The city of Inverness is set to host the world's largest Hogmanay Ceilidh π₯³ππΊ
The event features top traditional musicians and singers for a night full of dancing and fun! The celebration reflects Hogmanay's traditions and togetherness. The event centres around a traditional ceilidh with musical performances from guest singers and musicians.
Weβve got one of Scotlandβs finest ceilidh bands, Highland Fire who include local lads Calum MacPhail and Sean Cousins from the band Horo, to keep the dancers moving. Then in those moments when a rest is required, we have the absolute best from Scotlandβs traditional music scene.
We are excited to announce that Skipinnish very own Norrie MacIverwill be joining us to perform some songs in both English and Gaelic.
Additionally, Siobhan Miller, a three-time winner of the Scots Trad Music Award and BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winner, will lead us up to the bells.
Our instrumental fireworks will be provided by the multi-award winning duo Ali Hutton and Ross Ainslie, who were the driving force behind The Treacherous Orchestra. They will be joined by Ewan Robertson, who is from the current winners of the "Scots Folk Band of the Year" Breabach.
