We first saw Albannach at the Scottish Festival in Estes Park, Colorado a few years ago and we have been FANS ever since! LOVE seeing the long time Scottish band members!

We heard yall performing at the Highland Games, today, and we're amazed!

Hello Jamesie,
We had the pleasure of seeing your band and meeting you afterwards. You know our Aunt Shelby whom told us to seek you out at the Greencove springs Highland Games. Boy, we’re glad she did, y’all were fantastic and we are now fans of Albannach. I myself was impressed at the fact we sought you out and not knowing us at all you greeted us after the show and spoke with us, thank you for that. Hope you come back to Florida so we can see you and your band again. We’d love to hang out with you! Your good people!! And you’re awesome on stage!! What a great show y’all put on!!

I first came across Albannach on my 16th birthday, about 9 years ago, when a friend took me to the Ohio Renaissance Festival. They were doing some random Ren Fair attraction like riding a camel or something, and behind us was a stage with some killer fucking music and I just felt it in my bones. I went over, stayed at the edge of the crowd and just let myself enjoy it, dancing with some other people who were doing the same - for the record, I knew they were drunk, I was just loving the vibe. I stayed the whole set and my friends made fun of me for it, but I had never felt so alive. I’m not ashamed to admit how freeing it felt. I’m 25 now, I’ve gone back to Ohio Ren fair every year, shooting for the weekend Albannach takes the stage if I hear they are making a return. I’m always too broke for merch, but I’m there, dressed up in Ren Garb with a Queen’s Tea, taking my place at the edge of the crowd.

I can't thank your band enough for being at Grandfather Mountain this year. I saw you on YouTube awhile back and thought you guys were great. But I never expected to see and hear you in person!!! It was my second trip to see the games on the mountain. The first time I didn't get to enjoy everything so I wanted to go back this year. What an added bonus to get to hear you play. Some say your music is an acquired taste but I took right to it even though I have no Scottish background as far as I know. The tribal beat and rhythm peeled back some layers in my soul. My authentic self is more alive now thanks to you. This trip to NC and then on to Tennessee was for healing purposes and, unexpectedly, you guys started me off. I HAD SO MUCH FUN. Thanks for such a good memory!!! It will never be forgotten. James you touched my soul even from a distance!

It was great to see you guys yesterday in North Charleston! Maybe with a little convincing you guys can cover It’s A Long Way To The Top by AC/DC. Hell, there’s already bagpipes for Donnie to play 😂. Speaking of him, our local footie team has a partnership with Hibernian FC, although I think he’s a Celtic fan. Thanks for the patch as well! I havnt found a place for it yet, but it might go just above another fellow Glaswegian metal band Bleed From Within!

I first saw you at Mount Hope in Manheim, PA. I believe it was in 2005. I can't remember if it was Celtic Fling or the Renaissance Faire. Catherine, drummer for Coyote Run, told me to check out this "phenomenal band" since I'd taken such an interest in drumming. From the moment you all hit the stage I was mesmerized. Attended every Celtic Fling and PARF you all appeared at since then until Davey's last appearance with the band. And I live in Maryland, not Pennsylvania!

Have been listening to Galgael...LOVE IT!!!!! Can't wait till the world straightens out and I'll be able to see you all in person...you guys are wonderful and make me feel closer to my heritage...47% Scottish! 👍

Saw you in a Fort Myers in February. Never heard Scottish music like yours. Absolutely loved the drums and pipes. I hope I get to see you in Maine; if not, I’ll look for you after you’re back. You all are fabulous!

I love your music. The way bagpipes are played today is awesome! I've liked hearing them since I was a little girl, they were always in the parades & my grand-dad had music albums with them. I would love for you all to come to Nova Scotia. We have highland games & tons of festivals & music venues. Of course I live at the southern part of the province where there's not too many really big events but I'd travel if you all came here! Annapolis Royal does have great Natal Day celebrations (well so does Halifax?) but it'd be amazing if you came to our end!
Take care.
PS> I grew up in Scotland! Scotland, Ontario, Canada ?

Dear Jacquie, Jamesie, Drew, Donnie and Nick,
My hubby, Bill, and I are IN LOVE with you guys. Ok, so I’m saying the In Love thing because Bill, being the manly Welsh guys he is, would say Aw geez Darlin’ don’t tell ‘em THAT, but me, being Scottish AND in my second childhood I am bound to tell it like it is. So. There you have it.
Jacquie, thank you so much for taking the time from your table sales duties to talk to me about your wonderful band family and to let my friend snap a photo of us. Two lasses in one photo- so great.
My maternal blood is Malcolm, (formerly McCollum) which included five Scottish kings. Duntrune Castle is still there. Don’t know if I’ll ever see it, but I carry the story in my heart. What a rich and important history we all, as Scots, possess. They say it ain’t braggin’ if you can back it up. And can’t we all, tho. Thank you for keeping it alive through your music.
Blessings!
Bonnie

I love your music! Congrats.
