:slight_smile: That was Neil and Bridget, all the way from Bonnie Scotland! Bridget also played the Bodhran.

Sadly I didn’t get a snap of the chap who played the spoons :frowning:

I was behind the camera of course, and although there was one photo of me, I’ve already explained what happened to it here: http://chiffboard.mati.ca/viewtopic.php?t=23965&start=18

Honest.

What is that pipe that Adrian is playing? :confused: Looks like a Northumbrian chanter with an Uilleann bass drone over the shoulder!

Cheers,

You hit the nail on the head Dave, that’s exactly what it is.
The chanter is a Dave Burley G sooped-up by Adrian who makes his own reeds
