One of Scotland’s most celebrated folk bands Mànran will take to the stage at The Queen’s Hall, Edinburgh on Saturday 1st April 2023, their first gig in the capital city since 2017.
Mànran ended 2022 with a bang, headlining Hoolie in the Hydro at the Ovo Hydro in Glasgow. The world-first event was the biggest night of traditional music to ever have taken place and was organised by one of the founding band members Gary Innes. The band then finished the year playing the Hogmanay Show on BBC One, alongside Lewis Capaldi. The band have also recently returned from a tour of Denmark for a run of Scottish shows.
The multi-award-winning group has been at the heart of the Scottish traditional music scene for over a decade. Internationally recognised as one of the most iconic and respected Scottish bands on the road today, the seven-piece show no signs of slowing down as they continue to push boundaries and explore new musical and geographical territory, bringing their uplifting and unique live performances to stages across the world.
With three hugely successful studio albums under their belt, in October 2021 Mànran released their fourth, titled ÙRAR to critical acclaim, and adding to their success, lead female vocalist, Kim Carnie was crowned Gaelic Singer of the Year at the 2021 Hands up for Trad Awards. Their 2021 single Crow Flies is currently also part of the soundtrack of Crerar Hotels’ national television adverts.
Gary Innes from Mànran said:
We can’t wait to return to perform in Edinburgh’s beautiful Queen’s Hall after so long away from the capital. We’ve been touring all over recently but we’re delighted to be back performing in Scotland again – I hope everyone’s as excited for the gig as we are!
