Ceilidh band blazing a trail at music festival

A ceilidh band showcasing the next generation of Argyll folk musicians will play two performances at this year's Mull of Kintyre Music Festival (MOKFest).

 

Argyll Ceilidh Trail will play an acoustic set at the Traditional Concert at Campbeltown Heritage Centre on Saturday August 12 before a full ceilidh/festival to open the Glen Scotia West Coast Rocks Concert in the Victoria Hall later that evening.

 

The Fiona Hunter Trio will be headlining the Traditional Concert, while Skipinnish and Ceol an Aire from Oban will also perform at the Glen Scotia West Coast Rocks Concert.

 

The Argyll Ceilidh Trail features six young, up-and-coming musicians who perform across Argyll. The musicians will be on the road for four weeks visiting Inveraray, Arran, Mull, Tiree and Oban and they are delighted to have the chance to perform acoustic and ceilidh sets at this year's MOKFest.

 

The instrumental arrangement of the band includes guitar, Highland and Border pipes, fiddle, piano, whistle, clarinet and Gaelic song.
