Skerryvore has brilliantly redefined Scottish roots music, blending it with modern alt-pop influences to create a captivating sound that resonates with a diverse global audience. The pandemic posed challenges for the octet, halting their international tours, but it also sparked a wave of creativity. Vocalist and guitarist Alec Dalglish seized the opportunity to expand his original song concepts. With the band recording in bagpiper Scott Wood’s Glasgow studio, they crafted a unique space that fostered musical exploration.
Their 2021 single, ‘You and I’, marked a pivotal moment as it became their first track featured on Radio 2, thanks to strong backing from Jeremy Vine. Following this success, the band released the Celtic-rock infused ‘Together Again’, amplifying their sound and style. The culmination of their efforts is the album ‘Tempus’, an emotional journey rooted in Scotland but aimed at a global audience. With its rich melodies and heartfelt lyrics, this album is a must-have for fans of alt-pop and Scottish music.
