Hi Anthony, thanks for your blog reviewing the tour from a 'pipers' perspective. I got to fly over from the UK to see the show twice in Dublin, absolutely amazing, and it's no wonder you enjoyed every minute of the tour in great company. I'm sorry I never got to meet you at The Olympia, it was a bit manic that night, the foyer was packed and with all the excitement of the platinum discs the boys were flying. I expect to be seeing the show as many times as I can now, either here in the UK (god willing) or in Ireland next year. Timi and I are planning a two week Irish 'tour' of our own to meet each other and see the Kings perform. Hopefully I will get to see you then. Take care. Caz

Hi Anthony,

great look, great instrument! But I'm missing some song tracks of the Arklow Pipe Band at your Diddlyi's page. ;-)

Anthony,
Great to meet up with you on Diddlyi. The concerts with THK were great and we look forward to having you back in Texas soon. I love your pic's from the tour and hope you post more. I have many of you from Boston, Pensacola and Dallas. We love the Bag Pipes and would like to hear you play the Uileann Pipes.
Cheers with the tour in Ireland...Charlie and Norma from Dallas

Hi Anthony, my friends Timi, Ruth, Norma and Charlie have all been saying nice things about you from the US tour! I am in the UK but finally get my chance to see the show this weekend when I fly over to Dublin. I know Shane and Andy aren't doing the Irish tour, will I be seeing you there?
