‘The Rut’ is an instrumental track written by Skerryvore piper Martin Gillespie from the bands latest album ‘Chasing The Sun’
\nInspired by sun-filled summers spent on Tiree that were the springboard for the band forming, \u2018Chasing The Sun\u2019 is the fifth and arguably most mature sounding Skerryvore album.<\/p>\n
Skerryvore first formed on the tiny lsle of Tiree off Scotland\u2019s west coast in 2005. Back then, the band consisted of Tiree-born brothers Daniel Gillespie (accordion) and Martin Gillespie (bagpipes, whistles & accordion) who bonded with holidaymaker Fraser West (drums & vocals) and friend Alec Dalglish (lead vocals & guitar) over a shared love of music: everything from traditional to rock and iazz. It was this mix of musical styles and sounds that set the path for the band\u2019s 2005 debut album, \u2018West Coast Life.\u2019 The more the fledgling band experimented with fusing together this mix of musical styles, the more their signature sound evolved, aided by the arrival of Barry Caulfield (bass & vocals) and Craig Espie (fiddle) in time for their second album, \u2018On The Road\u2019, in 2007.<\/p>\n
But it was with the release of self-titled third album, \u2018Skerryvore\u2019, that the band found themselves catapulted into the musical limelight winning a string of prestigious awards, including SNMA Record of the Year 2011 and STMA Live Act of the Year 2011, and garnering much critical acclaim:<\/p>\n
