FOREST FOLK

SKIPINNISH - MONDAY 15 AUGUST 2022

Skipinnish are hitting new heights and their 2019 album, “Steer by the Stars” has given the band another huge surge in popularity, reaching No 4 in the mainstream UK download charts - astounding for a traditional Celtic music band. With hit after hit of self penned songs and a strong mix of powerful bagpipe, fiddle and accordion led tune sets, they encompass the very best of contemporary Celtic Music. (www.skipinnish.com)
