Uncle Hamish and the Hooligans are a five member Celtic rock band from and around the mountains of Western North
Carolina. The origins of this band stem from a desire to escape the various forms of music each member was
involved in. They all had an overwhelming need to be part of a band that was truly different and special.
Influenced by such ground-breaking bands as Seven Nations and Enter the Haggis, they set out to play Celtic music
that also included their personal tastes. In their music you will likely hear influences that range from Toto to
Genesis and all points in between. Mix in the haunting sounds of traditional Celtic instruments such as the
Highland bagpipes, whistles, flute, mandolin and other instruments of the like, and what you get is Uncle Hamish
and the Hooligans.
