The Hooligans @ Richmond Highland Games (VA – USA)
What a difference a day makes! Where there was rain, yesterday at the Richmond Highland Games and Celtic Festival there was nothing but sweet sunshine, today! When I first joined this forum and posted my newbie thread, I was welcomed by ThatCelticBand who told me had written a song about the piper ghost of Duntrune Castle. Duntrune is the home of Clan Chief Robin Malcolm. I have had the honor of visiting him there.
The Hooligans were to play this weekend at Richmond and fellow XMarker, ThatCelticBand posted he would play the Warning, the song about the ghost of Duntrune. An offer I was not about to refuse. So, I returned today for the concert and would not be disappointed.
These guys do a superb rendition of The Gael, the theme from the movie, The Last of the Mohicans. If I remember correctly, I believe most of that movie was shot in the Smokey’s near Asheville were the Hooligans hail from.

John Barden really rocked out The Gael.
