Cutting-edge Celtic for the New Millennium

Bad Haggis delivers some truly incredible sonorities, fusing the most cutting-edge of Celtic with vocal and instrumental soundscapes, often transcending, stylistic boundaries. The band's unique sound stems from it's unusual mixture of instrumentation: Irish uilleann pipes, highland bagpipes, whistles, acoustic and electric guitar, bass, drums and percussion. Always taking a different path than one might expect, Bad Haggis has created its own vocabulary and new hybrid of sound.
