Thread Name: Busking at the Cliffs of Moher
Subject: RE: Busking at the Cliffs of Moher
They are all the rage. Years ago I took a bunch of exchange students from my son's TY to Hag's head, one of the girls from his class (a Canadian) looked around and shouted 'I'll get married here'.
Some twenty years ago I received an email from an Ametican woman who wanted an uilleann piper to play at the foot of O'Brien's tower at the top of the Cliffs for their wedding. I am not really up for that sort of thing and I told them playing the uilleann pipes, and a flat set to boot, was a bit of a fool's errant in mid October (as was their plan). I thought of them on the night, it was force eight and horizontal rain.
Anyhow, landowners, celebrants and harpers are doing a roaring trade. I have seen several weddings in progress on my walks, hats flying and shivering bridesmaids and all.
Google Moher weddings, there's a bunch of websites catering for that sort of thing.
