Formed in Skye in 1973 the Celtic Rock act were one of the first big acts from Scotland to openly embrace their Gaelic heritage before embarking on a 39 year career (they’re not quite 40 yet!) that has seen them sell out venues all over the world. The band have recently released Stepping Down the Glory Road (The Chrysalis Years 1988-1996)
Speaking via Runrig.com founding band member Rory Macdonald said “Our 40 Year is about celebrating where we came from and looking forward to our future. This will really be a celebration of everything Runrig and we promise a year that the fans will not forget. We want to thank the loyal fans who have been with us from the beginning and those who have come on board at various points of the journey.
