Guy playing bagpipes in Dun Laoghaire

Tabnabs · 2009-07-05 14:12:18

Has anyone else heard this oddball playing his bagpipes on the pier in Dun Laoghaire? I have no idea if he's busking or just not the full shilling :confused: Doesn't he know the Irish gave the bagpipes to the Scot's as a joke, but the Scot's haven't seen the joke yet? :pac:

I passed him today when walking down the East pier. There was a note in the hat saying that he also gave lessons. Not the best location for self-promotion, surely. I mean it's not like anyone actually wants to hear bagpipes when they're going for a walk down the pier?
