RE: Piping contests: Pit Piping

Post by patsky »

I think that we should revive Uillean "Pit Piping" : Two pipers in a ring surrounded by fans and critics, pipe until one of them eithers gives up and admits defeat or until one of them dies. The grand championship should definately be to the death.

Pipers must wear an "outfit" similar to wrestlers.

No kicking, eye gouging or piping below the belt.

For the gamblers, the points spread could be based on the number of tunes.


All the best,

No . . . piping below the belt.
But Pat, that means no tight playing!

It just takes two stages far enough apart to separate the crowd. Go with the crowd.
