RunRig Experience
50 Years of RUNRIG Tour
A tribute to the Scottish super band RunRig.
RunRig was one of the most successful Scottish bands, who, besides Scotland, had a loyal fan base in Denmark and Germany with several number one hits and albums in the charts.
The Scottish Celtic Rock band was founded in 1973 on the Isle of Skye. The band released fourteen studio albums, with some of their songs also sung in Scottish Gaelic.
Runrig's music is often described as a blend of folk and rock music, with the band's lyrics often revolving around places, history, politics, and people that are unique to or were unique to Scotland. This traditional connection in the music, as well as in the lyrics, some of which are in Gaelic, sets the band apart and creates the fascination of their music. Rarely has a band managed to create this identity between the land and the music as RunRig did.
In 2016, the band announced that they would retire from the studio after the release of their 14th studio album, The Story, and announced their last tour for 2017, The Final Mile. In August 2018, Runrig played the final show of their farewell tour titled The Last Dance at Stirling City Park, which was attended by an estimated 52,000 fans.
It would have been RunRig's 50th band anniversary in 2023 if the band were still active.
Richie Muir, a singer and guitarist from Edinburgh who lives in Nottingham, but above all a great, lifelong Runrig fan, had the idea of keeping this fantastic music alive and founded RunRig Experience, a band that celebrates the music of RunRig and thereby fills this gap and celebrates this anniversary.
"From the beginning, we didn't want to be just another tribute band. We wanted the show to be a celebration of RunRig's music. Yes, we wanted it to sound authentic and represent what RunRig was about, but it's not just about filling the gap they left behind. It's about celebrating their music and their incredible contribution to the music industry, to Scotland as a whole, and to the small, significant moments in the lives of their fans.
We wanted to put on a show where people come, have fun, sing, dance, celebrate, and remember, and I believe we have really achieved that. Ben Marshall" (member of RunRig Experience)
Dive into the fascination of Scotland with RunRig Experience, a must for every Scotland fan and for RunRig fans, the songs are finally brought back to life and preserved.
