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.
Skipinnish appeared in 2018

At 8pm this evening, the last official “Clap for Carers” will take place. To mark that occasion and to show our deep gratitude to all who dedicate their lives to caring for others and who face the dangers of the world on our behalf, we present this poem, which was written by Angus a few weeks ago.
The heroic people to whom this poem is dedicated have always been in our lives, doing their jobs for the good of others, but it is at times like these that the wonder of their strength, bravery, kindness, sacrifice and grace is seen most clearly.
Thank you to you all.

Today marks the third anniversary of the Manchester Arena Attack. Our thoughts are with the families and friends of all affected by that awful tragedy. This song was written in memory of Eilidh MacLeod from Barra, a young, bright and talented piper and Highland Dancer with a wonderful future ahead of her.
Wishing Well
When the white cold of winter will cover the morn
May your sorrows be healed and your love be reborn
And the warmth of memories long in the glow
Be real as you walk on the snow.
When the flowers of spring grow anew by the burn
And the colours of bloom on the machairs return
May the pipes that fell silent sound over the bay
On the wind and the echo they play
Chorus
Let us join by the glow where the clear waters flow
From the wishing well high on the hill.
Forever we’ll feel, but the waters will heal
From the wishing well high on the hill.
Live the unbridled magic of life long ago
When our hearts were as whole as we felt them before
Before the blind reapers brought dark to the day
And our dreams of the dawn washed away.
Your steps are in time and your tune holds the key
And your smile on the wave will forever be free
Eternal the flame, you will always return
And will dance in the land of the young.
The Star of the Sea in the clear island skies
Gives the guidance of old and the light never dies.
Your spirit was strong, now silent your song
But your soul with the Polestar shines on.

I was in Manchester two months after the attack and visited Barra in August 2017. One of Eilidh’s friends spoke to me of her talent and love of music. Let light perpetual shine upon her.
A beautiful song with lyrics that are a fitting tribute to a lovely young lady who left this world far too soon. 💜
You are beautiful, amazing people and we cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for us through your music. You have been by our side since day one and it has meant the world to us. Your love, your kindness and your unfailing friendship has been a real rock for us during this whole process. We cannot calculate the scale of your impact on building a legacy for Eilidh but all we can do is say Thank You. Mòran Taing. 💜
Thank you for writing this beautiful song in memory of a beautiful young girl. My heart goes out to you all 💖
