Police Pipes visit Brownsholme


A visit last week by the Police Pipes and Drums to Brownsholme Retirement Village had more than 40 of them tapping to jigs and reels, and swooning to The Skye Boat Song and Amazing Grace.
Even Irish tunes like Maggie, It’s a Long Way to Tipperary, and When Irish Eyes Are Smiling (played on Scottish bagpipes) had everyone smiling.
