Thread Name: Audlem Bagpipe and Hurdy Gurdy day 2003
Subject: RE: Audlem Bagpipe and Hurdy Gurdy day.
I was in Audlem on Monday morning - they've won the title of "Cheshire's Vibrant Village 2005". How about that then! One elderly lady said that all this vibrating was getting too much for her.

Mr Happy, thanks for the links. Hope you get out of the maize maze.

GUEST,leeneia: There seemed to be a vogue for raspy/flatulent-sounding instruments at that time. In addition to the gurdies we sometimes have a rackett, crumhornes etc. One enthusist in the village has made a couple of tromba marinas.

Dave cello : Don't worry, we often have a cello in our Monday session.
