Hailing from the island of Tiree, Skerryvore (pronounced Sker-ee-vore) formed in 2005 and includes brothers Daniel Gillespie (accordion) and Martin Gillespie (bagpipes, whistles & accordion), Fraser West (drums & vocals), Alec Dalglish (lead vocals & guitar), Craig Espie (fiddles), Alan Scobie (keyboards), Jodie Bremaneson (bass) and recent addition Scott Wood (bagpipes). The band took their name after the lighthouse that sits on a remote reef of the same name off of Tiree; it is the tallest in Scotland. Skerryvore is currently putting the finishing touches on a new studio album, which they hope to release in conjunction with their 2018 U.S. tour.
