There’s a new world record for bagpipers after hundreds gathered in Australia on Wednesday.
The Australian Book of Records confirmed the world record for biggest bagpipe ensemble was broken in Melbourne after 374 pipers outnumbered a previous record set in Bulgaria in 2012. The ensemble played AC/DC’s It’s a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll) to a crowd of thousands.
Bands across the state had been practicing for weeks in the lead-up to the attempt and some participants even expressed hope that the world record would help revive interest in the art form.
