Wedding Bands In Scotland

About Music in Scotland

Scotland has a long history of traditional music, which continues to this day alongside it’s modern music counterparts. With famous names like bagpipe-rockers Red Hot Chilli Pipers, violinists Aly Bain and Nicola Benedetti, and deaf percussionist Evelyn Glennie, the country is also home to Lulu, tartan-clad ‘70s boy band Bay City Rollers, twin vocalists The Proclaimers, Annie Lennox, alt-rockers Biffy Clyro, Idlewild, Primal Scream, Garbage, and Franz Ferdinand, not to mention Belle and Sebastian, and Chvrches… among many more.

Scotland has a great many music venues including small independent pubs and large exhibition centres – from Glasgow’s King Tut’s, The Barrowlands and the SEC, to Edinburgh’s Usher Hall, Cabaret Voltaire and Jam House to Hoots in Inverness and Lerwick’s Mareel. There’s a huge choice in festivals too, including the Tartan Heart, T in the Park, Glasgow International Jazz Festival, and TRNSMT, Tiree Music Festival, Edinburgh’s International and Fringe Festivals, Skye Live, and Orkney Folk Festival.

Scotland is well served with music schools devoted to nurturing new musical talent, with institutions including the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, established in Glasgow in 1845, the Army School of Bagpipe Music & Highland Drumming in Edinburgh, and the North East of Scotland Music School in Aberdeen.
