A colourful music organ from the Netherlands entertains the public on Dame Street in Dublin.
The Dutch barrel organ (draaiorgel) proved to be a crowd pleaser in Dublin city centre.
The musical street organ was on loan from the Dutch government. More commonly found on city streets in the Netherlands, the four tonne mechanised barrel organ was brought to Dublin by Reniattee Kortenhorst and Jan De Haan.
People were fascinated by the traditional instrument featuring ornate dolls in the organ window as it bellowed out music to the streets of Dublin.
