Shooglenifty – and Ciaran Ryan Band

The band exploded on to the Scottish music scene in 1995, and has gone on to play worldwide. They invented ‘Acid Croft’, a fiery and exhilarating fusion of traditional Scottish music and other styles. Shooglenifty is famous for raw, wild festival performances, with dazzling melodies and killer rhythms, and once incited a stage invasion at the Sydney Opera House.

Folk fusion sensations Shooglenifty bring their zest and zeal to Celtic Connections with support from one of the foremost tenor banjo players in the UK.
