One of the first "Celtic" songs I remember hearing growing up was "The Scotsman." It was written by Mike Cross and made popular by Bryan Bowers. It's ever a favorite among kilt-o-philes.

Bruce the Bruce from Queen's Gambit was a fan of that song too when he heard the Bedlam Bards performing it. He asked a different question: what happens to all those blue ribbons that come off Scotsman. The answer is quite twisted and amusing.

Queen's Gambit is an Oklahoma-based Celtic band specializing in Irish and Scottish traditional music, with a side order of English Folk, dance, and Renaissance music for entertainment at any function. You can find them performing at Renaissance Faires, Irish/Scottish Pubs, Educational Assemblies, Historical Re-enactments, Scottish Games, Weddings, and even Corporate Christmas Parties.
