Some of the world’s most sought-after Celtic musicians in one band! We are looking forward to an amazing night with legendary Scottish folk band Capercaillie 🙌🏽 A rare opportunity to see such a stellar line-up in a small, intimate, setting. Come along and be dazzled!Celtic music trailblazers CAPERCAILLIE celebrate 40 years with ReLoved, new album featuring the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and select UK live dates – we are so excited to be one of them! Capercaillie will be performing live in a rare run of UK live dates in November featuring the band’s full line-up of Karen Matheson (vocals), Donald Shaw (accordion & keyboards), Charlie McKerron (fiddle), Manus Lunny (bouzouki & guitar), Michael McGoldrick (flute, whistle, & Uilleann pipes), Ewen Vernal (bass), David Robertson (percussion) and James Mackintosh (drums).
Widely respected trailblazers of Celtic music, Capercaillie are credited with being the major force in bringing Gaelic music to the world stage and inspiring the great resurgence so evident today. From their homeland roots of Argyll in the highlands of Scotland, the band’s musical journey has seen them tour 30+ countries, sell over a million albums, perform in Rob Roy (1995) alongside Liam Neeson and Jessica Lange, and enter the pop charts with Coisich a Ruin – the first Gaelic single to reach
the Top 40.
To celebrate their 40th anniversary, Capercaillie release a new album “ReLoved” realising their their dream of creating full symphonic arrangements for their music. Comprising material from their much loved repertoire it encapsulates the spirit of the band with strident waulking songs from the Hebrides, hypnotic groove infused instrumentals and epic modern ballads and love songs.
