Bagpipes with attitude.
Drums with a Scottish accent. A blazing rock band and show so hot, it
carries its own health warning!
“These are my boys!” exclaimed Sir Paul McCartney after rocking out to a
Chilli performance.
“Awesome!” said film star Ewen McGregor after he guested on drums with
the Chillis
“Gotta get me some of that Red Hot Chilli Pipers! I WANT some!” tweeted actor Samuel Jackson
after seeing the band perform on NBC in the summer of 2012
It’s Bagpipes. It’s Rock. It’s Bagrock. AC/DC meets the poet Robert
Burns. Where rock anthems sit comfortably alongside the great tunes from the
glens and the mountains of Scotland. It’s The Red Hot Chilli PIPERS – (NOT the
Peppers!) — a 9-piece ensemble consisting of pipers, guitarists, keyboards,
and drummers — who have been rocking the world from New York to Beijing to
Melbourne and everywhere in between with musicianship of the highest order and
a passion for pipes that will leave you breathless. The band has four music degrees from the
Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and all the pipers and drummers have
played at the top level in bagpiping.
Since they walked away with the top prize on the primetime TV talent
show, “When Will I Be Famous” in the U.K. in 2007, the Red Hot Chilli Pipers
haven’t stopped for a breath, other than to inflate their bagpipes! Formed in 2002, The Chillis have fast become
a global phenomenon, taking their signature ‘Bagrock’ sound to the masses with
their unique fusion of rocked up Bagpipes and clever covers of popular songs
from all genres. Their trademarked sound
is a unique fusion of traditional pipe tunes – like “The Flowers of Scotland”,
“The Hills of Argyll”, and “Amazing Grace” (done Chilli-style, of course!) —
and contemporary anthems like Queen’s “We Will Rock You”, “Clocks” by Coldplay,
“Chasing Cars” by Snow Patrol, “Let Me Entertain You” by Robbie Williams, and a
fantastic rock medley of “Deep Purple”, “Smoke on the Water”, and AC/DC’s
“Thunderstruck”.
