Take a listen to Adam Quinn of Clearwater, a world-class bagpiper, perform a rousing number at a local pub.

Bagpipe virtuoso Adam Quinn gives a rousing performance at Flanagan's Pub in Dunedin in this YouTube video posted on May 11. "Give Adam a couple of pints and you get amazing tunes like these at Flanagan's Pub," was the wry comment by DPB (Dunedin Pipe Band), which posted the video. Quinn is front man and founding member of Lucid Druid, a Celtic-fusion band out of Clearwater that Patch profiled in 2011. The band got its start at the Dunedin Brewery's open mic night. Quinn also has been a competitive piper internationally for two decades. He is well known in Dunedin.

Bagpipe Karma Comes Back to Dunedin Brewery

Kandi Bryant, owner of Dunedin Brewery, bought raffle tickets in hopes of winning a set of bagpipes to make up for a set her son lost 12 years ago.

It may have taken 12 years, but karma finally came back around for the Bryant family. Kandi Bryant, owner of Dunedin Brewery, bought three raffle tickets in hopes of winning a $1,600 set of McCallum bagpipes from Lothian Kilt Rentals and Bagpipe Supplies for a City of Dunedin Pipe Band fundraiser in September. Her son Michael Bryant, 29, had lost his new $850 set in April 2000, when he was just 16. He drove off after punk band practice with them still sitting on the back of his van. In what was believed to be a serendipitous turn of events, a St. Petersburg Times reporter connected them with a truck driver from Illinois who was placing a "found" ad in Times classifieds for their missing set, according to an April 13, 2000 story in the St. …
