Quintet practicing for busking at Barker. The pipers are: Joshua Ang, Nicklaus Lim & myself. The drummers are: Brandon Choo & Tan Bin Soon. There are mistakes here and there, please bear with it, it’s a practice after all.

You can see us playing La Boum, Captain Horne, Barney’s Balmora and Epic.

As the sun is setting, the video is getting darker. We played Itchy Fingers, drum solo (Itchy Fingers), Itchy Fingers – Reprise, Banjo Breakdown & Paddy’s Leather Breeches.

Now, the sky is so dark that you can’t even see our faces clearly. That’s when we decided that this will be the last practice tune. We practiced Walking on Air, Burnin’ down the mountain, Paddy be Easy, Rocking the Baby.
