    The Hooligans rock A'Ville

    Uncle Hamish and the Hooligans put on another great show at Jack of the Wood Celtic Pub in Asheville, NC this past Friday. A large and enthusiastic audience was in attendance, including myself and son, MadBagpiper. They cranked it up with a number of their old favorites, then played a number of cuts from their new CD. Great time!

    Here are a few pics:

    There is never a shortage of good dancers at any event in Asheville.


    MadBagpiper stood in with the boys on several tunes...


    ...and he couldn't resist playing some solo pipes during the break.


    Check out the Hooligans if you get a chance...their live show is excellent (especially if you're a fan of classic rock), and they have several CD's available. Their online page is on Myspace. Search for "thatcelticband".

    Cheers!

    Great photos, glad we saw and met the boys at Loch Norman, sorry we missed the show.
