Go.

For me, I was with a girl about four years ago, and for some reason, just because I was Scottish... she thought she'd get me a pipe but my introduction was she'd bought me the Blair Chanter of all things to buy me didn't even know it existed or what it was she went straight out to buy the top of the range electric chanter that there is and the last time I touched the chanter she's married to somebody else now she's married to somebody else now but the only good thing that came out of the relationship was the Blair Chanter Oh, you'll be, oh, she's not listening.

I hope she is.

The last time I touched a chanter, I must have been about 10 years old in the boys' brigade up in Edinburgh.

And I thought, I better learn to play this thing after I'm buying it.

And she lived about half an hour from Accrington.
