JG teaching NFL legends Steve Smith & Danny Shelton how to play bagpipes
I was teaching a couple of NFL dudes, Steve Smith & Danny Shelton, how to play bagpipes in Edinburgh recently!
They were here as part of the NFLUK tour and at the time were also getting fitted for kilts in Geoffrey Tailor Kiltmakers on the Royal Mile, Edinburgh. One of the lads had size 16 feet so no ghillie brogue in the shop would fit him! They had a go at playing a few notes on the chanter and holding the pipes. Nice lads and good sports.
