SKERRYVORE - Beautiful Mistakes Tour 2027
Lighthouses have been places full of mystique and solitude since time immemorial. They guide sailors to safe harbor or help them navigate dangerous cliffs. A great inspiration for a band that, with their extraordinary sound and impressive consistency, sends beacons into the world and has been gaining 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 – the home of some band members. Their energy-laden trad rock, featuring fiddle, accordion, pipes, flutes, whistles, guitar, and bagpipe, crashes like wild surf against the cliffs. Bass, keyboards, and drums add funky accents. But the wild beauty of the Scottish Highlands is also present in Skerryvore's music. The wonderful voice of frontman Alec Dalglish, who is also responsible for most of the songs, goes under the skin.
This mix has brought 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 worldwide "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 on the BBC2 Playlist A for several weeks. In Scotland, for example, they rented the football stadium in Oban and filled it with 10,000 fans.
After being an "Indie" band for 18 years, Skerryvore signed a worldwide 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 entered the Top 40 of the official British charts. Three single releases made it onto 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 Germany tour in autumn 2024 was nearly sold out.
On May 31, 2025, they will celebrate their 20th anniversary. Then they will embark on a world tour to celebrate with their many fans worldwide.
“This is the real thing, as wild and beautiful as the island they come from“ (Donald Shaw, Artistic Director Celtic Connections).
