Skipinnish is a Scottish Celtic folk band whose maritime melodies and Highland rhythms have surged in popularity since their inception in the late 1990s. The band's name, evocative of the Hebridean seascape, reflects their deep-rooted connection to the traditions and culture of the Scottish Western Isles. Formed by co-founders Angus MacPhail and Andrew Stevenson, Skipinnish captures the essence of Gaelic heritage through a contemporary lens, seamlessly blending accordion and bagpipes with modern backbeats and heartfelt lyrics.

Over the years, Skipinnish has grown in both size and stature, charming audiences with their vibrant stage presence and anthemic tunes. Albums such as "The Seventh Wave" and "Steer by the Stars" showcase the band's evocative storytelling and rich musical craftsmanship, which have become hallmarks of their sound. With their music, they celebrate the storied landscapes and resilient spirit of the Scottish people, as reflected in recent releases like "Fuadaichean," "The Clearances Again," and "Summer Call." Skipinnish not only records studio albums but also commemorates their electric live performances with releases such as "Skipinnish Live From The Ceilidh House," ensuring that the energy of their music resonates far beyond the Scotland seas to listeners worldwide.
