Recordist's notes
After two years without any St. Patrick's Day parades, the city of Belfast decided to organise a large parade starting from Belfast City Hall and moving through the city's inner streets. On a rainy afternoon, I recorded within the crowd to capture some of the bands, floats, cheers, chatter, and the continuous rain that fell on us. This is a recording of the parade march, parade bands, music, instruments, chanting, yelling, whistles, groups, children, adults, celebrations, chatter, and gatherings. – Georgios Varoutsos (https://georgiosvaroutsos.com/covid-19_belfast-city-lifted-restrictions/)
