Dàimh Big Band and Jiggy
Get ready for an explosive evening of "straight in the eye Highland music" as the multi-award-winning Gaelic supergroup DÀIMH take the stage in a very special Big Band formation!
Renowned as the un-challenged champions of West Highland music, Dàimh embodies the very heart of Gaelic culture, infusing it with contemporary fire. Taking their name from the Gaelic word for "kinship," Dàimh's sound is a pyrotechnic, high-energy fusion of bagpipes, fiddle, mandola, guitar, and the captivating vocals of Gaelic star Ellen MacDonald.
For this unique festival performance, the core five-piece will expand their ranks with an incredible line-up of additional musicians, including extra brass, percussion, and rhythm to create a sound that is truly epic: DàimhMÒR!
Expect an electrifying, fast-flowing mixture of tunes and songs, old and new, that run the full expressive gamut of Highland music at its best. Don't miss this rare opportunity to witness one of the most exhilarating acoustic bands on the Celtic music map in their most ambitious format.
Jiggy continue the tradition of their musical ancestors while bringing a whole new exotic flavour to the table, more of a collective than an orthodox band, Jiggy's mercurial line up mixes and melds Irish traditional music, world rhythms and cutting-edge dance grooves.
