Mànran and Peatbog Faeries at Strathpeffer Pavilion
One of Scotlands most celebrated trad bands, Mànran will take to the stage at Strathpeffer Pavilion on Friday 29 December, delighting Highland audiences with their lively and infectious sets. They will be joined by Isle of Skye natives and acclaimed folk-fusion act, the Peatbog Faeries.
Mànran will play in Strathpeffer hot off the release of their latest stunning single Wild Mountain Thyme, which is set to raise money for charities supporting the homeless in Scotland this Christmas time.
The seven-piece have had an incredibly busy year in 2023, travelling across Europe for festivals and gigs, as well as headlining events closer to home, such as Morays Speyfest and Warwick Folk Festival, and they show no sign of slowing down.
As well as Strathpeffer, the award-winning musical powerhouse will be playing at Kingussie and Skye this winter, and will also return to Glasgow for the second, mighty Hoolie in the Hydro, organised by Mànrans very own Gary Innes, and Dundee Caird Hall for the glittering MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards.
Gary Innes of Mànran said: Weve had a busy year, performing all over and bringing our music to new stages and faces. It has been amazing, but we are so excited to be back playing in Scotland again a Scottish crowd is definitely hard to beat! Were ready to bring the end to 2023 in style, and cant wait to see the lovely people of Strathpeffer for a big old party very soon.
The renowned group has been at the heart of the Scottish traditional music scene for over a decade. Internationally recognised as one of the most iconic and respected Scottish bands on the road today, they continue to push boundaries and explore new musical and geographical territory, bringing their uplifting and unique live performances to stages across the world.
With four critically acclaimed albums under their belt, the multifaceted supergroup has amassed a loyal fanbase worldwide for their self-penned tunes performed on a mixture of traditional and modern instruments, alongside their outstanding songs in both Gaelic and English.
