Leuchttürme sind seit Menschengedenken Orte voller Mystik und Einsamkeit. Sie weisen Seefahrern den Weg in den sicheren Hafen oder lassen sie gefährliche Klippen umschiffen. Eine tolle Inspiration für eine Band, die mit ihrem außergewöhnlichen Sound und einer bestechenden Regelmäßigkeit Leuchtsignale in die Welt sendet und seit 20 Jahren täglich neue Fans gewinnt.
Der Sound von Skerryvore, die sich nach dem Leuchtturm der „Isle of Tiree“ im Westen Schottlands benannten, ist so atemberaubend wie die wilde und ungezähmte Insel selbst – der Heimat einiger Bandmitglieder. Ihr Energie geladener Trad Rock mit Fiddle, Akkordeon, Pipes, Flutes, Whistles, Gitarre und Bagpipe ist wie die wilde Gischt, die gegen die Klippen anbrandet. Bass, Keyboards und Drums setzen funkige Akzente. Aber auch die wilde Schönheit der Schottischen Highlands ist der Musik der Skerries drin. Unter die Haut geht die wunderbare Stimme von Frontmann Alec Dalglish, der auch für die meisten Songs verantwortlich zeichnet.
Dieser Mix hat den Jungs mehrere Awards eingebracht: Beste CD und bester Singer/Songwriter (SNMA). 3 x Live Act of the Year (STMA). 2017 waren Skerryvore das Gesicht der weltweiten „Visit Scotland“ Kampagne. Im Dezember 2020 stürmten sie mit ihrer Single an die Nr. 1 der Schottischen Charts. Anfang 2021 setzte sich der Hit auch in England fest nd war dann einige Wochen in der Playlist A der BBC2. In Schottland mieten sie z.B. das Fußballstadion von Oban an und füllen es mit 10.000 Fans.
Nachdem das Oktett 18 Jahre lang nur „Indie“ war, haben Skerryvore 2023 einen Welt-Vertrag bei der renommierten Plattenfirma "Cooking Vinyl“ unterschrieben. „Tempus“ kletterte 2023 an die Spitze der offiziellen schottischen Album- und der britischen Folk-Album-Charts und kam unter die Top 40 der offiziellen britischen Charts. Gleich drei Single-Auskopplungen landeten auf der BBC Radio 2 New Music Playlist und Apple Music wählte "Another World" in diversen Ländern für ihre New Hits - Playlist aus.
Im Dezember 2024 haben die „Skerries“ als Co-Headliner in Schottlands größter Arena in Glasgow vor 14.000 Fans gespielt. Die Deutschlandtour im Herbst 2024 war nahezu ausverkauft.
Am 31.5.2025 feiern sie ihr 20jähriges Jubiläum. Dann brechen sie zu einer Welttournee auf, um mit den vielen Fans weltweit zusammen zu feiern.

Lighthouses have been places full of mystique and solitude since time immemorial. They guide sailors to safe harbors or help them navigate dangerous cliffs. A great inspiration for a band that, with their extraordinary sound and impressive consistency, sends signals of light into the world and has been gaining new fans daily for 20 years.
The sound of Skerryvore, named after the lighthouse of the “Isle of Tiree” in the west of Scotland, is as breathtaking as the wild and untamed island itself – the home of some band members. Their energetic Trad Rock with fiddle, accordion, pipes, flutes, whistles, guitar, and bagpipe crashes like the wild surf against the cliffs. Bass, keyboards, and drums add funky accents. But the wild beauty of the Scottish Highlands is also inherent in the music of the Skerries. The wonderful voice of frontman Alec Dalglish, who is also responsible for most songs, goes under the skin.
This mix has earned the guys several awards: Best CD and Best Singer/Songwriter (SNMA). 3 x Live Act of the Year (STMA). In 2017, Skerryvore was the face of the global “Visit Scotland” campaign. In December 2020, they stormed to No. 1 on the Scottish charts with their single. At the beginning of 2021, the hit also established itself in England and was then featured for several weeks on BBC2's Playlist A. In Scotland, for example, they rent the football stadium in Oban and fill it with 10,000 fans.
After being "Indie" for 18 years, Skerryvore signed a world contract with the renowned record label "Cooking Vinyl" in 2023. "Tempus" climbed to the top of the official Scottish album and British folk album charts in 2023 and reached the top 40 of the official British charts. Three single releases landed on the BBC Radio 2 New Music Playlist, and Apple Music selected "Another World" for their New Hits playlist in various countries.
In December 2024, the “Skerries” played as co-headliners in Scotland's largest arena in Glasgow before 14,000 fans. The German tour in the autumn of 2024 was nearly sold out.
On May 31, 2025, they will celebrate their 20th anniversary. They will then embark on a world tour to celebrate with their many fans worldwide.

Skerryvore - Beacon of Scot Rock
Lighthouses have always been places full of mystique and orientation – symbols of permanence and radiance. A fitting metaphor for Skerryvore:
For over 20 years, the Scottish band has been sending musical signals to the world with impressive consistency, steadily gaining new fans.
Named after the lighthouse off the Isle of Tiree, Skerryvore combines traditional instruments such as fiddle, accordion, pipes, and whistles with guitar, bass, keyboards, and drums in their energetic Trad Rock. Their sound is powerful and dynamic – inspired by the rugged coastal landscape and the beauty of the Scottish Highlands.
The voice of frontman Alec Dalglish is particularly distinctive, as he writes the majority of the songs.
The unique mix has earned the band numerous awards, including "Live Act of the Year" (STMA) as well as awards for best CD and best Singer/Songwriter (SNMA). In 2017, they were the face of the worldwide "Visit Scotland" campaign.
With chart successes in Scotland and the UK, sold-out shows in front of thousands of fans, and radio plays on BBC Radio 2, Skerryvore has long established itself internationally. In 2023, the band signed a worldwide contract with Cooking Vinyl, and their album "Tempus" reached top positions in the charts.
In 2024, they performed in front of 14,000 fans in Glasgow, and the German tour was almost sold out. In 2025, Skerryvore celebrated their 20th anniversary with a big show at Floors Castle, which resulted in the live album "Live At Floors Castle" – the kickoff of their global anniversary tour.

Skerryvore (GB) - Beacon of Scot Rock
Lighthouses have been places full of mystique and solitude since time immemorial. They guide sailors to the safe harbor or allow them to navigate around dangerous cliffs. A great inspiration for a band that sends out beacon signals to the world with its extraordinary sound and, with remarkable regularity, gains new fans every day for 20 years. The sound of Skerryvore, named after the lighthouse of the "Isle of Tiree" in western Scotland, is as breathtaking as the wild and untamed island itself – home to some of the band members. Their energetic Trad Rock with fiddle, accordion, pipes, flutes, whistles, guitar, and bagpipe crashes like the wild spray against the cliffs. Bass, keyboards, and drums add funky accents. But the wild beauty of the Scottish Highlands is also clearly recognizable in the music of the Skerries. The wonderful voice of frontman Alec Dalglish, who is also responsible for most of the songs, goes under the skin.
