For 2016 we will be Mànran in there debut appearance along with local well known band The Democrats to provide the entertainment. Mànran are one of the best-known and best-loved Scottish bands on the scene today. The 2011 launch of their debut single, ’Latha Math’ heralded a meteoric rise to the top of the Scottish music world that quickly saw them playing many of the most prestigious festivals in Europe despite having only been in existence a few short months. From then, a multi-award-winning debut album followed as the band set about living up to the hype surrounding their early release while establishing their characteristic sound and distinctive approach to musical arrangement.
