RURA are a multi award-winning act and one of Scotland’s most sought-after folk bands. With three heralded albums, RURA affirm their position as one of Scotland’s leading instrumental groups.Their exquisitely rugged yet refined blend of fiddle, Highland pipes, flute, bodhrn and guitar has won a devoted following in many corners of the globe, amongst audiences and critics alike.

We will also be joined by up and coming  folk-pop singer-songwriter Liv Dawn. Liv was selected as a finalist in the prestigious BBC Radio Scotland Singer-Songwriter of the Year Award and has since played sold-out headline shows and performed at festivals including Edinburgh Fringe, Skye Live, HowTheLightGetsIn, Belladrum and Eden Festival.
Tonight, Liv will get the party started in the Lesser Hall, and the first 100 ticket holders to arrive will get to enjoy a bonus performance by her before we open the main hall. So make sure you get down early and don’t miss out!
