    I'll admit not to liking bagpipes till 2012 when we visited Edinburgh & a single bagpipe player made the sound echo round the castle making them sound superb, I was converted!

  4. Aaah...the accordian. Now you're talking. Nice bit of Cajun?

    Note that none of the blokes are wearing apparel like your daughter used to wear for PE...

  5. Used to love marching behind a pipe band when I was in the army, in Hong Kong in 1981 the Gurkha regiments had a fantastic pipe band. Loved it

    Bagpipes = cat in a microwave. Nothing pleasant about them.
     
  7. I would've said more "cat in blender", but we can agree to disagree :)

    I also like the Northumbrian Small Pipes & the Uilleann Pipes, maybe I'm just a weird olf folkie though



    but the Highland Pipes are still my favourite

     
  9. I prefer the tone of the Uillean pipes....softer and more plaintiff....but then again, they weren't designed to be used to rally soldiers...
     

  10. Well I love the pipes, and the Dropkick Murphys, ( re previous post)
