Brilliant performance from the moment the boys stepped onto the stage the place was electric. Very talented, funny and charismatic band members. The audience were jumping all night! Would highly recommend this band and Darvel Music Festival.

A fantastic night-they were brilliant! But why no kilts among the audience? I heard some Scottish voices but no dressing up! :( All good apart from that-great sound, good venue, late bar and lots of bar staff so minimal queuing. Lovely merch including bobble hats. Wonderful music and Alec in good voice-really enjoyed it. Come again soon!

Skerryvore Winter Tour 2024

Skerryvore are like no one else. Epic of melody, intimate of feeling and plugged into the roots of Scotland. With a mix of bagpipes, fiddles, accordions and whistles, alongside guitar and vocals, underpinned by driving bass, drums and keys. Their now seven studio albums demonstrate the wide range of influences the individual musicians bring to the mix, a unique fusion of folk, trad, pop and rock.

Three singles from the latest album, Tempus  went to Number 1 in both the Official Scottish Album and UK Folk Albums charts and entered the Top 40 in the Official UK Charts.

Three time winners of Scotland’s ‘Live Act of the Year’ award, Skerryvore have evolved from their humble beginnings to become one of the country’s leading forces in a thriving live music scene. At the forefront of a movement that has reinvented and reignited a traditional Scottish scene for a modern, multicultural audience, the band have brought their high energy performances to audiences across the globe. From their early days in Scottish West Coast halls and bars, to festival crowds in the USA, Canada, Australia and throughout the UK and Europe, Skerryvore’s wide range of influences and talent produce a musically expansive, immersive yet intimate set that excites and captivates audiences.

With a mix of bagpipes, fiddles, accordions, and whistles, alongside guitar and vocals, underpinned by driving bass, drums and keys, Skerryvore represent the best in contemporary Scottish traditional music. Their 6 studio albums demonstrate the wide range of influences the individual musicians bring to the mix – a unique fusion of folk, trad, pop and rock. Their latest studio album ‘Tempus’, due for release on April 28, is already making waves in the UK music scene, with the first three single releases – You & I, Together Again & Everything You Need – all having been consecutively chosen to feature on the BBC Radio 2 new music playlist. To celebrate the release of the new album, Skerryvore will be bringing the Tempus Tour to audiences across the UK, Europe and USA.

Skerryvore: new album and tour dates

Skerryvore have reinvented and reignited Scottish roots music with a modern alt-pop flavour that has connected with an ever-expanding multicultural global audience. But as the pandemic broke, the octet’s international touring immediately ceased. Yet from challenge came opportunity. Vocalist/guitarist Alec Dalglish had the time to develop his initial song ideas in more depth, while subsequent full band sessions in bagpiper/whistle player Scott Wood’s studio in Glasgow benefited from the freedom such an independent environment provided them. And when they returned in 2021 with ‘You & I’, the track became their first to be playlisted at Radio 2 buoyed by huge support from Jeremy Vine.

Further emboldened by the Celtic-tinged funk-rock follow-up ‘Together Again’, Skerryvore focused on broadening the core of their sound with a fresh pop immediacy and wider stylistic adventures. The result is  Tempus , an album epic of melody, intimate of feeling and plugged into the roots of Scotland but blasting out to the world.

Alec Dalglish says,  “We wanted to get the production bigger, more fully formed. We wanted to make music on a much bigger scale, to reach a lot more people. But in doing that, we also had to write and record songs that are still what make Skerryvore what we are.”

Skerryvore exceeded that goal, which they now showcase by launching  Tempus  with two new recordings. A remastered version of ‘You & I’ adds some fresh sparkle to the end-of-the-night, jump-around celebration of communion and connection that made it such a fan favourite. It’s accompanied by ‘Vancouver Island’, an urgent, charging instrumental which speaks to the band’s desire to ensure that their non-vocal tracks have the same dynamic structure as their singalong moments. It paints a picture of the mixed ambience of its location: its striking natural scenery and its rich bagpipe history, but also its surprising current levels of poverty.

Elsewhere,  Tempus  is rich with the top tier musicianship that Skerryvore are renowned for, as well as an increasingly diverse musical palette. They’ve taken a rip-it-up-and-start-again approach to genre, blending anthemic highs, strident rock, stadium-ceilidh thrills and subtle dance beats into a sound that instantly transports the listener to a famously good-time Skerryvore gig. And while the record is predominantly a homegrown collection, it was completed with mastering courtesy of the 21-time Grammy Award winner Howie Weinberg (U2, Nirvana, PJ Harvey).

Skerryvore consists of eight musicians, each of which are either classically trained or have mastered their skills within the world of live trad music: founders Daniel Gillespie (accordion), his brother Martin (bagpipes), Alec Dalglish (vocals, guitar) and Fraser West (drums), along with Scott Wood (bagpipes, whistles), Craig Espie (nicknamed The Angry Fiddler), Jodie Bremaneson (bass) and Alan Scobie (piano, keys). Almost everything they’ve achieved to date – six studio albums, a live record and a ‘best of’ collection celebrating their first decade together – has been done entirely independently. But  Tempus  also represents a new beginning as their first album under a new deal with Cooking Vinyl.

Tempus  is now available to pre-order  HERE , with ‘You & I’ and ‘Vancouver Island’ provided as instant downloads. In addition to the regular digital, CD and vinyl formats, there are a range of limited edition formats available: transparent magenta vinyl (exclusive to select UK indie stores) transparent violet vinyl (exclusive to Assai), plus a transparent blue vinyl, limited run of signed test pressings and 8 cassette variants (exclusive to the band’s new official Townsend store).

Skerryvore have also announced a UK release tour which commences in March 2023.

“According to some friends in the know, there’s something special about a man in a kilt. While I cannot personally vouch for that, I do know exciting music when I hear it. And, after going down the whisk(e)y rabbit hole not long ago, I also know that taking time to taste wee drams from across Scotland introduced by members of this great band makes for a memorable, sense-heightening evening.”  – 2023 Best of the Bay Awards

Music is universally understood to have the ability to change the mood of a person, a group of people or an entire audience. But can it change or enhance the taste of whisky? We believe it can when the right music is selected and performed to match the whisky.

‘The Whisky Sessions’ is an interactive session hosted by Skerryvore that takes the audience on a journey of Scotland’s famous whisky regions and distilleries with music as the vehicle.

Audience members will get to sample 4 or 5 specially selected malt whiskies with each ‘dram’ having a piece of music selected and performed to match that whisky during the tasking. The band will aslo reflect on personal experiences and stories linked to each particular whisky and/or region that again enhances the personal and intimate nature of this session.

Skerryvore Lighthouse marks a very extensive and treacherous reef of rocks lying off the Hebrides approximately 11 miles south west of Tiree. It is Scotland’s tallest lighthouse.

The name, Skerryvore, is derived from the Gaelic words “Sgeir” meaning the rock and “mhor” (“mh” is pronounced “v”) meaning big. The lighthouse was built of granite quarried on the Island of Mull during the six years from 1838 to 1844, to the design of Alan Stevenson, Engineer and constitutes an outstanding example of lighthouse engineering. The beautiful symmetry of the outline of the tower ranks it amongst the most graceful of all lighthouse towers. The height of the tower is 156ft with a diameter of 42ft at the base, tapering to 16ft at the top.

Alan Stevenson and his workmen landed on the rock in June 1838 to undertake the first task which was to erect a wooden barrack for housing the men during their stay throughout the coming summers, which were to be regarded as the working seasons.

When possible, Stevenson and his men worked a 17 hour day. They landed on the rock at 4am each morning and worked until 8pm each night with two half-hour breaks. Landing on the rock was often impossible and it was soon obvious that the barrack would not be completed the first season. On 11 September the season finished and the uncompleted barrack stood for two months before it was totally destroyed during a severe gale on 3 November. Although this represented a severe setback to plans, Alan Stevenson refused to be moved from his belief that it was possible to erect a lighthouse on the Skerryvore reef.

On 6 May 1839 work resumed on the erection of a new barrack and on the excavation of the foundations. It wasn’t a surprise that progress was minimal due to cranes, tools and materials being swept into the sea. Despite these frustrations, the barrack was finally completed on 3 September and the year’s ‘season’ came to an end.

While two or three dozen men were employed on the rock, much larger groups of men were employed on the Ross of Mull quarrying the granite for the tower. The massive blocks of stone were then dispatched by tender to Hynish on the island of Tiree where a further workforce dressed and shaped the stones so that when they were landed on the rock each would fit perfectly onto and into the adjoining sets.

On 30 April 1840 the workmen landed on the rock for the start of the season’s operations and found to their relief that the barrack had withstood the winter’s gales. After the disappointment of the previous year they now seemed to be making headway and on 4 July they started work on the actual tower. Three days later the Duke of Argyll, accompanied by the Duchess, landed on the rock and with due ceremony, laid the foundation stone of the tower. Work pressed on now and the precise work done at Hynish by the masons bore fruit and enabled the rock workmen to set as many as 85 blocks in a day. By the end of the season the tower had risen to a height of 8 feet 2 inches.

The new season began again on 20 May 1841 and by 8 July, the solid base of the tower was completed. Work ended for that year on 17 August when 37 of the 97 courses of stone had been laid.

The 19th May saw the start of operations in 1842 and on 25 July the last stone of the top was laid. The masonry of the tower was now 137 feet 11 inches in height and it contained 58,580 cubic feet of material of about 4,308 tons. The lantern arrived in sections and was assembled during August and September of that year.

In January 1843 Alan Stevenson was appointed Engineer to the Lighthouse Commissioners and the final stages of the tower were left to his younger brother Thomas, who succeeded him as resident engineer and was later to become Engineer to the Board. Thomas Stevenson visited the rock on 29 March 1843 and found the whole structure watertight. The rest of that season was spent in repointing the tower and fitting the interior which comprised 11 rooms in all.

The tower was now ready for manning and on 1 February 1844, Skerryvore beamed out for the first time. Two large fog bells were sounded 1 stroke every ½ minute. The larger of these bells is in St Connan’s Kirk, Loch Awe.

From February 1844, when it was first exhibited, the white light flashed out each night without fail until the night of 16 March 1954 when a disastrous fire broke out and badly damaged the structure. As a temporary measure an unmanned lightvessel (ex Otter Rock) was laid in position 4 miles 235° from Skerryvore on 24 March 1954 (Notice to Mariners No 3 of 1954 refers) exhibiting a flashing light which gave one flash of 0.5 seconds duration every 6 seconds.

In July 1955 these two lights were discontinued (Notice to Mariners No 13 of 1955 refers) and the Dalen revolving light, giving one flash of 0.5 seconds duration every 10 seconds, was re-exhibited until further notice.

In October 1958 the Dalen light was replaced by a temporary watched light (Notice to Mariners No 22 of 1958 refers) which exhibited one flash of 3 seconds duration every 10 seconds which remained in operation until 6 August 1959 on which date the present light (Notice to Mariners No 11 of 1959 refers), which exhibits one flash every 10 seconds, was re-established.

Reconstruction work on the lighthouse commenced in 1956 and was completed in 1959 when the light was made electric. It is now a self-generating station, power being produced by 3 diesel generators, any one of which is able to carry the full station load.

In mid July 1940 a stick of bombs dropped at Skerryvore, exploded on the rock near the tower, cracking 2 lantern panes and shattering an incandescent mantle.

Communication between personnel on the Rock and those ashore was initially by visual means. The Signal Tower at Hynish, South Western Tiree, was built during the period 1840 – 1843 under the supervision of the Board’s Engineer, Alan Stevenson LLB, FRSE, MICE. The purpose of the Signal Tower was to transmit and receive semaphore signals to or from Skerryvore Lighthouse (visibility permitting) at pre-arranged times or otherwise in the case of an emergency. At this time, which was before the introduction of wireless telephone, this was the only means of communication with the lightkeepers of Skerryvore, some 14 miles distant from Hynish. The Hynish Shore Station offered few advantages and its remote situation, destitute of any shelter for shipping, decided the Commissioners to transfer the Station to Earraid on the Island of Mull. On the accomplishment of this transfer in 1892, the land owned on Tiree was sold to the Duke of Argyll, but with the exception of the Signal Tower which is now the Skerryvore museum.

With the advent of radio and its ability to remit communication over greater distances, the Shore Station, for this and other social reasons, was re-located at Oban.

In 1972 a concrete helicopter pad with additional fuel storage tanks contained therein was constructed on the rocks at the base of the tower. This allowed the reliefs to be carried out by a helicopter which is not so likely to be affected by adverse weather conditions.

Skerryvore Lighthouse was automated in 1994.

Interview with Scottish Band Skerryvore

Scottish band Skerryvore is currently touring the United States and will be playing a free concert on the Memorial Union Terrace on July 30, 2022, at 7:00 p.m. in Madison, Wisconsin. We spoke to the band to learn more about the music and the upcoming concert.

1. How has the band’s sound evolved over the years ?

Alec Dalglish : We’ve gone through quite a large progression in our sound over the 17 years as a band. In the beginning our style was heavily rooted in the traditional genre of Ceilidh music which is played throughout the west coast of Scotland, and we’d often play for dancing at local village halls and pubs throughout the Highlands and Islands. At that point we weren’t writing any of our own music, and the biggest change in our sound came once we decided we wanted to start writing our own material and move towards adding more songs as opposed to solely instrumental music.

The sound of Skerryvore is really a combination of the various musical tastes of each band member, and as we’ve progressed towards more self-penned material the influence of rock and pop has grown more present. It was always important to us for the original traditional roots of the band to remain, and it’s the combination of these two worlds that really defines our sound as a band. 

2. The pandemic brought touring to a halt. What did Skerryvore’s band members do during the lockdown? 

Martin Gillespie : We managed to write and record some new music during the various lockdowns. With us not being able to meet together it was a new process to record in isolation which was a great experience. We recorded and released a charity single called Everyday Heroes in support of our National Health Service, which went to No1 in the Official music charts in Scotland. We also released two further singles which were playlisted on BBC Radio 2, achieving our first ever national radio playlisting.

Once we were able to meet together, we performed 3 live-streamed concerts from different locations in Scotland, which were viewed in over 40 countries worldwide. We also kept active on our social media channels, with Alec performing live solo concerts most Friday nights and me hosting cocktail nights with music!

3. When did you start performing live again?

Daniel Gillespie : We were very fortunate to be one of the few bands to be granted a National Interest Exemption (NIE) last summer to allow us to travel stateside when many others could not. Part of this was down to us being selected to perform at the Ryder Cup in Whistling Straits, which was an amazing way to return to live touring after a long break. However, it was not long before touring stopped again because of Omicron variant and that was probably a tougher period to manage since we had a taste of live touring again.

Thankfully, we are now back touring full-time and looking forward to finally performing at these summer festivals that were booked way back in 2019!  

4. What material will be performing at your Madison, Wisconsin concert? Alan Scobie : We will be performing a mixture of material ranging from our two most recent singles ‘ You and I ’ and ‘ Together Again ’ and right back to the earlier days with tune sets such as ‘ Ginger Grouse Jigs ’ The set consists of a range of material from all the albums in between and the live show demonstrates the evolution of the band right up to several tracks from our most recent studio albums ‘ EVO’ and ‘ Chasing the Sun ’ .

5. What’s the current band lineup?

Jodie Bremaneson : Skerryvore are: Martin Gillespie , bagpipes and whistles; Daniel Gillespie , accordion; Craig Espie , fiddle; Scott Wood, bagpipes and whistles; Alec Dalglish , vocals and guitar; Jodie Bremaneson , bass; Alan Scobie , keyboards; and Fraser West , drums. Our music is a fusion of Scottish folk with rock and contemporary pop, blending traditional instrumentation such as the Highland bagpipes alongside electric guitars, bass, drums and keys to create our own distinctive and energetic style.  The songs of Skerryvore take inspiration from songwriters classic and current.  Our instrumental tune sets combine styles from rock, funk and electronic music alongside Traditional and original melodies that are infused with a deep respect for our Scottish Folk roots.

6. Your last studio album was “ EVO ” in 2018 and your overall last album was a live recording titled “ Live across Scotland ” released in 2020. Are you planning to release any recordings soon?

Fraser West : We’ve actually just finished recording a new album. It’s in its final stages of getting mixed before being sent off to get mastered. It feels like a really long time since we’ve released a studio album, so this is really exciting for us, and we can’t wait for people to hear it and start performing stuff live. We don’t have a definite release date yet, but the album will be out next year, with hopefully one single out towards the end of this year.
