Phil Cunningham & Aly Bain at the Carnegie Hall, Portmahomack in September

Can't wait for this - we've booked our tickets!!!

Accordionist Phil Cunningham will be performing with fiddler Aly Bain at Carnegie Hall, Portmahomack, on September 8 and Strathy Village Hall on September 9.

He said: “The festival is great because it gets to far-flung places and the people there really appreciate the effort that the performers and the festival has put in to getting performers there. That’s what Blas is all about. Highland culture is everywhere, not just restricted to places of high population.”

High-flying musicians will make mark at Highland showcase - Press & Journal
