The 20th of July welcomes the the third year of the Elphin Music Festival.

The Whiskys thumb1 - Elphin Music Festival

The festival draws from local talent as well as a few gems from further afield. Headliners for the inaugural event will be The Whiskys recently named in the Belladrum 2013 line-up and putting in an impressive performance, despite the late call up for goNORTH 2013. Another act who played goNORTH, on the line-up for Elphin, is Jemma Tweedie who has an impressively schedule of gigs coming up as well as planning her follow-up to her impressive debut EP . Joshua Mackenzie fronted Lionel will also be joining the acts and no doubt will impressive with their brand of indie tunes that have been received so very well in Inverness.

The Maginot Band bring their “indie organ pop psychedelia (the band are no longer able to play) join the country tinged rock styling of Cuddly Shark who recently launched The Road to Ugly and so do MIR  whose blues tinged rock ‘n’ roll has been winning fans in the know over the past few months.

A notefrom the editor

Support live music in Inverness by supporting IGigs! For over 10 years, IGigs has been showcasing the best of the local music scene through previews, reviews, photographs, and more. But maintaining the website incurs costs, and your support can help keep this invaluable resource alive.

A lifelong passion for music matched with a geeky fascination for social media and websites resulted in the creation of Inverness Gigs back in 2010. The aim of the site is to help promote, support and generally raise awareness of the local music scene.In fairness fifteen years of being a psychiatric nurse never prepared me for the experiences that we have had over the last few years and the evolution of Inverness Gigs has certainly been a steep learning curve.I currently write (less and less), edit and co-ordinate most of the Inverness Gigs activities.Occasionally seen on Twitter, and  LinkedIn, if you want get in touch you can contact me via our Facebook page.
