Enter the Haggis (thing)

Enter the Haggis is a celtic-rock quintet based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Since their inception in 1996, they have released two rocking studio albums, and most recently, a live album featuring highlights from their live shows. The band tours nearly every large Celtic festival and Highland games in the United States and Canada, and are a huge hit at every one they play. Their sound is a fusion of traditional Celtic and punk rock, both powerful and energetic. Fans of the band are typically known as Haggis-heads, and can be found driving long distances to see the band play live.

The band is made up of five members:

• Brian Johnathon Buchanan: Hailing from Ottawa, he does the vocals, and plays the fiddle and acoustic guitar.
• Craig Downie: Hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, he also does vocals, and plays the bagpipes and acoustic guitar.
• Trevor Sidney Lewington: From Toronto, he plays the electric and acoustic guitar.
• Mark Andrew Abraham: Hailing from Hamilton, his instrument is the bass guitar.
• James Matthew Campbell: From Sault Ste. Marie, he plays the drums and percussion for the band.
