Subject: RE: St Piran's Day
LOL Greg,
There is a serious note to this, a friend of ours was BOOKED to play the ENGLISH pipes on St Georges Day in Launceston, Cornwall, he received publicity from the local press and radio before the event, by way of advertising and subsequently received several threatening e-mails, suggesting he took his English pipes back to England, to play them and to KEEP OUT of Cornwall! The threats were so unpleasant he did just that!
I hope this Irish Guy has better luck, imposing on a CORNISH festival could lead to him being THROWN off the cliff, if my friends e-mails were anything to go by!
Perhaps next year I could persuade the chaps at Bude to organise that all those bad bodhran players lead the parade over the cliffs!

............Ducks out quick!
Cheers Lucy
