RUNRIG

The original Runrig performed for the first time in 1973. Since then the group has followed a long and successful road and Runrig has grown into  a popular and successful band that does not back away from continued development and change.

They have had several top-listings, performed with artists such as Rod Stewart, Rolling Stones and U2 and have toured a lot out of the UK, in the last years also building a solid following in Denmark, Germany and other countries on the Continent.

Although by no means a traditional folk band, Runrig’s songs reflects the Gaelic tradition and throughout the years they have been part in the evolving fightback for the Gaelic language. Their breakthrough in 1987 put the spotlights on the Gaelic traditions and Runrig shows that you do not need to understand the words to get a meaning of their songs

The successful concept in Runrig’s music is the gentle and curious blend of tradition and development of the Gaelic culture in modern society.
