Scottish rock legends Runrig are to headline next year’s Hebridean Celtic Festival, it has been announced.

 

The band will close the 21st HebCelt’s ‘coming of age’ celebrations in July.

 

Guitarist and founder member Rory Macdonald said: “Of all the festivals we have played there is no doubt that HebCelt stands alone in the band’s experience. It is the festival that is closest to the music and the people that inspired us. It is very much home ground.”

 

HebCelt director Caroline Maclennan, added: “Runrig are quite rightly regarded as musical legends, not just in Scotland but across the globe.

 

"“Their rise has been mirrored by the increase in interest in the Gaelic language and they are seen as local heroes in these parts. We know their huge following in the islands will be thrilled that they will be back with us in 2016."
