Powerhouse Scottish band to rock festival

Award-winning Scottish band Skipinnish has secured the headline slot at this year's Mull of Kintyre Music Festival (MOKFest) Glen Scotia West Coast Rocks Concert.

 

With support acts Ceol An Aire from Oban and Argyll Ceilidh Trail completing the line-up, the Saturday August 13 event promises to offer a full festival experience in one night.

 

Skipinnish are riding an ever-growing wave of popularity since beginning in 1999. An increase in band members, which include lead vocals and a full back line, has seen the band hit the top of the Scottish and international music scene.

 

With hit after hit of self-penned songs and a strong mix of powerful bagpipe, fiddle and accordion-led tune sets, they encompass the very best of contemporary Celtic music.

 

Five-piece traditional band Ceol An Aire have performed at some of Scotland's top festivals and events since forming in 2010 and are looking forward to their MOKFest date in 2023.

 

Argyll Ceilidh Trail, showcasing the talents of the area's young musicians, will kick off the West Coast Rocks Concert with a special ceilidh/festival set.

 

Tickets for all this year’s concerts, also featuring The Fiona Hunter Trio, Kathleen MacInnes with Mike Vass, Skara Ceilidh Band, Mairi Campbell, Archie McAllister with Sileas Sinclair, Slainte Davaar Allstars and Kintyre Schools Pipe Band, are available locally from A P Taylor, Main Street, Campbeltown, and online at www.mokfest.com/tickets
