SKERRYVORE RETURN FOR ANOTHER MASSIVE HIGHLAND CONCERT
Scottish sensation Skerryvore have today (Friday 21st June 2024) announced that
they will be returning to the Highland capital this December, after the massive
success of their show last year!
LCC Live, organisers of Live in the City, kicked off last year’s Christmas concert
series with the celtic-rock group, and they’ll be making their return to the Inverness
Leisure Centre on Friday 6th December 2024 for another energetic concert filled with
all of their iconic hits!
Skerryvore has been on a momentous journey since the group was founded in 2005
on the westerly island of Tiree, 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.
The three-time winners of Scotland’s ‘Live Act of the Year' award have had an
eventful time recently, following their latest album release in 2023 which went to
number 1 in both the Official Scottish Album and UK Folk Albums charts, and
entered the top 40 in the Official UK Charts. Three singles from the album, named
‘Tempus’, all featured on the BBC Radio 2 new music playlist.
With a mix of bagpipes, fiddles, accordions, and whistles, alongside guitar and
vocals, underpinned by driving bass, drums and keys, Skerryvore represent the best
in contemporary Scottish traditional music. Their most popular hit 'Take My Hand’ is
a fan favourite with many, along with tunes ‘You & I' and ‘Live Forever’.
The group will be joined by a special guest on the night of their Inverness Leisure
Centre concert.
Claire Kidger of LCC Live commented;
“The crowd at Inverness Leisure last year gave such a warm welcome to Skerryvore,
we couldn’t think of anyone better than to kick start our Christmas concert series
again! If it’s anything like previous, this will be a night filled with lots of dancing and
singing along - it was a spectacular show and we’re already anticipating a high
demand for tickets!”
Skerryvore themselves are looking forward to the show too, with Martin Gillespie
from the band saying;
“We love Inverness! Last year’s gig in the Leisure Centre was one of the highlights of
our year and such an incredible party atmosphere. We can’t wait to return to our
Highland home this December to do it all again!”
Tickets for Skerryvore go on sale next Friday (28th June 2024) from ticketline.co.uk
or in person from Caffery’s Menswear in the Eastgate Shopping Centre, Inverness.
