Pictus

Pictus Wielding Battle Bagpipes & Weapons of Mass Percussion. Follow the Rythm of the Warrior Bards! So stand up, sound your barbaric YAWP! and be transported by Pictus!

Pictus has been thrilling audiences all over the country with their unique take on primal drums & bagpipes. You can feel the thunder of the war drums and hear the call of the great Highland bagpipes and let the music lift your spirits, stir your soul and speak to the voice of your ancestors. But Pictus is not simply a "bagpipe and drum band" for there are stories, tales and jokes to be told by Oen

gus Mac Og, the drummer & voice of Pictus. There is Irish and Scottish Highland dance provided by the energetic and beautiful Ceilidh Shillelagh, there are Irish pennywhistle and original compositions by Tallisyn. With nationally acclaimed, award winning bagpiper John “Tallisyn” Holland, the years of drumming and stage experience of Brad “Oengus” Sprauer, and the years of drumming & Irish dance performance of Lauren "Céilidh Shillelagh" Berry, PICTUS is a unique, powerful show that’s not to be missed!

THANK YOU St. Andrew's Society of Detroit Annual Highland Games for another amazing year!

We can't express enough how absolutely perfect this festival is. From the festival board and Michael P. one of the most awesome entertainment directors ever, to all of the volunteers and crew, to the kick arse sound and lighting crew and of course...YOU. The best fans a band could ask for.

You made every single band on the stage feel like the headliner, and we appreciate that more than you know!

Until next year!

(Come see us at the Michigan Renaissance Faire in Holly, MI from August through September.)

Smoky Mountain Scottish Festival and Games

Our hearts are full!! Endless gratitude to everyone at the fest for a PERFECT weekend! Your love, friendship and generosity prove that southern hospitality isn’t just an empty slogan. You showed up and gave us so much energy we can’t thank you enough!

And my goodness…our stage mates! WOW The Jacobites by Name brought not just amazing music, but they are keeping Scottish music history ALIVE with their renditions of the auld Scottish tunes and their histories. Lovely, brilliant lads! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤘🏼

Celtic Conundrum not only brought their amazing musicianship, but brilliantly written original songs. Thank you for the laughs, the conversation, the friendship and the shenanigans!

See ya’ll next year? ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
