Skerryvore will provide pre-match entertainment at the Glasgow Warriors versus Edinburgh Rugby 1872 cup game, which will be played at Hampden Park in Glasgow, Scotland, an unprecedented move for rugby in Glasgow and the west of Scotland.
Skerryvore includes brothers Daniel on accordion and Martin Gillespie on pipes, whistles and accordion.
“For the first time in history, defending BKT URC champions Glasgow Warriors will take their home tie to Hampden Park, as they take on Edinburgh Rugby in a new battlefield on Sunday 22nd December (kick-off 3pm).”
“Glasgow Warriors will run out at the home of Scottish football, marking the latest battleground upon which Franco Smith’s men will take on Edinburgh in rugby’s oldest club rivalry.”
Skerryvore says “To say that it’s an honour and privilege to be invited to perform at the national stadium is perhaps the biggest of all understatements… absolutely buzzing for this!!”
The group are twice winners of Scotland’s Traditional Music ‘Live Act of the Year’ Award (2016 & 2011).
