Pied Piper Parade

Spotted this request for musos to gather on Grafton Street 2:30pm Saturday for a "Pied Piper Parade", looks like it should be a fun day out.

Now if I could only find an Orange sash and a pair of bin lids for cymbols ;-)

Now boys girls and other!

The 12th of July is a great oul date lots of eejits havin
rows about where they can parada around with girly
orange scarves and big bellies....

Well we've got our own version coming up and everyones invited
do you play and instrument ?
Is it hand held?

Yes ? Yes?

there ya go you've passed with flying colours we are rounding up all types of musicians for our own July 12th march starting
off at 2.30 at the top of Grafton Street (Stephen's Green end) and
parading round the streets like the big eejits we are! and ending up in a big bash outside and inside the Blackfort Organic gallery on crow street!!!
Drums lots of them and didgeridoo's and triangles.... and guitars and the singing people and boys in dresses and anything else you can think of. Have we got a barbershop quartett?? not yet but we's trying.

Dear Jim,

Please can you fix it for me to have a Pied Piper Parade in Belfast's Donnegal Place on 12th July each year.

Thanks.

the route will be Sackville St, Rutland Sq and then back to the site of the illegal and sectarian declaration of a Republican Home Rule Papist Fenian state (GPO) Dublin?

[O' Connell st-Parnell st.]
I wish I could be there.

The electronic stuff IS going ahead. The Pied Piper march thing has been postponed a couple of weeks (darn Witnness and drumming festivals in Drogheda). Anyone want to help out with organising this, there's contact details at http://www.ballroomofromance.com/gallerygigs

And a sign of the increased level of tolerance in the south that people can accept the expression of anothers culture and tradition, well done Dublin!
