Skerryvore

“This is one lively, crowd-pleasing band.” — Music Connection

What are Skerryvore? They’re like no one else. Epic of melody, intimate of feeling and plugged into the roots of Scotland but blasting out to the world. 

Skerryvore have evolved from their humble beginnings to become one of the country’s leading forces. They are three-time winners of Scotland’s Live Act of the Year award, facing stiff competition in a thriving live music scene. Here, they lead a movement that has reinvented and reignited a traditional Scottish scene for a modern, multicultural audience. Then, the band brings their high energy performances to audiences across the globe. 

Their sound mixes bagpipes, fiddles, accordions, and whistles, alongside guitar and vocals, underpinned by driving bass, drums and keys. Thus, Skerryvore represent the best in contemporary Scottish traditional music. Their seven studio albums demonstrate the wide range of influences the individual musicians bring to the mix. Here, they present a unique fusion of folk, trad, pop and rock.

Three singles from the latest album, 2023’s Tempus, all featured on the BBC Radio 2 new music playlist. Additionally, the album went to Number One in both the Official Scottish Album and UK Folk Albums charts. Further, it entered the Top Forty in the Official UK Charts. Skerryvore took their Tempus Tour to audiences across the UK, Europe and USA, with their unique fusion appealing to a wider mix of age groups and tastes.

Recommended for fans of Red Hot Chili Pipers, Sharon Shannon, Skipinnish and Dougie MacLean.
