I know - I’ve played elbow pipes since I was a lad. Which is all the more reason to criticize highland pipes.

Good to know. Seems my first thought of Brian Boru was correct.
Am I wrong to assume you like Irish folk music?
I do.

I've been to Ireland a few times. Last time was in 2000. Went backpacking, around the South. Only went through Belfast to catch the ferry to Troon. Had a great time, I understand the appeal of backpacking. Met some fascinating people. Trivia; kissed the Blarney Stone on my first trip, in 1985.
