This evening is going to be a celebration of Session A9’s long awaited CD, “The Magic Roundabout” which was released at Celtic Connections 2024. The band are excited to come back to An Lanntair and to bring their new music to Stornoway. “This will be a great night. We can’t wait to get out on tour again and perform our new sets to a live audience, its the best feeling ever” said Charlie.
Over the last 20 years, Session A9 have earned their reputation as one of the best live bands in the country, adored by fellow artists and the wider public alike. It’s no wonder they are frequently described as a “Scottish Supergroup”.
Featuring Kevin Henderson, Adam Sutherland, Charlie Mckerron and Gordon Gunn on fiddles, David “Chimp” Robertson on percussion, Marc Clement on guitar and vocals, and Brian McAlpine on keyboards, this will certainly be a night to remember.
