About SasSaNach.com
Sassanach is a Duluth, MN group playing mostly traditional Scottish, Irish, and Newfoundland songs. An occasional somber ballad provides relief to the steady stream of drinking songs, fighting songs, and bawdy songs. Sassanach (sass eh nak) is a Gaelic word, primarily Scots, mostly derogatory. It means outsider, outlander, or foreigner. It mainly is used describe the English ( = Saxon) at their worst and most despised, so the connotation of the word has come to be a derogatory one.
