Skerryvore

In what’s now becoming a bit of a tradition, Skerryvore (with support tbc) return to Aberdeen Music Hall to get you in the mood for the New Year. As we close in on the beginning of their 20th birthday year, join us for a great festive night out.

Over the last nearly 20 years, Skerryvore have evolved from their humble beginnings to become one of the country’s leading forces in a thriving live music scene. At the forefront of a movement that has reinvented and reignited a traditional Scottish scene for a modern, multicultural audience, and three time winners of Scotland’s ‘Live Act of the Year’ award, the band have brought their high energy performances to audiences across the globe. From their early days in Scottish West Coast halls and bars, to festival crowds in the USA, Canada, Australia and throughout the UK and Europe, Skerryvore’s wide range of influences and talent produce a musically expansive, immersive yet intimate set that excites and captivates audiences.

Their mix of bagpipes, fiddles, accordions, and whistles, alongside guitar and vocals, underpinned by driving bass, drums and keys, lets Skerryvore represent the best in contemporary Scottish traditional music. Their now 7 studio albums demonstrate the wide range of influences the individual musicians bring to the mix – a unique fusion of folk, trad, pop and rock.

Several of their songs have become anthemic, energising audiences across the UK, Europe and USA, with their unique fusion appealing to a wider mix of age groups and tastes.
