    No i have to admit I hadnt seen you raving about them, but fair play you were right, but this latest single is getting lots of air time on Radio 2 which is where i have heard it many times.

    You know I just searched the forum and I might have only raved to the admins :D that's the only reference I can find with me and Skerryvore mentioned what a shame I never posted about them on the open forum.

    They did a great version of Runrig's Rocket to the Moon as well and a good version of Dougie Maclean's Caledonia although Dougie's version always makes me cry.

    Another great band in similar vein is Skippinish.

    This is their version of Caledonia.




    This is Dougie's, I am certain I saw Dougie perform this in Paisley folk club back near the end of the 1970s.

    Soraidh Slan and The Rise.

    I've pre-selected the position this started at in the stream.

    I missed 2019 didn't have enough annual leave left to do August, I did 2017 and 2018 the full weekend Friday to Monday both times, I stay with my mate Norrie and his partner Sue and we all attend the festival, postponed last year and this year is a bit too expensive and probably still an open question if it will be on this year.

    This shot below is my arm at 34:38 in the Shrewsbury video :D

    That's where I took most of my shots from that weekend but I did go up and around the mosh pit a few times for other bands, Skerryvore were so good I didn't want to move from my seat I just wanted to listen.

    edit: I was using the Canon 70-200 F4 L for a lot of this, brilliant lens.

    If you liked this one Mike here is The Rut at about 46 minutes another brilliant Rock piece.

    I think actually two pieces that run one after the other.

    The boys are from Skye, Scott the most recent member is from Erskine near where I used to live.

    Actually I'm wrong Martin and Daniel (the brothers) are from Tiree.

    I was in Skye as a child, my dad took us all over Scotland when I was small might have been in Tiree, I know I have been in some of the Hebridean islands at one point, but I doubt I have been to the isle of Skerryvore.

    edit: :D in fact I am pretty certain I have never been to the rock :D it's basically a lighthouse :D
