FRIDAY MUSIC: Skipinnish, by JD

Skipinnish is a traditional Scottish band founded in 1999 by Angus MacPhail and Andrew Stevenson.

Skipinnish’s roots are deeply entrenched in the rich musical traditions of Scotland. The band’s name, taken from the place where Angus grew up on the Island of Tiree, resonates with their strong connection to the land, sea and Gaelic culture.

Over the years, the ensemble has expanded, welcoming talented musicians who have added vibrant layers to their sound, blending voice, bagpipes, accordions, fiddles, on a rhythmical foundation of Drums, Bass and Keyboards.

Skipinnish's rise to prominence was marked by a string of successful albums and singles that showcased their unique sound and self-penned songs. Their music, often reflective of Highland landscape and culture, resonated with fans globally, earning them numerous accolades. The band’s ability to evoke the spirit of Scotland in their music has been a cornerstone of their success.
