Neil Parker playing a modified six hole pipe,  extremely effectively.  I wish that I had taken more photographs of his pipes,  the top three holes were blocked off and a thick string loop fixed to the underside to allow the thumb to support the pipe and played with three fingers on the bottom three holes. ( No holes on the underside ).

Neil has for several years been the "Fat red man with a drum" at the Hastings Jack in the Green Celebrations,  well worth a visit around May-day weekend.
