FDNY bagpipers team up with Scotland’s Red Hot Chilli Pipers for special recording of 9/11 tribute song

They’re piping hot — and hoping to get hotter.

Two bagpipe bands who first came together to play for the families of the 343 FDNY members killed on 9/11 have reunited again for a special tribute on the 15th anniversary of the tragic terrorist attacks.

Willie Armstrong, a member of the Red Hot Chilli Pipers in Scotland and a retired firefighter, collaborated with FDNY firefighter and pipe major Jimmy Lee to make a special recording and video of the 9/11 tribute song “The Fallen.”

The tribute is available on iTunes Friday — and all proceeds go to the Scottish Fire and Rescue Family Support Trust and The FDNY Pipes and Drums, both non-profit organizations.
