Recordist's notes

Extended recording of the Orange Day marching bands on Lisburn Road. There are groups of people, either alone, coupled, or with their families attending the different bands marching through. On the side, some children play their own drum kits to mimic the marching bands. The road is closed off to allow safe viewing and attendance of the marches. There are instances of whistles to direct or instruct a specific marching band. It is an interesting sequence that seems never-ending since there “seems” to be an endless number of marching bands for that specific hour that they are marching through the closed road. – Georgios Varoutsos (https://georgiosvaroutsos.com/covid-19_belfast-city-lockdown-3/)
