Albannach is absolutely AMAZING!! I visited the Renaissance Festival in MD on Saturday and I was delighted with the SHOW! even under the rain. Thank you guys, I had a blast!

Saw the band for the first time at the Celtic Classic in Bethlehem, PA. Was loving every minute of it! I hope to get the chance to see my fellow Scotsmen again soon! You guys are AWESOME!

Saw the band the first time at the PA Ren Faire. Amazing to say the least. My son told us he did not like bagpipes before the show, but he convinced him to listen. He is now a big fan.Missed the show Friday in PA, but was wuite happy to find that you were palying the MD Ren Fest. Made the trip down just to see Albannach playing live again. Thanks for the music that moves the soul.

Wow, I can't believe another person from "The 'Shire" (New Hampshire) got hooked into Albannach, too. It's a microscopic state, hence my surprise. You guys are an awfully far-reaching band! Anyway, I've been in Maryland for several years and I go to the Renaissance Festival every year for a much-needed recharge. In fact, it's the high point of my year. Despite that, it was a complete fluke that I was there today, and the very first thing I heard when I walked out of my car was the sound of tribal drums (my favorite). I rushed through the gate, went straight to the drums, and I was electrified by your performance, energy, and music. It was infectious, and exactly what I needed to cheer me up. I ended up catching your second show of the day, and the third (sort of) by way of my walk to the car, which was parked right outside the stage. The very last thing I heard when I left the festival was (again, my favorite sound) more Albannach drums. I'm so happy I found your music and that I had the privilege of seeing you live. You are all amazing, and thank you for doing what you do.

I saw you guys for the first time at Celtic Classic on Friday. My friend Chelsea brought me to come see you guys. It was the best night of my life. Your music just speaks to our souls. I can't wait to see you all again. We are planning to come see you all at the Maryland RenFaire in October. Can't wait to see you then!

The Weather was great,It was a crush. I am talking about Pipes in the Valley. After last year I can't say I blame you all for not returning, Let me just say that It was FAR from anything you all do. I left and came home to watch my DVD and listen to my CD's of you and the Red Hot Chili Pipers. No one could hold a candle to you. I wish I had been able to find a way to Loon. Crazy missed you this year!

I went to the Highland Games in Lincoln, NH. I've been intending to go for 20+ years, and finally got there. My original interest and sole intent was to watch the athletic events. However I was with other people and we wandered around. During our meanderings, we stumbled across a tent with live music and decided to get out of the sun. You have no idea how glad I am that we stopped and took a seat. Because the next thing that happened was Albannach came on stage. Wow! I am into a variety of music, but I had never seen, heard, nor FELT anything like this music. You folks are amazing and I thank you from the deepest reaches of my soul for your energy, your uniqueness, your sense of tradition and your music!!

My 13 yr old son and I have been listening to you since we 1st saw/heard you at the Pa Renaissance Faire a few years ago. We both enjoy the 1 cd we have of you! We are EXCITED to see you are coming to Celtic Classis this Friday! 🙂 🙂

Patrick Glenning from Hartford, CT wrote on 23 September 2009

A friend brought back a CD from one of your shows. It was amazing to listen to, and I hope I can make it to see you perform live soon. Best of wishes.

Thank you! You were the High point of the Games, You all Rock!

We always enjoy seeing Albannach perform at the NH Highland Games! We not only catch them during the day, but attend their concert at night... and enjoy their CDs at home. The amount of energy and enthusiasm they pour into their performances is amazing. Keep up the great job!

Jamesie, sorry I was so scared to talk to you, thanks for making fun of me 😉 <333333 Can't wait for next year, 361 days!

My grandparents came here from Scotland when they were first married and ever since I was a child, they fostered a deep love and pride in me for all things Scottish. I have been going to the Games in NH for nearly 20 years, but the last few have been the best because of Albannach. I love your music, your energy, your obvious devotion to your Scottish heritage. Every time I hear Davey sing the ballad about William Wallace, I become very emotional. I didn' think I could love you guys more until I saw Jamsie up there with the Ted Williams shirt on. As a serious Red Sox fan whose hero is "Teddy Ballgame" I was thrilled to see that shirt up on stage! You guys are the best and I pray that you go on for a long time to come. Thanks for all the joy you have given me.

My sister and I saw you for the first time at the NH Highland Games. We LOVED listening to your music and feeling the drums beating in our chests. James -thanks for posing for some pictures with us in the beer tent. We bought some Albannach CD's and listened to them all the way home. Looking forward to seeing you again next year.

I saw your performance at the Highland Games at Loon this year...what energy flows from the stage. Awesome show and hope to see you play again next year!!

I had an awesome day at the NH Highland Games! especially listening to Albannach...I can still feel the drums.

Saw you guys at the Loon show, absolutely awesome! That is the first time in years I have gone to see a band and done the "see show, drop jaw, buy t-shirt, buy CD" thing. The energy you all have on stage is mesmerizing, intense, infectious, and irresistible. It was a pleasure to buy you guys beer, sorry they wouldn't let me bring it into the show tent, I hope you got to pick it up after! I wish you all the best in the future, may you continue to be a constant reminder, to all, of the raw power and passion that feeds Scotland's soul.Thanks again for a great show!

Just got back from Loon Mountain on Sunday afternoon, wearing my official Albanach hoodie and the tunes still ringing in my ears! You guys ROCK! Looking forward to seeing you next year!

Mark Lewis from Maine, USA wrote on 21 September 2009

I thought I'd heard all manners and styles of Scottish music.....until I went to the New Hampshire Highland Games. Long story short, my wife and I walked away with 2 of your CD's and listened all the way home to Maine! What a revelation! Thanks for coming stateside...we hope to hear you in Scotland next! Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

Jaie from New Hampshire wrote on 21 September 2009

Hello! I just saw Albannach for the first time today at the Highland Games at Loon Mtn. WOW!!! It only took about 5 seconds of listening and watching to completely fall in love! I've always loved drum-heavy music and I have Scottish heritage so the Bagpipes have always given me goosebumps. I also love to dance and it's impossible not to when experiencing Albannach live! FANTASTIC! You have a new fan! Hope to see you at The Games next year! 🙂
