Shooglenifty
Location: Harrison Memorial Hall (290 Esplanade Ave.)
Time: Friday, July 19th, 8:00pm
Shooglenifty was formed in 1990 by musicians from the Scottish Highlands, Orkney and Edinburgh. Its bright spark was the idea of fusing traditional and traditional-sounding melodies with the beats and basslines of a mixed bag of more contemporary influences. As happy playing a small highland village hall as they are on an outdoor festival stage playing to tens of thousands, the Shoogles (as they’re known to their fans) have promoted Scottish music all over the world for three decades. The band has had a long-standing mutual love affair with west coast Canadian audiences, and we are thrilled to have their singular brand of “acid croft” music back in Harrison after several decades.
