Discovered Concerts

In Dingle(town), on the western coast of Ireland, we scheduled four or five days to take in the sights. That is a privilege we have due to retirement. As we were walking the streets we saw several signs for a celtic music concert to be held in the local church. We decided that we would go after dinner. I do not remember the cost, although it seemed inexpensive. That night several people were playing. One was on a violin and another on a guitar.  The one that fascinated me was a man who played what is essentially electric bagpipes. There is a small compressor rather than a bag and the pipe is held in the hand rather than blown. In my photo above, this is the instrument on the left. It does not have the continual moan of the bagpipe and instead has a flute like quality. Never heard one before, but really enjoyed the concert. (You will note that while it was past eight in the evening, the light is still coming in the window. This is due to the fact that Ireland's  latitude is much higher than we have come to expect.)
