Shooglenifty

Shooglenifty have been at the top of their game since they took the trad music scene by storm 25 years ago. They continue to whip up a frenzy in performance, and never fail to innovate in the studio. With The Untied Knot they continue to blaze their particular, spectacular trail and give every indication that the journey is set to continue.

Treacherous Orchestra have released their first studio album: Origins. It is about energy, joy, exuberance….if we could bottle this energy there’d be no more arguments about wind farms.

The Shoolge Project at Celtic Connections was part gig, part show, part ceilidh…a good night out is rarely as good as this!
