Groundbreaking Scottish mavericks Shooglenifty continue to push the word 'traditional' to its limits with their unique blend of dance vibes and roots music. Genuinely genre defying, they have been described as everything from 'acid croft' to 'hypnofolkadelia'. Journalists may compete for words to describe, but all agree they are virtually impossible not to dance to and one of the best live bands of their genre around.

Shooglenifty's line up is Angus Grant (fiddle), Luke Plumb (mandolin and banjo), Garry Finlayson (banjax), Malcolm Crosbie (guitar), Quee MacArthur (bass) and James Mackintosh (drums and percussion).
