Video: “Loch Lomond” at David’s

Slowly darkness falls over my garden and the torches are lit.

From my balcony I watch until I can play.

“Loch Lomond” is a well-known Scottish traditional. We play it also, with our torches and the bagpipes

After the song we play “Farewell to the Creeks”. It’s standing in “The Scottish Guards”. It’s also a traditional Scottish tune.

We can not do it here inside. So we’re going back to the garden

Have fun watching this video! “Loch Lomond” at David’s

So, enjoy!, David

Video: Jock Stuart at Balver Höhle

I now really start to feel the pressure of doing so many gigs in a month and trying to keep the video’s coming.

Really hope that you continue to support us on Patreon so I can change some things like editing on a better (faster) computer or letting somebody else do this and some other work that needs to be done for posting videos and livestreams.

Thank you so much for your help and understanding!

And the first headliner for Zomerfolk 2018 is…


Today we are high on Zomerfolk! This message was supposed to only concern the fact that the pre-sale for Zomerfolk 2018 will start on December 1st. And we wanted to tell you that we have something new for the first 200 visitors who buy a weekend ticket; the Early Bird Weekend Ticket + Special Surprise! But … we have managed to book such a fantastic band for our beautiful party that we can no longer keep it to ourselves.

And that is why we proudly announce, even before the presale starts, that none other than the world famous Red Hot Chilli Pipers will be on stage at Zomerfolk on June 10th, 2018! The most famous bagpipes band in the world, not to be confused with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, has been around since 2002 and these Scots know as no other to give the audience an unforgettable show. With Rapalje we have shared the stage with these great musicians several times and we are fans!

So enjoy the fun with us and do not forget to get your tickets as from 1 December (11:00 hrs). The holidays are coming, so this is a wonderful time to treat yourself or someone else to a unique experience! Will we see you on the 9th and 10th of June at the most beautiful folk festival in the Netherlands? And who of your friends and family should go as well?
