Skipinnish & Shooglenifty
SATURDAY 29TH APRIL 2023
Doors 7.30pm
Skipinnish are without a doubt one of Scotland’s most exciting exports. A long-standing favourite on the Scottish folk
scene, the release of their 2017 album - The Seventh Wave - catapulted them to staggering new heights and brought
the widespread recognition their loyal following had long since known they deserved. With hit after hit of self penned
songs and a strong mix of powerful bagpipe, fiddle and accordion led tune sets, they encompass the very best of
traditional and contemporary Scottish music. The boundless energy of their live shows coupled with their wonderfully
evocative songwriting continues to captivate audiences around the world.
Shooglenifty
Shooglenifty was formed in 1990 by musicians from the Scottish Highlands,Orkney and Edinburgh. Its bright spark was the idea of fusing traditional and traditional-sounding melodies with the beats and basslines of a mixed bag of more contemporary influences. As happy playing a small highland village hall as
they are on an outdoor festival stage playing to tens of thousands, the Shoogles (as they’re known to their fans) have promoted Scottish music all over the world for three decades.
