About

Over the last 15 years, Skerryvore have brought their performances to audiences across the globe, from their early days in Scottish West Coast halls and bars, to Festival crowds in USA, Canada, Australia and throughout the UK and Europe. Picking up Scottish traditional music’s ‘Live Act of the Year’ twice on the way – in 2011 and again in 2016 – the band’s wide range of influences and talent produce a musically expansive, high energy set that excites and captivates audiences.

With a mix of fiddle, accordions, pipes and whistles, alongside guitar and vocals, underpinned by driving bass, drums and keys, Skerryvore represent the best in contemporary Scottish traditional music. Their 6 studio albums demonstrate the wide range of influences the individual musicians bring to the mix – a unique fusion of folk, trad, rock and Americana, with even some jazz in there!

The band’s single, ‘Everyday Heroes,’ recorded from home, and aided by a variety of musicians from across the country, reached number one in the official Scottish charts and, so far, has raised several thousands of pounds for NHS staff charities.

Comfortable in the studio though the band are, it’s on the road in front of a live audience that they really come into their own. Their live album, recorded at Scottish venues in late 2019, and released in summer 2020, highlights this, as well as giving a hint that there’s still much more to come for Skerryvore’s growing worldwide fanbase.

“A great bunch of guys and superb live – really infectious and hard not to get swept up in what they do”
Mark Radcliff, BBC radio 2

Support from THE EVES - Scottish pop duo ‘The Eves’ are Caroline Gilmour and Marissa Keltie, one of the UK’s most promising duos with their stand-out brand of uplifting, melodic pop. Recent single releases ‘ After The Love’, ‘Big Love’ and ‘Brand New Day’ have commanded attention from mainstream media and radio. 'Big Love' is the official anthem for Scottish Women’s Football 2022/2023 League Season. 'Brand New Day' spent 5 weeks on the BBC Radio 2 playlist. It reached No. 6 and No. 15 in the iTunes pop charts and main download chart, as well as entering the top 65 in the UK Official Charts Company download single charts.
