The Tattoo in Edinburgh UK is full of colour and spectacular atmosphere second to none, and makes it one of the best events to see during national holidays to Edinburgh or indeed seeing it as a local on the grand stands looking over Edinburgh Castle, the Edinburgh City and it’s esplanade.
There are also mini tattoo shows which take place in Edinburgh’s Princes Street Gardens and in George Square, Glasgow if you fancy seeing something a little different from the Edin Tattoo itself.

I produced this video using my Hi8 camera after gaining permission from Alan Smith , Marketing Manager for the Edin Tattoo. It was a great opportunity for me which I will never forget listening to the sound of bands up close and from above. I recently re edited this video, shortening it down from an hour which included a behind the scenes look at the show which I’ve taken out as the footage slowed down the pace of the video. If you liked my video, feel free to comment and check out my other videos and parts of this one.
I remember the fire of the canons at the beginning and the hairs which still today stand on the back of my neck. Personal highlights over the years include the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Steel Orchestra, HM Kings Guard of Norway and the glorious sounds of the Massed Bands of the Royal Marines not to mention the Singapore Police Pipes and Drums which visited Edinburgh in 2008.

The TV advertisement for the 2009 Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo, the world’s largest annual indoor show, that has been described in the media as “…a night that’s part Cirque du Soleil in its variety and inventiveness, yet pure Gaelic sentiment too, and one of the most moving nights of entertainment I’ve ever experienced!”

Can you guess what I’m going to tell you about this song? =) Just kidding! This is a cover from an Irish/Folk band that I listen to! They are amazing and I thought it would be cool to play a song sung by a man in a woman’s key. Fun stuff. Enjoy, comment, rate, have fun =)
