I'm the one in the middle, with the guy on the right trying out my Rogge D set.

Maybe I'll edit this to add something when I'm in a more forthcoming mood :devil: :devil: :devil:

Operating theatre?


Yes

(Séan was doing some reconstructive surgery on us all: excising bad habits, biopsying crans and triplets, augmenting tone, and a bit of colonic irrigation to get rid of all our crap)

Good idea for a thread. There are precious little photos of me piping but I've found one from last summer.

My teenage nephew and niece are reacting appropriately to my piping - incredulity and laughter.

My Aussie ex-pat mate (and fellow exile) John is on the bodhran.

In the background you can see my son Alan trying to open my pipecase. He has a habit of taking out my low whistle and blowing into it, usually while he has his mouth full of food. As a result, my low whistle always tastes funny.

My contribution to the Hall of Shame :wink: :

Taken of me playing my beloved C set at the local Irish Fair, a year ago, was it?
I forget. But I like it for the range of visible critiques you can see
on the faces of my stagemates, left to right:
being taken aback, utter disbelief, and boredom.
And no, I just look like I'm playing the regs. :wink:

Make this a sticky! I'm sure it will prove to be as popular as the famous 'Pictures Of Your Pipes' thread!

I like the idea, but we have a buttload of stickies already.
