Skipinnish
Skipinnish have rocketed to the top of the Scottish music scene recently and their ascent is accelerating! Being named Live Act of the Year at the Scots Trad Awards, releasing four consecutive chart topping self-penned singles, a 3000 seat sell-out concert in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall that finished with a standing ovation, and a string of headline appearances at some of Britain’s biggest music festivals have been just some of the Highland band’s recent highlights.
Skipinnish consists of Angus MacPhail, Andrew Stevenson, Alasdair Murray, Norrie MacIver, Jonathan Gillespie, and Rory Grindlay. Andrew and Angus met while studying at the highly acclaimed R.S.A.M.D in Glasgow. They soon discovered they had a similar passion for authentic traditional Scottish music and by early 1999 ‘Skipinnish’ was established. Since then Skipinnish have never looked back going from strength to strength.

Sorry if it wasn’t clear in our last post, but just to clarify for those asking, we hope to know very soon what is happening with the summer shows, Inverness, 4th July and Stirling, 22nd August. We have been working through all possible (and changing) options with LCC who are running the events and others involved. As soon as we hear what is happening we will let you all know. Thank you all so much for your patience and your support. If ever it was appreciated it is at times like this. Thank you very much.
This is a truly awful and dangerous time for so many and we wish you all and your loved ones our very best and hope deeply that you and yours stay safe from this terrible virus.
“Our battles with the tempest in the dark unyielding skies
The giver of our wisdom when from the fight we rise
Hold your dreams and passion and again you’ll find your fire
When the storm passes by you’ll be alive.”
When this storm passes and the battered ships of our lives emerge from the tempest wrath, we will sing with you again and it will be a wonderful, wonderful feeling.
Don’t cancel Inverness. Selfish I know but was amazing last year. Hope you are all safe and well xx😍
'Alive' would be a great anthem during the current crisis. I'm requesting it for Take the Floor requests and Travelling Folk on BBC Radio Scotland. Looking forward to Inverness but fully understand the uncertainties.
Alive is such an appropriate song for just now. Fingers crossed for Inverness and Stirling. 🤞
Your song “Alive” has kept me going for these past three weeks and will continue to do so. Thank you from Connecticut.
Skipinnish staying safe and healthy is the most important thing - take care all!!!
Take care of each other and stay safe 💕🥃🥃
'Alive' should be made the national anthem of today
Stay safe to all of you in the band and your family xx
Stay safe all of you. Hope to see you next year.
Great message!! Stay safe all, see you all soon
See you in Manchester 👍
Beautiful words. Stay safe. 💕
Alive ! Should be our anthem..

Unfortunately due to current Covid 19 guidelines and restrictions we have had to postpone our Spring Tour that was due to happen at the end of May.
Please see the the attached list which shows the rescheduled dates. We are still working on rearranging Canterbury for 2021 and as soon as we have a date fixed we will announce. Customers unable to attend the rescheduled date should contact their original point of purchase for a refund.
We are constantly monitoring the Covid 19 situation regarding summer gigs and will keep you all updated as soon as any decisions are made.
We hope all our followers and fans are keeping well and we cannot wait to get back on stage to play live for you all!
Thanks for everybody's patience during this time.
All the best
Skipinnish
