Hey Nelson-

Rathkeltair are actually good friends of mine (well Neil and Collier anyway - I dont really know Trevor and Nick). They were really good. Before the show Neil told me that the new band would be like the old Seven Nations without the BS. I thought that was exactly what it was like.

We actually designed their new shirts as well. Go to www.highlandtide.com and take a look at the News and Words section on the homepage. You can get a look at the shirts there.

Hank,

That sounds like a group I will love.
I feel 7nations were at their best when Neil was with them.
They lost their spark and edge once he was gone.
I’m really looking forward to the Clover games now that I know they will be there.
I may even try to catch them in one
of their shows in Asheville or Greenville.

Great Job on their shirts too. They’re sweet! 8)
I will definitely pick one up at one of the shows. That is if they have it in the big boy size XXL.

Nelson

And Dropkick and McKenzies BOTH wear some of the best kilts that I've ever seen on stage.

Nice!

DKM's piper was great when I saw them (the only kilted band member) but the pipes aren't meant for a club, and they were hard to hear with all the feed back from the other instruments.

If Clan an Drumma doesn't get your blood pumping, nothing will!

They have a link to my site on their website too!

After listening to a couple of tracks on Clann An Drumma website, I just ordered their two CDs. In fact, I just listened to a sample from their website again, and I now feel like putting on my Great Kilt, grabbing my Claymore, recurve bow, and crossbow, and go sack London.
