    This looks like the junction of The Quay and Charles Street.

    Googling: The JFK Dunbrody festival seems to be held every July. JFK visited in 1963, and The Dunbrody is a replica famine ship. I don't know what the New Ross summer festival was called in 1972, but something with JFK in the name is a good bet!
  • Niall McAuley said:
    Indeed, if you go to that google maps link above and turn around, you'll see the statue of JFK unveiled by his sister in 2008!

    Pity the shot wasn't taken when the big drum was in view as the name of the band is traditionally put up on that! A Scottish band is unlikely and the one thing I can say categorically is that it was not the Limerick Pipe band as their kilts were traditional Irish saffron! The New Ross Pipe Band was formed in 1974 so it ain't them either.

    This picture cannot be from 1935 as the car pictured looks to be a 1962 Rambler American.

    Bagpiper uniform is the No.1 Full Highland Dress at most weddings and events. The piper’s “No.1 Full Highland Dress” was originally worn by pipers of the historic Highland regiments. “No.1s” were then adopted first by the Govan Police, and when pipe bands took off in the early 20th century, by numerous other police, colliery and civilian pipe bands. Indeed, the No.1 Full Highland Dress was worn by virtually all Scottish pipers and pipe bands until the 1980s when the Strathclyde Police Pipe Band adopted “Day Dress” as their bagpiper uniform due to the No.1 dress being so heavy, impractical, and not to mention very expensive to purchase and maintain. However, as practical as Day Dress is, it provides nowhere near the visual spectacle as a piper dressed smartly in No.1 Full Highland Dress. Source: www.scottishbagpipers.com/bagpiper-uniform-tour/
