Now in its 4th year, and firmly established on the Scottish events calander, Blas Festival returns to Highlands to continue celebrating Highland and Gaelic music and culture. The ever growing programme is made up of both well established artists and newcomers, traditional musicians and contemporary takes on Highland music.
Blas runs from 5th - 13th September, across the Highlands. Tickets are available from www.thebooth.co.uk
Here are some of the acts we're looking forward to seeing:
- Ceilidh Trails - if you're keen to catch some more fresh talent then make sure you make it to one of the 6 different Ceilidh trails.
- Canntaireachd - more young talent from the Feisean!
- From Ireland and Scotland, don't miss two of the most beautiful voices from two gorgeous girls -Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh and Julie Fowlis.
- For something a bit more relaxed, don't miss the authentic Gaelic music of Meantime
- The lovely Rona Lightfoot, always a treat!
- If you're looking for something with a bit more, check out Ùrachadh - a journey told through the song, story and the music of North West Sutherland.
But these are just the tip of the iceberg, so please go to Blas Festival's own website to check out the full line up - including such highligts as: Skippinish, Còmhlan Luaidh Bhàideanach, Dàimh, Fiona Mackenzie, Iain Mackay, Rachel Walker, Ishbel MacAskill, Jenna Cumming, The Macdonald Brothers, Maeve MacKinnon and The Vatersay Boys!
