With lyrics from acclaimed Scottish singer, Adam Holmes, and a tune from piper and whistle player, Steven Blake (both members of the band), ‘Between the Pines’ is a stirring, anthemic song from RURA’s hotly anticipated second album, ‘Despite the Dark’, released on April 27.<\/p>\n
One of the most hotly anticipated – and feverishly requested – albums in recent years, the standout recording was produced by renowned Scottish multi-instrumentalist, Ali Hutton.<\/p>\n
Rugged yet disciplined, heartfelt whilst rousing, refreshingly contemporary but rooted in tradition, all-together punch-packing\u2026 Rura are at the forefront of Scottish folk.<\/p>\n
Internationally renowned for their powerhouse mix of highland pipes, whistle, flute, fiddle, bodhran, guitar and voice, Rura are one of the most sought-after bands of their generation. Steven Blake, Jack Smedley, David Foley and Adam Brown create hard-hitting, muscular, yet intricately arranged and lyrical, instrumentals to match singer\/songwriter Adam Holmes\u2019 haunting songcraft \u2013 a perfected mix that has seen them rise to headline status at festivals throughout the UK and Europe.<\/p>\n
Since bursting on to the scene in 2010, as award winners at Glasgow\u2019s Celtic Connections festival, Rura have firmly established themselves as a major force. The release of their heralded first album, Break It Up, in 2012 was accompanied by multiple award wins and nominations \u2013 including the running for the BBC Radio 2 Horizon Award 2013 \u2013 and now the five-piece\u2019s second release is set to go, and take them, even further.<\/p>\n
