  1. Local Pipers

    Share Share Post
    Tim "Haybags" as he was called went around from house to house playing the bagpipes. At night he stayed in the farmers' houses and he took potatoes from people as payment for playing.
    Another piper named Edmond Barrett also played the bagpipes and gathered copper.
    Thomas MacCarthy used to play for hire on the Castle Green in Ballybunion and he was the most famous piper in those days.
