For someone who has faced into so many health challenges your skill and creativity with the bagpipes and your positive mental attitude its is truly inspiring. +1 on the bagpipe emoji

Ally, I'm rooting for you in everything that you are doing. As an older follower I get a thrill out of your exuberance, positivity and professional abilities. I started following you this past year and am excited to follow and cheer my favorite Piper!! BTW...I sold my old cane sword, made in the 30's, a couple of years ago and I now regret it after seeing this video. Good luck my lady in the next year's adventures and, please, always keep the positivity, ambition and drive you have forever. Looking forward to your 2023!! Your Boomer fan...LOL 😎💖👍

Ally, you’re such a sweetheart, a jewel in a crazy mixed up world, it warms my heart knowing that you’re out there. Thank you.

So excited for you for 2023 Ms Ally I know you will knock it out of the park this year…shine on..you’re a star.Always in the front row of your balcony, Ms Ally…rooting you on ..with a smile 😊

Made a little typo on one of my chronic illnesses by the way: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome!

I hope you have a great year full of new adventures Ally ❤

Ally, you are AWESOME! You're a true inspiration to people like myself and someone the wonderful world of Celtic music is lucky to have. Never stop being you and here's to a cracking 2023! ☺🍀

Thank for doing what you do!! You are an amazing talented artist!! Keep up the great work and your success will continue to grow.

Happy New Year You are young, talented beyond belief and beautiful. There is nothing that is going to stop you in this world. You will overcome any obstacle on your path to glory! We, the viewers, just got lucky enough to watch you do it! So you go girl. Make great things happen and beautiful music at the same time. Oh and send us a video now and then to show us just how amazing you are and how wonderful things are going for you!

Happy New Year Ally! Love all your posts and am glad you are on the mend from your bout with Covid! ❤Your Shorts are a lot of fun but the full length songs are fabulous and the collaborations are amazing! Can't wait for the Album! Have a great 2023!!!

Your Auld Lang Syne video was surreal as I literally listened to it right after the ball dropped in Miami! Cheers And great work!

A family member of mine has the POTS/RA/EDS too. I'm glad your RA is amazing. Finding a good one is so worth it. I am looking forward to your 2023 solos, collaborations, and new music. Pipe on!

This has been good lit'l angel! I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I feel your pain with the joints popping. I will be 70 in March so I should have a few aches and pains. Good luck in the new year and I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Ally is always a smile for my day.

Just keep doing what you’re doing Ally! Your passion for your craft is what makes you shine! Would love to know the story behind your Robertson’s though, that is a definite video to do! Hope 2023 is a kick ass year for you!

You got this!! Just keep being who you are, and success is inevitable. Doing what you love can be a lot of work, but it's more rewarding when people truly appreciate it for the love that you put into it. Coming from a music background myself, I totally understand. You truly have a talent and a drive that is unmatched by many. Love your music and all that you are doing! Happy New Year, and God bless!

I can't wait to hear what you come up with because I enjoy listening to you play your pipes and you're multiple instruments and I was very shocked that you are a very good singer I can't wait to see what you come up with next

Hey Ally. I love your music and videos. If you want to explore nontraditional pairings with bagpipes, you might consider bluegrass music. It developed around Kentucky and Tennessee, the same area where a lot of Irish and Scots who didn't stay in the eastern cities eventually settled once they got to America. This would include instruments like fiddle, harmonica, hammered dulcimer, and guitar among others. I think it could produce some amazing music. Ricky Skaggs is a well-known bluegrass musician but there are many others. Kinda a pairing of the old-old world and the new-old world. Good luck with your health. I know how those long term illnesses can be. Keep doing what you do and I will look forward to it.

Love your work, your shorts are always entertaining and fun to watch!

It was a joy to see you grow as an artist. Lots of success in the immediate future to you and your associates.

So fun to see you post a video like this! I love your music and everything you do, keep up the amazing work it has been wonderful to follow you trough 2022 and I'm exited to see what 2023 will bring! I'm really curious to see if there will be a bag pipe emoji too! And all your costumes you make! Everything you do is just so good! Take care of you! Greetings from Sweden! 🤗🤗

Full length music videos would be awesome followed by behind the scenes making of video's showcasing just how much effort you put into your content. Wishing you awesome success as you move forward. Happy New Year

yeah, a quality sword cane will support you without a problem (don't ask how i know), but you won't be able to air travel with it but if it's well done most people won't even know unless you unsheath it. years ago i got mine at an antique store and they had a couple of other sword canes (not as nice), but also had a couple of sword umbrellas. when i went back, the owner wouldn't sell any more of them to me (). i left it with my dad until he passed because i knew he liked it (like the bagpipe music😆). i wish you the best for 2023.

Good for you, I have no doubt you will accomplish these goals. Be Well, Be Strong!

Congratulations on all your accomplishments this past year. I can’t wait for all your plans for this coming year. Yes to the bagpipe emoji!

Wishing you every success in 2023! Love your music.

This has been an amazing video and sharing your personal life . Thank you!

Happy New Year! ❤

Happy New Year young lady and everyone else

Ally, your channel is fantastic. Love Celtic music and pipes. I’ve been a competitive piper in Ontario for many years and love hearing you play. Keep the vids and the music coming. 👍👍

WOW!!! That was Awesome! Definitely looking forward to seeing more videos like this! Happy New Year!

Ally, very impressive. Your life is an inspiration for all of us

Thank you for sharing information about your health struggles. I have a 6 year old who was diagnosed with RA when she was only 18 months old, and RA in young people is so rarely discussed. I hope you and your rheumatologist continue to have success with your treatment plan.

Just saw this video that's been out for the past 2 weeks. No idea why I'm not getting notifications. You are an amazing talent. Good luck with all your endeavors. I will continue to watch your videos.

❤ you are truly amazing Ally.

You Are Absolute STUNNING !!! And I Thank You Soooo Much For Sharing Your Beauty To The World !!!!

Gonna pray for your healing to manifest! You make my day to hear you play and to see your pretty smile!!

Allie the Piper, your presentation is what sells! Keep it up, I'll keep watching 👍

You are an amazing artist, love your music, looking forward to what you share with us in 2023. Hello from Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

Happy New Year Ally

Happy new year Ally 🙂🙃

Good luck to you, I enjoy your music a lot.

Relax, enjoy the journey, it will be magnificent! Thanks for sharing your talents and thoughts. Happy New Year ...

Congratulations on all of your accomplishments! May God bless you that you will find resolutions to your health issues. I wish you all the very best, Ally! Come play in Utah! One last thing... SCOTLAND!!!😀

What a year you've had Ally! Even bigger year ahead for sure 😁 As for collabs, you have to get something pencilled in with the one and only Gary Innes!! You should do a collab next time you're in Scotland!

Sounds like a productive year, and some great plans for 2023. Definitely get the struggle with self-promotion. I understand the importance if I ever hope to make a living off writing, but it flies right into the face of my anxiety.

Ally, your amazing. I'm so happy that I found your KZfaq / TikTok. Listing to your music got me playing my bagpipes again after so many years. So thank you!!! Do you have any tip for someone trying learn bagpipe again and anywhere find fun music to learn play ? Happy new year to you and best of luck this year 🙂

I have to say I hope all your dreams come true because I can see how hard you work at this and happy New Year to you and your loved ones

Aw baby girl! You got a Paul Reed Smith!? Groovy! By the way congratulations on your album,I'll keep you on my prayer list,forever,you're goin' places,mama!

Your awesome Ally! I hope to see you when you come over to the UK! I love the fact that you enjoy classic weapons - they are works of art ⚔️ simular in some ways with musical 🎶 instruments 🎻 are works of art in their own right. Totally agree, with the bag pipes emoji 😉 I think a collage video of you in Edinburgh, the Highlands and Ireland playing the pipes would be awesome... God bless you 🙏 Atb Gus👍

All the best for the coming year

Ally- In addition to Patty Gurdy and Fiddler's Green video "The Yule Log", check out her video "The Longing". The tones the hurdy gurdy makes are like a bagpipe and fiddle combined, and Patty is quite accomplished. You and your pipes would not be out of place in that song. Don't miss it.

Faye is a pretty puppy! 🐶 Best of luck to you in 2023. 😊

really stoked for your story living your truths and overall processes & progress, forever kinda love from New Zealand (esp the BAGPIPE EMOJIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii) 💓

My greetings from Brussels, Belgium. Happy, healthy 2023

I wish you the best and health :) You are an amazing woman. Keep doing whatever you want to do. Greetings from Germany 😊

I am really very grateful to see you are success because you do such a great job and you put your heart into it. I hope that you achieve everything that you want for 2023 and I'm waiting for that bagpipe emoji as well

Congratulations for your health taking care. Good for U , Bravo !!

Have a happy new year 🎉

Keep on rocking Piper Princess

Happy New Year, from here in stinking hot South Australia! 🥵 You did very well on your resolutions! 🙂👍 Mine are carrying over from 2020! I've got to release my music, which means actually saying, "This mix is finished!" 😁 Have a great year! Xo 🙂👍

Ally, I said it before and I will say it again. You are an amazing person and a true American treasure.

I'm scottish 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 and we definitely need a bagpipe emogi and your music is amazing ally

Just be the best "you" that you can be, Ally. That's all that anyone can strive to be. Follow your own heart. Don't compromise your values. Stay as healthy as you can, not only for yourself but for your family & fans. Always believe in yourself; others will follow your lead. Keep making collabs with Mia and everyone else, too! 🤘😎🤘 💚💚 Ally 💚💚

You are so interesting, well I know what ever you put your mind to, you can do it! Have a great new year!

Happy New Year from France 🇫🇷

ally happy your feeling better ,cheers to that☕ 🍻

Glad to hear that you’re doing more on KZfaq, thats the only platform I follow. And holey $hit, that Covid on canes sounds awefull!! To good luck and good health for you 🍻🥃🍻🥃

Hi, As a long term Chronic RA person, the current medicines are fantastic, and I live a totally normal pain free life now. So, the prognosis is good! Best wishes for your continue treatment plan! 😀

Stay healthy young and amazing piper.

Hahaha, You have changed a lot! That's a great thing! Keep up the great music and keep on going with your adventure. I feel like it would be cool If sometime you are able to brace yourself and learn how to fight like a viking. If you want to know how to do this just ask! Keep on keeping on! Skall!

Hello from Liverpool England Ally. A beautiful lady with so much talent. Have a wonderful 2023. 💖

Ally, How long have you been playing thr bagpipes? I love listening and watching you play. You are amazing! Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us. I do like your educational videos and would like to learn more. I think your goals for 2023 are fabulous!

Best for luck with everything! For the Album I'd love a full version of the Tangled "kingdom dance" cover you did with Mia Asano and Malinda ✨

I feel that Ashley MacIsaac (he is a fiddler from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia) would be an awesome person for you to collaborate with. He also uses a traditional instrument to play both traditional music and also bring his own sound into other genres.

How about playing with the Harp Twins! Hope all of your dreams come true! I will pray for your health problems! And your music definitely helps my health problems! 🙏🙏🙏

Omnia & Wardruna would be insane collabs!

A very happy new year to you from a fan in Denmark 🌷❤🌹

Kudos, Miss Ally.

I have MS. I know the challenges of autoimmune diseases. The advances in treatment are promising but prayers and don’t let it define you. I have created a bungee / climbing harness that I wear while on treadmill. It gives me the ability to run/walk safely. I’m sure it would be good for training.

To me I hope you follow my drift That the pipes speak to the soul And you are the proof of that every generation has a next step I used to be a weightlifting instructor and have been told that I inspired at least one if not two Makes my life worthwhile

Happy New Year

Merch idea, maybe have a calendar of you with all those amazing costumes. Your energy is infectious. It's truly wrong there's no bagpipe imoge. Maybe Billy Connolly would help you get one. ☮️❤️🇨🇦

Great job hitting your goals. Excited to see what you have going forward this year. For collabs Tim Foust or Geoff Castelluci.

Sweet. Sorry to hear that you have such hurdles in your life. Glad you are positive about dealing with them. Have you familiarized yourself with Joy by Apollo 100? I mentioned it previously. I'm going to listen to it again after I finish this. Happy New Year!!

Looking forward to your vid on your Robertson bagpipes.

Speaking of sword canes, when you are on tour make sure to check the weapons laws in EVERY state you will be in, or may be diverted to. Edged weapons including dirks and daggers are flat out illegal in some states, and if found in a car may be ruled as the property of everyone in the car. You may find concealed weapons laws apply to them too. It will be a PITA to check but the internet will make that much easier than it used to be. NY, NJ, CT, MA, PA are all known to be a bit rabid about this all. Except your "emergency glass breakage" hammer.(g) I'm sure you can find good armorers on the Ren Fair circuit who can find ingenius solutions.

Hello Ally from Saskatoon Saskatchewan 🇨🇦 .love ❤️ your music 🎶

History of the bagpipes from a woman's perspective would make for great content. The first one you did was really great and very educational.

I just admire you. I wish that luck is your constant companien.

GOOD JOB with Ur recent Melodies of Christmas!!!

Thanks for showing your CD… didn’t know you had music out there(new sub) Just downloaded everything you have from Apple Music! 👍

Great video Ally, love your music. Three artist that I would like to see you colab with is Mary Spender, Brandon Acker & Rob Scallon, all three are known for guitar but they do play other instruments as well and also like to do stuff that's out off the box. And as a South African I would love to see you work with The Kiffness, I think skip the rest and start with him. Hope you have a great 2023, looking forward to the all the future videos.

Would love to see you rock one out with an original tune as a classic and rock mix with Sophie Lloyd!😃

Hey Ally, this is a great video and i love the resolutions you have put out for yourself. Would you be up for putting out live Q&A?

Happy New Year..... All the best for 2023, Sward sticks or canes are illegal in the UK as well,.... Not sure if it is illegal to own one, or if it just illegal to cary one out in public. Q.1 How did you get into playing the bagpipes? Q.2 what are your dogs called?

that was a lovely video Ally.i look forward to following you in 23.you have a lot of plans but your mum might be disappointed they dont include a grandchild for her to spoil !!.thank you for entertaining us.

Work with The Coors from Ireland. Wishing you much health this year. God bless. 😀

Congrats

Red is BEAUTIFUL
