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.

Recent tour reviews

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.

Report as inappropriate

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 Unleash Scottish Roots With Tempus

Skerryvore releases ‘Everything You Need’

Skerryvore excel at using their Scottish roots music as the beating heart behind a contemporary alt-pop sound that’s winning over audiences both home and abroad. It’s a style that they continue to evolve on their upcoming album ‘Tempus’ viaCooking Vinyl on April 28 th , with an intoxicating concoction of anthemic highs, strident rock, stadium-folk thrills and subtle dance beats. Now they start 2023 by sharing the album’s first official single ‘Everything You Need’, which was premiered on Zoe Ball’s Radio 2 Breakfast Show this morning. Listen  HERE.  Watch the video  HERE.

A propulsive pop song with a chorus as big as a Hebridean sky, ‘Everything You Need’ melds those two worlds more cohesively than ever. Luminous synths, the exuberant rush of their live shows and some rootsy, traditional inspiration combine to take Scottish music to the global www. And vocalist Alec Dalglish has never sounded better, his confident topline exalting a belief that better times will eventually triumph over challenging circumstances.

Alec Dalglish says,  “The song is about how life can throw the unexpected at you but that it’s important to trust that you’ll end up on the right path eventually and that sometimes things happen for reasons that may at first be unknown.”

‘Everything You Need’ is the latest song to preview the ‘Tempus’ album after a new version of the Radio 2 playlisted  ‘You & I’  and the urgent instrumental ‘Vancouver Island’. In essence, ‘Tempus’ is Skerryvor e on a grander scale: the productions are bigger and more textured, its choruses are more skybound, and its lyrics are more universal. Equally, however, if you fell in love with the band throughout their rise to date –  six studio albums, a live record and a ‘best of’ collection celebrating their first decade together – ‘Tempus’ remains a very organic next step.

‘Tempus’ is available to pre-order/pre-save  HERE , with ‘Everything You Need’, ‘You & I’ and ‘Vancouver Island’ all provided as instant downloads. Physical formats include a signed limited edition transparent violet vinyl with a Japanese OBI wrap, which is exclusive from Assai Records; plus a limited edition transparent blue vinyl with a signed print as well as eight cassettes formats, each of which feature  a different band member on the cover , along with their signature. Both of these are available from Skerryvore’s official store.

Their upcoming UK headline tour is split between a Scottish leg in March and then a run of shows in England in May. Tickets for the shows, listed below, are available  here . Expect further live announcements to follow soon.

MARCH 17th – Elgin, Town Hall 18th – Kirkwall, Pickaquoy Centre 19th – Strathpeffer, Pavilion 24th – Dunoon, Queen’s Hall 25th – Perth, Concert Hall 26th – Kilmarnock, Centrestage

What are Skerryvore? They’re like no one else. Epic of melody, intimate of feeling and plugged into the roots of Scotland but blasting out to the world.  

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 now 7 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 ’, released in April 2023, all featured on the BBC Radio 2 new music playlist, and the album 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. Skerryvore took their Tempus Tour to audiences across the UK, Europe and USA, with their unique fusion appealing to a wider mix of age groups and tastes.
