Deaf as a Pipe Band

The BBC is today running a news item on loud pipe bands. Read it here and note that the drummers were louder than pipers! The band reported was the Wick British Legion Band at http://www.wickpipeband.org/index.htm.

** Pipes drumming up jet engine roar **A Highland pipe band is given a health warning after it was found to be making more noise than a jet engine.< http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/1/hi/scotland/highlands_and_islands/6402701.stm >

The lone Mendicant Piper of Princes Street should be given an ASBO-not for loud playing but for murdering some of the finest pipe music. He is also reluctant to play unless he has a well heeled audience of at least 15 Japanese tourists. Sadly he gets a lot of those.
