bwhahaha! I love the bit he Rams through a Garda checkpoint and no one even notices... what a legend. He keeps looking over at his fare as if you say "how do you like them apples" lolol
... first laugh of the day. excellent
Dear God. the effect this music has on some people. I have a feeling that this bit of footage could travel. Let's hope that he doesn't get the job of chauffeuring the Queen when she arrives here in May.
I once got a full week of well paid gigs for myself and a few other musicians on the basis of my spoons playing - don't ask me why like, but we did. The woman who booked it even wanted a spoons solo each night in front of the guests. I kid you not.
The prosecution have probably had this video deleted, so that they can use it in the forthcoming court case, against the eejit Taxi driver.
That said, a friend of mine used to play his whistle, while steering with this knees, while on the Motorway or Dual Carriageway, while I played Mandolin in the passenger seat!
Of course, he was never stupid enough to let anyone film him, while he was doing this!

With any luck he'll hit a tree with no passengers on board.

Oi! Leave off the spoons!

That's good fun, and probably a LOT safer than texting while you drive.

Re: Spoons playing to be banned
Yeah, but at least that chap has hold of the wheel -- the other one was driving with his knee.

Re: Spoons playing to be banned
At least the driver in the second clip had one hand on the wheel. Theguy in the first clip was steering with his knees.

Re: Spoons playing to be banned
I think I just found a new place to play my tabor pipe. I wonder what the Washington State Patrol would charge me with?

If it's any consolation he wasn't a bad spoon player but an awful blood driver.
