With a Guinness thread already up and running, this is the very place to comment.
This year's St Patricks Day promotion (in the U.K.) will be offering big Guinness hats (similar to last year's) and small plasticised Bodhrani (correct plural???).The pubs have also received a small supply of 'face paints' (perish the thought)
Last years gifts were large hats and mini fiddles, the fiddles were electronic, and putting the wire of the bow in contact with any two of the 'strings' produced an individual note from one of half-a-dozen tunes. Repeating the action with suitable timing did allow any of the tunes to be played. The tunes included 'Auld Langs Syne', 'Ode to Joy', 'You Are My Sunshine' and 'Greensleeves'. Clearly a very Irish selection
