is pretty awesome. I wish the recorded stuff was more like their live playing. The recorded songs tend to 'background' all that amazing drum work, and push the bagpipes forward as the main sound, which is such a shame. Live, you really get the wildness of those drums, and it is amazing.

I'm from Argentina, Love you people!

As an American of Irish, Scottish and Nordic descent, my half Mexican kids grew up listening to this music. Here in the states they're not taught about their tribal European heritage so I teach them.

Dope, Super Dope! Love n Blessings Family!!!

There is a difference between a National Heritage and an Ethnic one. Here in the US there are many people who say they are only American, but many who identify themselves as Irish American, Scottish American and so on. I am an Scottish American and can be proud of those Scots who came here to establish this Country such as James Wilson, John Paul Jones and many more. Without these great men this Country would not be here. Thank You Alba!!

Definitely sounds like something that'd happen before a rugby match, this'd really help build the atmosphere imo

Bloody marvellous...gota love the giant quasimodo guy. Awesome.

oh my God!!! you're so great!!! I love it so much, that drums rock!

all I can say is WOW!!! These people took my breath away and the gentlemen are very easy on the eye lol.

From their website: "The Albannach tartan was designed specifically for the band and our fans, to celebrate our love of Scotland. The colours chosen for this tartan represent Scotland, herself: - The bright blue and white are for the Saltire - The muted blue is for the numerous rivers and lochs throughout Scotland - The dark purple is for the heather and the thistle - The olive green is for the rolling hills - The red is for the blood of those who fought for Scotland - The black is for those who died in the name of freedom The threads in the “Saltire” section add up to 13 and the red threads add up to 14… these “Flag and Blood” sections are 1314, the year Robert the Bruce lead at Bannockburn to re-establish Scotland’s independence."

I had to cancel a trip to Scotland with them & missed out on finding out more info on Crosby clan who gave fealty to Robert the Bruce, were Celtic, Vikings & of the Tribe of Dan...& we also are Stewarts' & Bell's so quite a bit Scot & proud of it!

Thank you for making this video.

That was Awsome! 😊
