Ach, any oul excuse!

If you’ve not had a look yet, check out the Britain and Ireland photo story on the Paddy’s Day Parade in London. This guy’s my favourite. He wasn’t too fussed about Patrick, the Irish or multiculturalism, but he wasn’t going to give up the chance to lash out a few tunes and get in a few bob. There was influences from everywhere in the parade, even the obvious one from London’s biggest summer jamboree, the Notting Hill Carnival. You can pick up the whole set here, or see it as a slideshow here.
