'Gaelic folk superstars' – Ents company shares videos for up-and-coming Mànran gig in Wick

An entertainment promoter shared videos of the multi award-winning Scottish supergroup Mànran who will be playing in Wick at The Waterfront on May 5.

Mànran have been at the heart of the Scottish traditional music scene for over a decade and after their appearance on BBC1’s Hogmanay show and playing alongside Lewis Capaldi, Highland Castle Entertainment is proudly hosting the Gaelic folk superstars live in Wick for a one-off night of bouncing live trad music with support from Fèis air an Oir.

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 the band released their fourth, titled ÙRAR to critical acclaim, and adding to their success, lead female vocalist, Kim Carnie was crowned 'GaelicSinger of the Year' at the 2021 Hands up for Trad Awards.

Having played in over 30 countries, including the USA, Asia and Australia (where they were awarded the accolade “International Artist of the Year” at the Australian Celtic Music Awards) this multifaceted musical powerhouse has gathered a loyal fanbase worldwide, due to their self-penned tunes performed on a mixture of traditional and modern instruments, outstanding songs in Gaelic and English and vibrant live performances.

Tickets £22 and £25 (seated balcony) 18+ only. Call 0800 999 4441 or they can be purchased from www.ticketsource.co.uk
