The town of Strakonice is an ideal location for a festival of this nature, as it is situated in an area that is considered to be the heartland of the age-old Czech bagpiping tradition. It is also the reputed birthplace of Svanda Dudak, the fabled globetrotting piper of Czech legend. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/dudaci.jpg?timestamp=1590301106 Locals blown away by Strakonice bagpipe festival https://english.radio.cz/locals-blown-away-strakonice-bagpipe-festival-8090180 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
