We’re hardly even in the door at the @balmoralshow and Giblet’s already won something, just for being magnificent, fabulous and gorgeous.

So today's colourful adventures saw The Absurdist Pipe Band entertain audiences from all over Kilkenny's medieval city and beyond.

A final day of fun is to be had on it's streets tomorrow.

@oakroyd Jeez, what a bunch of clowns. 🤪

These guys marched boldly through Tesco in Milngavie earlier. None of the music was Christmas related as far as I could make out. The only mitigation is that it said 'Absurdists' on the big drum.

We’ve got some wintery gigs coming up through November and December, Oban, Milngavie and Perth so far. Check out the dates on our ‘shows’ page and we hope to see you there. https://t.co/anc3ljjzAU

If only every station had a pub like Lancaster’s Tite & Locke. The cellar has windows and a fine selection of well kept beers and ciders

Well, that’s our time at the @roseoftraleefestival over for another year. Once again, thanks to everyone involved for having us, and to the people of Tralee for their smiles and laughs. It wouldn’t be the same, however, without @linnanesbar_tralee, genuinely the kindest, fri…

We’re here, a long awaited return to @roseoftraleefestival. Catch us around the streets of Tralee over the next few hours and over the whole weekend.

All the roses want their photo taken with us. Of course they do, we’re suave, sophisticated, debonair… and we have big shoes. Here are just a few of the many we have met over the years. To quote a wise man (Blotto), “They still write you know!”

[Absurdist Pipe Band @TheAbsurdistPB]

We had a great time in Peel today, come and join us tomorrow for more musical shenanigans and the carnival parade.

Giblet’s lifelong desire to be on @theclarechampion masthead, masked text and all, is fulfilled. We’ll never hear the end of this. (“The ‘anti social elements’ feature must be about the rest of the band” - Giblet.)
