Some of Scotland’s top traditional musicians, including Kim Carnie, Gary Innes & Ewen Henderson, Hecla, Staran, Norrie MacIver, Megan Henderson, Mary Ann Kennedy, Paul McKenna, Julie Fowlis, and Sian, will be performing at this year’s Blas Festival, celebrating Gaelic music and culture.
Staran is both an album and the name adopted by a new collective formed by five of the most exciting young talents on the Glasgow folk scene. It’s a gem and an album truly more than the sum of its parts.
Scottish folk collective Staran share their second single and video for Balcarres, named after Balcarres Avenue in Glasgow where John Lowrie once lived. It conveys the joy of nostalgia of those memories beautifully…music to happily lose yourself in.
Some of the most sought-after artists on the Scottish folk scene have come together to create a formidable collective titled Staran. Watch the accompanying video for their debut single Gaol a’ Chruidh.
