Piper Down an Olde World Pub
1492 South State Street, Salt Lake
Piper Down is one of Salt Lake City’s premier Irish Pubs and live music venues near downtown. David and Shelli were first inspired to open a Pub while Honeymooning in the Temple Bar District of Dublin, Ireland. After much effort, they finally found a space that would make their dream a reality. Dave and Shelli bought the building at 1492 South State in Salt Lake City in September of 2002 following preliminary approval from the City to transform the vacant Constable’s office into “The Temple Bar, an Olde World Pub”. There were 14 public hearings, appeals, and endless red tape, mostly due to the misconception that the name was meant to slight the LDS Church. To avoid further delays, they changed the name to “Piper Down an Olde World Pub”. Their hands were still tied until they finally won their permit to begin work in January 2003.

Piper Down Irish Pub presents Kilt Night Swagger with Heathen Highlanders and the Crawford School of Irish Dancing February 12th, 2011 at 9pm. 2/12/2011
It all started one late October night in 2005; Mike, Ian and Dave met together on the Piper Down stage to show the crowd what they had. They struck in, and the bar went wild. From that moment on, the idea that was to become the Heathen Highlanders was born. Time passed, and the group has grown to be eleven members strong. They perform at bar shows, conventions, weddings, funerals, bar mitzvahs, and any other events imaginable. No job is too odd.
This rag tag bunch of miscreants are dedicated to blaring loud Scottish and Irish bagpipe music, emptying barrels of punch, wooing lonely women and having a lot of fun. They are easily recognized by their lack of uniformity and complete disregard for the rules of traditional piping. If you happen to run into one of these guys around Salt Lake City, don’t worry; everyone but Steve has received their rabies shots. Just drop a dollar in the jug and enjoy.
The Crawford School of Irish Dance can trace its roots back to 1983 when it began in Utah as the McTeggart School of Irish Dance, under the direction of Maureen McTeggart Hall A.D.C.R.G. It is the oldest Irish dance school in the state of Utah and has been under the direction of Jill Polkinghorne Crawford, TCRG since 2002.
Swagger is a high energy Irish Rock band out of Park City, Utah. The group blends Irish and Scottish traditional sounds with American Rock, Ska, Funk, Reggae, Jazz, Country & Folk, to create a solid yet experimental sound.
Well known for their lively stage performances the group has enjoyed immediate success since their early beginnings in 2007. In 2008 Swagger released “Trouble on the Green”, followed by the 2010 release of “The Grave”. Several new songs were polished up by the addition of Eric Slaymaker on Tin Whistle & Kenny Gordon on Keyboards. 2 new live videos have also been added to a new website & logo.
During the winter months the lads can be found pumping out their infectious brand of Celtic Rock at popular ski resorts in Park City, Sun Valley, Jackson Hole & The Grand Targhee Ski Resort. Annual events for the band include the Sundance Film Festival, Boise Highland Games, Deer Valley Concerts Series, Las Vegas Casinos & festivals across the mid-mountain west. The group organized Utah’s 1st. Irish Music Festival at Deer Valley & kicked it off with The Young Dubliners as their headliner. Plans are in the works for the 2nd annual in 2011.
