Mànran | Dragon Soop Artist of the Week in Scotland On Sunday, 15 September 2024
Mànran have released a new folk-pop single ahead of their forthcoming UK-tour and Carnegie Hall debut, write Derick Mackinnon and Olaf Furniss read on Scotsman.com
Seven-strong folk group Mànran will release super catchy folk-pop song Standing Still on Friday, ahead of a UK tour.
Penned by Kim Carnie and Aidan Moodie, it’s their most commercial sounding song to date. A tribute to their love of pop music, the track retains Mànran’s trademark trad-folk roots and instrumentation, with Uilleann pipes, fiddle and accordion provided by Ewen Henderson, Gary Innes, Marcus Cordock, Ryan Murphy and Mark Scobbie. It was recorded and produced by UTR favourite Ross Hamilton aka Buzzkiller Music (Robbie Williams, Olly Murs).
The band have enjoyed airplay across the BBC and as far afield as Australia, earning the coveted International Artist of the Year award at the Australian Celtic Music Awards.
They play live this Thursday on the Isle Of Colonsay, in Fort William on Saturday as part of Lochaber Live festival (organised by the band’s Gary Innes) with further dates in Oban, Aviemore, Kingussie, Aberdeen, Stirling, Glasgow’s Hoolie in the Hydro and a performance at New York’s Carnegie Hall in April 2025.
