Faire offers food, fun and workshops The 10th annual Scottish Irish Faire at the Horseshoe this weekend offers workshops, entertainment and Celtic wares and food. "MTS has been compared to a Scottish version of The Pogues, with folk, rock, punk and ska influences in the music," stated . Pretty high energy. You get more musicians and more vendors and more workshops and that attracts more fairgoers. We have added a headliner group so we have two headliners -- Jiggernaut and Murder the Stout out of Houston. "Every year we try as a group to gain more interest," said Raney. The latter is a Celtic rock band. Animal activities include a McBassett Celtic Dog Parade and a Celtic Breed Parade. "Jiggernaut's music is a confident, brash, fiery mix of Scottish and Irish influences and American blue-collar stadium rock. This year, Raney said, "We have added some animal acts. It's really just a good time. Most of the entertainers are returning. Formed in 2004, Murder the Stout (MTS) is led by native Scotsman High Morrison on lead vocals and squeezebox. Around 15 clans are represented at this annual event. Vendors will be on hand with all types of Celtic items: clothing, Irish wools and linens, jewelry, musical instruments, toys, art, military reproductions, family and clan histories and crests, Celtic figurines and Celtic foods. Formed in 2000, Jiggernaut is a combination of Celtic, rock and folk music. When the fairgoers come, there's better finances to get more vendors and entertainers and workshops.
