Hare Krishna in Waterford

Master and commander

At the tall ships over the weekend I came across a bunch (3 or 4) hare krishna lads singing (maha mantra) and playing music and decked out in orange/peach on the north wharf beside one of the old buildings. It reminded me that a few years back there was a hare krishna presence in the city very regularly, maybe 5 - 7 years ago. I remember they used to run along the quays by the clocktower doing their thing fairly regularly. Used to come across them now and again. I havent seen them in a long time now.
Does anyone else remember seeing them?
Where did they go to?
Was there a community of them in Waterford?

also, does anyone know the name of that instrument they play while singing? Its kinda like a squeezebox on the ground with a bellows that you pull to and frow. Its got a small keyboard and sounds a bit like an accordian.

i'd be interested to find out.

Yea spotted those guys myself, they had me bemused, i didnt have a clue what was going on with them. The singer or rather what i thought was the singer with the bellows seemed to be just rattling out random words. All very strange.
