Pipers are not always surly trouble makers and heres a chance to prove it. Can you think of a funny caption to go with this photo.

Who made the set?
I really think you should plug it in first.
“Dia duit…conás ata tú?”
“go dona…go raibh maith agat!”
This pic gives ‘the fear’…I’ll have nightmares now 
Is his head just lumpy, or is that his pink brain which has enlarged and displaced the entire top of his skull?
I’m perfectly willing to believe that piping can do that to you.
Looks like a character from a Gumby episode I never saw. Now they can have a session:
Gumby better get those chords right or he’s toast. Pokey already looks like he’s had a few. Watch him, or he’ll try out the regs.
This is what happens if you dont slap on your sun factor 50 when out busking.

“I am not an animal! I. am. a. human. being…”
“You’d be a dummy to buy a Pakistani full set!”
“Piper sees shadow; six more weeks of squeaks.”
My tiny wee resonator on my bass drone makes me feel completely inadequate.
The piping puppet is the property of the great Pat Power of Tramore Co Waterford ,who has been a street performer for many years. Here’s a youtube clip of his show from a few years ago.

Unfortunately Pat Powers pink piping puppet was not a part of the group in 2003, but you can see from the other members of the group he fits in just great. Pat has the piper set up that when switched on his bellows arm moves in and out.Pat himself is a great singer and mandola player and is one of the greatest characters you’ll meet anywhere, long may he continue.
