Event Type
Advance tickets $25, regular tickets $30. Take two brothers, Daniel (Accordion) and Martin Gillespie (pipes, whistles and accordion), steeped in the Scottish west coast ceilidh tradition on the Isle of Tiree, and add in friends Fraser West (drums) and Alec Dalglish (guitar and vocals), with a background in brass bands, wind bands, jazz bands, and with blues, folk and country influences, and you have the 2005, embryonic Skerryvore. Fast forward 10 years, add Craig Espie (fiddle) and Jodie Bremaneson (bass), bring in your album producer Alan Scobie on Keyboards and mix in the Glasgow music scene and you
have a band that won Scottish Traditional music’s ‘Live Act of the Year’ in 2011 – they were to win it again in 2016. Skerryvore
represent the best in contemporary Scottish traditional music, with a growing fanbase worldwide and with the promise of much more to come.
2020 marks the 15th Anniversary of the band. This is one hot way to wrap up the summer of 2020! Sponsored by a fan of Celtic music!
