...I've got the radio on in the background and they have bagpipers playing at the Cenotaph.

By heck, what an awful racket.  The "drone" tone seems to be all over the place;  I presume somebody's hit a duff note and can't hear it over all the rest of the noise.  It's putting my teeth right on edge.  Whoever's in charge of it must be cringing.  It sounds like angry bees attacking a herd of camels.

I vote next year they replace the pipers with a primary school zither-recorder-and-drums band, with some monkeys playing violins to tone it up a bit.

Change the radio station then  :-({|=  :-({|=  :-({|=

Eeyore:
I don't think it's a case that TheLobster is commenting on the radio station, but more about incompetant musicians at a national memorial event  :wink:

I was listening because I wanted to hear the remembrance service. It just struck me that for some reason the pipers weren't up to the high standards of the rest of the bands.  When they did Skye Boat Song they were fine, but later on things seemed to go downhill.

daveyravey:
Sorry, I wasn't having a dig there.

There's good pipers & there's pipers, seems like they were the latter.
