Building Buys A Pint...for Buro Happold

摘要

A Scotsman, a Welshman and an Irishwoman walk into a pub ... There is a distinctly Celtic feel to our evening in the Bricklayer's Arms. It all kicks off with Alasdair's boast about his bagpipes. Apparently his mum's to blame. "She got angry with me for refusing to play the recorder at the Scouts, so I decided to teach her a lesson," he says. The many, and painful, years of practice paid off and Alisdair was the star act at his cousin's wedding last year.rnSinead's story has a less happy ending. At a recent party, she decided she would treat her guests to arntraditional Irish performance. "I got my dad to send a few tin whistles over from Ireland. We practised and practised and practised - until the next door neighbours tipped a bucket of water over us."
