You'll definitely need to bring WHISKY. (Whiskey with an 'e' is Irish.)

Just thought I'd challenge Axl for the title of Band Pedant!

Lesson 2
Whisky and bagpipes are actually weapons of war to be used against the English. When deployed correctly, these weapons can reduce your victim to a gibbering heap.

Surely whisky is the best anasthetic for the ears to counter the effects of bagpipes?

Don't you mean "deployed badly" ? Cos bagpipes are ok. Bad bagpipes are evil...

I think I'm a closet piper, can I get pills for that?
