Joe Harrington

Great scenes.

The patrons of The Oliver Plunket bar on Oliver Plunket street in Cork were treated to a surprise gig in the early hours of this morning.

Manager of the bar Steve Guiney told JOE what happened,

“At 12.20am on Paddy’s night we heard these guys marching down the street piping away so we started filming them.

“All of a sudden they turned and walked into our bar without missing a beat! Great fun! They ended up playing along with our midnight band Poc ar Buil.”

Here’s the footage.

What can i say,after midnight on Paddy's Day and we get the Amarillo Pipe Band from Texas up the street and into the bar #welovecork #paddysday
