Barleyjuice was formed by a few members of the Loch Rannoch Pipe Band. After marching around in sub-zero temmeratures in kilts, the notion was born that Pubs are one h_ll of a lot warmer! Presto... guitars, drums, fiddles and pipes playing traditional (and a little neo-celtic) music!

There are a LOAD of fire companies, police forces, and such that have bands. As long as you live around the area... you'll be welcome. Naturally, some talent DOES help too!

It CAN be expensive though. Don't expect some of these groups to pay for a handsewn kilt from Scotland... or the spats... or the fly-aways... or the instruments... or the bar tabs.
