In hurling they use a HURL, a flat bat and a SLIOTAR, a hard baseball like ball, and they hit, pass and shoot this ball around.

Bono's "One Campaign", his "Jubilee 2000", his recent "Red Campaign" have been really helpful for aid.

These campaigns are for reducing Third World Debt, Helping the AIDS problem in Africa, and Promoting Third World Trade!!

What I can do might be small compared to what Bono is doing, but it could be a big thing for the people who need it!!

So many people get mixed up between Irish and Scottish instruments, so today I wanna talk about Irish instruments!

The most famous I suppose is the Harp!

¥¢¥¤¥ë¥é¥ó¥É¤Î¤ª¶â¤Ë¤â·¡¤Ã¤Æ¤¢¤ë¤·¥¢¥¤¥ë¥é¥ó¥ÉÀ¯ÉܤΥޡ¼¥¯¤À¤·
It is engraved on the money and it is the official symbol of the Irish Government.

Another well mistaken instrument are the Bagpipes form Scotland.

The Bagpipes are played with a mouthpiece and using your arm.

In Ireland we have the Uilleann Pipes!

They are similar to the bagpipes but they have no mouthpiece...just played with the arm.

If you go to an Irish pub, you will see traditional Irish musicians perform with these instruments in their band...usually well oiled old regulars though! LOL
