Toronto, Canada based World Celtic rock band - Enter the Haggis performed March 10, 2011 at the 925-seat Waterville Opera House, booked by Sweet People Productions. Affectionately known as "ETH" and well versed in performing in Northern New England's many opera houses , Enter the Haggis is touring in support of the band’s new album Gutter Anthems. Being Irish blooded I was inspired to create photographs of their performance leading up to St. Patrick's Day later this same week. Photographs by Conall O'Brien.
