FRAS have stormed their way through the West coast of Scotland and beyond with their iconic pipe heavy sound. A thundering four piece from na Garbh Chrìochan of box, flute, pipes and guitar. FRAS blend old melodies and original tunes to create a crashing wave of highland music. Tearing up dancefloors in their wake and leaving audiences captivated. Their debut album, Dìle, is a forecast of what’s to come. More than just a shower, a heavy downpour: FRAS

Tha fìor dheagh ruitheaman air dheagh phuirt agus spiorad aig astar a tha cho taitneach ’s a tha a’ toirt ort a bhith ’son èisteachd ris a-rithist agus a-rithist… Frasan fuarain ciùil o na Garbh Chrìochan! Ailean Dòmhnullach

We had a year off last NYE, sticking to a simpler night of pub craic, stupid amounts of food and falling asleep on the couch, dram in hand, little paper hat on.

This year it’s time to clear out the dining room, lock up the breakables, dust off those purple velvet dancing shoes and invite some top musical talent to turn 2024 into 2025 for us.

Byebye ’24… how ye doin there ’25!
