Shaggy Haggis is the result of a diverse group of musicians coming together with a common interest of exploring the Celtic culture. The instrumentation varies, but the sound is always entertaining.
This six-member ensemble moves effortlessly from the standard Jigs and Reels of the Scots-Irish repertoire to Breton An Dros, Galician Munieras, and captivating vocals. One foot is planted in the traditions of the past, while the other steps out to push the boundaries of the Celtic repertoire.
Think of Shaggy Haggis as a great Irish Session that has left the pub with a Eurail pass in hand, ready to make stops in all seven Celtic nations.
If you became storm stayed on a small North Atlantic Island, this is the group that you would hope to have playing in the local village pub... Guaranteed to keep your toes tapping and your interest up as they move through a series of leads and tempos. It's a full sound that will wash over you like the surf breaking over a remote beach on the Irish coast...
