The Uileann Piper

I was in Dublin Saturday where I shot a whole pile of photos. Decided to make a facebook album of some of them, all studies of people in the city. Will have it uploaded by Sunday night in case you want to check it out.
This guy is playing a very traditional set of Irish pipes. Unlike the Scottish bagpipes, the bag of the Uileann Pipes is inflated by squeezing it under the elbow as you can see here. In the Irish language, "Uileann" is our word for elbow. Simple reason for the name eh?
