Irn-Bru Carol Crew to go on tour serenading shoppers this weekend
Looking to get shoppers into the Christmas spirit, Irn-Bru said their choir of heavenly voices will be belting out festive favourites with a ginger-themed 'twist'.
A spokesperson for the brand said fans of Scotland's other national drink can join in as the Carol Crew, who will be decked out in orange and joined by two Barr's can mascots, sing their quirky setlist which will include ‘Joy to the Weeg’ and ‘Jingle BRU’.

The new/old version has been created using a recipe from a handwritten book stored deep in the company archives for over 100 years and is described by the firm as “like nothing anyone has tasted before”.
