Gary Innes & Ewen Henderson - 20th Anniversary Tour

Gary Innes & Ewen Henderson - 20th Anniversary Tour
From their earliest days playing at dances and weddings throughout the Highlands, to performing all across the globe with Mànran, Gary and Ewen have become leading figures in the Scottish traditional music scene. Their duo performances have taken them to corners as far-flung as Kazakhstan and Shanghai, not to mention once touring the entire West Coast of the United States in a convertible Mustang…

Indeed, it is from these very adventures – plus the musical heritage of their Lochaber upbringing – that their music and stories spring.

Born in Spean Bridge, Gary picked up an accordion for the first time at the age of 8 and never looked back. He released his first solo album in 2005 with further albums also released to critical acclaim. Adding more strings to his bow, Gary took over from the legendary Dr Robbie Shepherd MBE in 2016 as host of BBC Radio Scotland’s ‘Take the Floor’ and has subsequently added his own Sunday evening requests show, ‘Your Requests with Gary Innes’.

Ewen hails from Fort William and was steeped in the traditional music and Gaelic culture of the area from an early age. Starting on the fiddle at five years of age, he subsequently mastered an impressive array of instruments, learning from some true greats of West Highland music, such as Aonghas Grant Snr. Aside from Mànran, Ewen has toured the world with a host of top Scottish and global cross-genre artists including the world-renowned Battlefield Band and World Music pioneers the Afro-Celt Sound System.

Come along and join Gary & Ewen for what promises to be a memorable evening of tunes, songs, reminiscences and craic!
