TICKETS are now on sale for Celtic fusion band Shooglenifty's performance at Findhorn's Universal Hall.
The trailblazing Scottish band will perform at the Moray music venue on Sunday May 21 at 7.30pm.
Shooglenifty was formed in 1990 by musicians from the Scottish Highlands, Orkney and Edinburgh. Its bright spark was the idea of fusing traditional and traditional-sounding melodies with the beats and bass-lines of a mixed bag of more contemporary influences.
As happy playing a small highland village hall as they are on an outdoor festival stage playing to tens of thousands, the Shoogles (as they’re known to their fans) have promoted Scottish music all over the world for three decades.
In a career spanning many firsts – the first band to incite a stage invasion at the Sydney Opera House, the first UK band to play in Cuba, and the first Scots to perform in the Borneo Rainforest – Shooglenifty blazed a trail that many other top Scottish traditional bands have followed. They will get you on your feet with their electric new tunes and a full-on set of old favourites.
Shooglenifty reached the ripe old age of 30 in 2020. Hopes that they would finally settle down to the quiet life were dashed when they accepted an invitation to start the year in style by performing at midnight for Edinburgh’s Hogmanay.
On sparkling form and armed with a brand-new album of fresh tunes, released during lockdown, the Shoogles will entertain as only they can.
Tickets are available online here.
Tickets cost £17 for General Admission, £15 for Concessions and £13 for Under 16’s.
