FOLK supergroup Skerryvore will celebrate their 15th anniversary next year with a special one-day festival branded – XV – in the beautiful grounds of Inveraray Castle, Argyll.
Taking place on Saturday, June 6, the day of celebrations will see Skerryvore welcome to the stage 15 special guests and acts who they have worked with over their 15 years at the centre of the contemporary Scottish traditional music scene.
With a growing fanbase worldwide, having enjoyed tours of not only the UK and Europe, but also USA, Canada and Australia, the eight-piece band are looking forward to playing against the iconic backdrop of Inveraray Castle.
“We look forward to welcoming people from all over the world to Scotland on June 6 to celebrate this milestone for the band,” says Skerryvore co-founding member, Daniel Gillespie.
“It has been such an incredible global journey for us all recently but we wanted a very special location in Scotland for this event and we are thrilled that it is Inveraray Castle, with its proximity to both our adopted home of Glasgow and our native west coast where the band formed.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
