Hair of The dog in the main music tent
Kevin McKrell and The Hard Road Céilidh Band
The fellow on the left played a strange drum that looked exactly like a stereo speaker but sounded like several different types of congas and bongos depending where he hit it. I wish I knew what it was. He played it either with thimble-like finger tips or a set of jazz drummer type brushes.
The massed bands at the closing ceremonies took place under the main tent. All the bands entered the tent from all sides and just stood among the crowd. I’ve never seen a massed band performance like it before. The sound was deafening but it really made you feel like part of the event.
To wrap the pics up I’ll close with this piper wearing an…um…unusual hat. I believe you could call it a mohat. Note too the drummer next to him with his beer sitting on his drum head while he plays.
