Hunting McLeod opened:
Their music mixes pipes and fiddle with an electric "power trio" for some Celtic-style
rockin'.
The guitarist and violinist will occasionally hop in unison to the beat, and get
their pleats swinging rhythmically.
Later the piper got into the act (but he doesn't hop)
Hunting McLeod has a new 2-color logo, featured on their new T-shirts as seen above. I could not resist modelling it with their eponymous tartan, but my socks were a different color.
HM must have hustled out of Greenville right after the show on Friday, because they spent the rest of tthe weekend at the Blairsville Georgia games and gave a concert saturday night. I totally concur on their show - great entertainers. They have been at Blairsville since the games started there in 2004 and have quite the following.
Their new drummer is 16 (yes sixteen) years old and MAN! can he play! They did one song where he went into a solo and the rest left the stage for a break. He's a wild man, and can he twirl and toss those sticks!
I bought both CD's, but didn't order the third yet.
