Saturday 31 December will see the venue open their doors for the Highland’s biggest indoor party!  We are thrilled that Rhythmnreel will be on stage to take in the bells for 2023.

Based in the Highlands of Scotland, Rhythmnreel are a Rock band with an upbeat foot stomping Celtic vibe.. Their music is driven by thumping bass, drums & guitars, embellished with fiddle, whistle & Highland bagpipes, enveloped in the warm tones of the saxophone with songs & melodies that once inside your ears won’t leave you even in your deepest slumber..

The band were formed back in 1993 & have built up a strong & loyal following, both at home in Scotland & overseas with regular tours to Germany, Switzerland & Holland, as well as many Festival appearances around the UK. They have performed at many & varied functions over the years from Marquee dances to Ceilidh’s, from Highland games to weddings & are more than renowned for some memorable & Barn Storming performances in the village halls up & down the North & West coast of Scotland..

In March 2020 the band warmly welcomed to the line up, Singer/ Songwriter & guitarist Davy Cowan & his son Sam Cowan on drums. Davy has been a long time friend to the band and a past collaborator with fiddle player Debbie Ross in the 90’s Easter Ross based Folk/ Rock band ‘Coinneach’ before moving to a solo career recording & touring throughout the UK & Europe.

The band released their new album entitled ‘Holding Out For Freedom’ in July 2021 with the single & video of the same name on 25th June. Also on the album are previous singles, ‘Lonely Mountain Road’ released in April 2020, & their own version of the Western Isles classic ‘The Dark Island’ in December 2020

Cala is a 6 piece trad band based in Inverness. Since independently releasing their debut single in 2020, they have been hard at work evolving their sound, playing major festivals like The Gathering and Belladrum, and making new material for stage and studio. Having recently signed on to Wee Studio Records, Cala’s debut album is now in the works and set to release in early 2023 with two singles already released. The band’s love for their craft and attention to detail in arranging and writing creates Cala’s unique spin on Scottish trad – a fresh, full, and exciting sound.
