We have a fantastic 2012 live music line-up introducing Celtica, two world class bagpipers and a kick-ass Rock band. The amazing sound of the Great Highland Bagpipes, high-spirited and passionate, in company with fiery Pub Rock is a real energizer; clap your hands, stomp your feet and sing along: Exiting entertainment for audiences of all ages!
Also introducing Cleghorn, a Celtic influenced Texas rock band featuring the father-son team of John Cleghorn and Dylan Cleghorn who used to perform with our friends NeedFire. The music is both traditional acoustic and original rock.
Also bringing back Tullamore, Jed Marum & Hugh Morrison, local favorites Celtic Cheer and Flowers of Edinburgh!
“There are a number of people who come out just for the beer and the music like Oktoberfest, some who come to dance and others who wish to learn about their history and ancestry, but it’s open to everyone, a great family friendly weekend. If you’ve never been, it’s probably the best Oklahoma festival you’ve never been to..!” said Steve Campbell, festival director.
