Enter the Haggis @ The Real School of Music

Sunday, we heard "Enter the Haggis" perform at The Real School of Music. They are a Celtic rock band that includes a bagpipe player and a fiddler. These guys really rocked; may be the first time I've heard bagpipes without covering my ears.

Get a taste of the Haggis
Here are my crappy videos of their concert at The Real School
My boys take guitar and bass lessons at The Real School of Music. It's a great school of rock. In addition to private lessons, the boys play in an "ensemble" once a week. Ensemble really means rock band. They put students in groups with a singer, drummer, guitarist, bassist, and an instructor as "coach".

The Real School also has a recording studio and a concert room. In addition to concerts by the "ensembles", they give local amateur bands a chance to play in front of an audience. And once or twice a month, they have concerts by professional bands. We heard Greg Hawkes of the Cars, Guggenheim Grotto, and now Enter the Haggis at The Real School of Music. These concerts are the best, very intimate with only 50-100 people in the audience, and either free or a nominal fee. Check it out if you get the chance.
