Skerryvore in Concert! Skerryvore began as a Ceilidh band on the Hebridean island of Tiree, Scotland and has evolved into a unique fusion of folk, trad, rock and pop. Brothers Daniel (accordian) and Martin (pipes) Gillespie grew up on Tiree and added friends Fraser West (drums) and Alec Dalglish (guitar) to form a new band. Then came Craig Espie (fiddle), Jodie Bremanson (Bass), Alan Scobie (keyboards) and Scott Wood (pipes & whistles) to form the greatest Scottish traditional music group in the world today. Their musicianship and the mesmerizing voice of singer Alec Dalglish, have made Skerryvore an international sensation, performing in cities such as Beijing, Madrid, Munich and New York. They are two-time winners of Scotland’s Traditional Music “Live Act of the Year” Award. Their newest album EVO hit #1 on the World Music Charts. They have just announced they will celebrate their 15th anniversary as a band next June by hosting a weekend concert with15 special guests and friends at Inveraray Castle in Scotland.
