A Scottish folk band have slammed “revolting” thieves who broke into their car in Melbourne and stole items, including a set of bagpipes and a guitar.

Skerryvore had just come to the end of their Australian tour, having played at Melbourne’s Celtic Festival on Monday when it was discovered their car had been broken into.

Shattered glass from the car’s windows was pictured on the ground in a post on social media, as the band made a heartfelt plea for the precious items, including a USA Sunburst Fender Telecaster, to be returned.

In a post on Instagram, the band said: “An absolutely revolting end to what has been an incredible tour of Australia! Bagpipes, guitar, laptop, camera and more… stolen from car in the city this morning.

“If any Melbourne pawn shops get offered a set of pipes or a USA Sunburst Fender Telecaster… or anyone spots them popping up online…please get in touch!!”
