Overheard in our house last night: Dad to daughter who has English friends staying, "..and you'll be able to hear the Lambeg drums as well"
Son (18) to Dad " What , seriously? we will be able to hear them? but Thats like MILES away!"
Oh how I laughed but not LOL! ( cringe :bad pun)

They are marching about a war that was over 300 years ago and yet our brave soldiers who fought and died in WW1 and WW2 dont get any recognition

The soldiers of WW1 and 2 do get recognition. There's banners commemorating them. Take a closer look at the banner being carried at the front of the bands.

Regards the lambeg drums, I love them, especially when the fife is played with them.

That is what the mini 12th on the 1st July is all about. The WWI and the Battle of the Somme.

Oh My, one night of celebration out of 365 and the complaints still come:rotfl:

Luckily you aren't living near a night club, but maybe the drunken part doesn't annoy you, its just those nasty loyalists.
