Get ready for an electrifying night as The Tumbling Paddies take the stage in the Osprey Arena at Aviemore Resort on Friday 29 August! One of Ireland’s most exciting live acts, this high-energy band has captivated audiences across the globe with chart-topping hits like The Way I Am and Pretty Girl.

From humble beginnings performing at local pubs and weddings in County Fermanagh, The Tumbling Paddies have steadily grown to become one of Ireland’s most sought-after entertainers. Music has been a lifelong passion for the band, with each member having earned All-Ireland Fleadh Champion medals in their own right. Their dedication and drive have taken them from small-town stages to sold-out venues across Ireland — and far beyond.

They’ve packed out iconic venues including the TF Castlebar and INEC Killarney, and toured internationally in Dubai, Germany, Spain, and the UK. Now, they’re bringing that same unstoppable energy, original sound, and incredible atmosphere to Aviemore for one night only.

Check out who is playing here – we look forward to seeing you!

‘Lock Inn’ with Jemima & The Fuse; an experimental, alternative folk duo made of singer Jemima Thewes and Hidden Orchestra drummer Tim Lane. A hearty ride of cloud-hopping tales, deep resonance and intricate rhythms, sliding into after show dance vibes.
If you were lucky to catch these two when they performed with the Langan Band a couple of years ago you may recall the high vibe in the Tipi that night.
Don’t miss this one folks.. its going to be really special.

The Senior Fèis Spè Band “Monadh Ruadh” will be playing for you today. Monadh Ruadh is the original Gaelic name for Cairngorm, and means “The Red Mountain”.

Since 1991, that has been the role of Fèis Spe in the community of Badenoch and Strathspey, offering children and young people here access to tuition in Traditional Music and Gaelic with opportunities to play and perform.
