Gig at the Gathering 2018
Friday 24th August 2018
Tickets for the 2018 Gig at the Gathering will go on sale on Thursday 1st March. Clicking on this link will take you to the order page once it is live.
We are delighted that this year’s Gig at the Gathering will be headlined by 2016 MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Award winners Trail West.
With strong links to the Hebridean Isles of Tiree and South Uist, the music and culture that they were raised in remains a pure and refreshing trademark in the sound of Trail West. Having recently wowed audiences in Singapore, Trail West will be showcasing their brand new six-piece line-up.
In support we are delighted to have Beinn Lee, a young six piece band from Uist in the Outer Hebrides.
Formed in 2013, the band are rooted in the west coast style of traditional music. The collective inheritance of Gaelic song and west coast pipe music provide a very strong traditional backbone to their music, but the music is infused with contemporary compositions, self-penned tunes, and a mix of songs from Gaelic to pop and country.
Opening the night, all the way from Baltimore, will be The American Rogues. Drawing favourable comparisons to Wolfstone, Afro Celt Sound System, and Trans Siberian Orchestra, and consistently providing performances from grade 1 pipers and other world class musicians this American/Canadian group has electrified audiences on three continents for many years.
We hope you will join us for what is sure to be an inredible evening.
