A homage to the Scottish superband RunRig

RunRig was one of the most successful Scottish bands, having a loyal fanbase not only in Scotland but also 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, some of which feature songs 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 or were unique to Scotland. This traditional reference in the music, as well as the lyrics that partly include Gaelic verses, highlights the uniqueness of the band and creates the fascination of their music. Rarely has a band managed to create this identity between land and music like RunRig.

In 2016, the band announced that they would be retiring from the studio after the release of their 14th studio album The Story, and announced their final tour The Final Mile for 2017. In August 2018, Runrig played the last show of their farewell tour titled The Last Dance in Stirling City Park, which was attended by an estimated 52,000 fans.

2023 would have marked the 50th anniversary of the band if it still existed. Richie Muir, a singer and guitarist from Edinburgh who lives in Nottingham but is primarily a lifelong Runrig fan, had the idea to keep this fantastic music alive and founded RunRig Experience, a band that celebrates Runrig's music and thus also commemorates this anniversary - filling the gap left behind.

"From the beginning, we didn't want to be a tribute band that just pretends. 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've left. 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 think we've really managed to do that. Ben Marshall (Member of RunRig Experience) Dive into the fascination of Scotland with RunRig Experience, the uniqueness of the Highlands is a must for every Scotland fan, and for RunRig fans, the songs are finally brought back to life and preserved.
