Story of The Tartan Terrors
CELTIC INVASION
Tartan Terrors bring their Celtic Invasion to festivals and shows across North America, blending the energy of a rock show with humour and stepdance.
With a distinctive sound and a proud tradition of making Celtic music fun and accessible to any audience, the Terrors have played big stages across North America, including Market Square, St. John NB, sharing the stage with Scott Helman, and The Beaches, and the Celtic Music & Craft Beer Festival in Dunedin, Florida, with Eileen Ivers.
In 2019, we lost Ellen Irmisch, co-founder of Tartan Terrors, to a courageous battle with cancer. She was a bright light for our band and our community and we hold her memory and legacy with us in every performance.
