Strathpeffer Pavilion Presents: Treacherous Orchestra
Strathpeffer Pavilion is excited to announce that Scotland’s foremost group of anarchic tunesmiths, Treacherous Orchestra will perform at the venue on Friday 25 April 2014.
Emerging from the vibrant Glasgow folk scene, Treacherous Orchestra take Scottish dance music into a thrilling new dimension. Having grown up under the influence of pioneering fusion acts such as Shooglenifty, Martyn Bennett, Salsa Celtica and Croft No. 5, they draw simultaneously on deep traditional roots and contemporary influences. Featuring bagpipes, whistles, flutes, fiddles, accordion, banjo, guitars, bass, drums and percussion, they combine ferocious energy and sophisticated musical arrangements, with explosive results.
The 12-piece folk-trad supergroup has recently been nominated for ‘Best Group’ at BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and several members of the band are also up for trophies at the MG Alba Scots Trad Awards this year. TO performed at BBC Radio 2’s Live in Hyde Park this summer and has recently been confirmed to return to the world famous Edinburgh Hogmanay street party.
Kris Reid, Strathpeffer Pavilion’s recently appointed Programme Development Manager comments, ‘Treacherous Orchestra is a group of hugely talented musicians who really know how to put on a show. They are high energy, fast tempo and incredibly entertaining. Just ask anyone who has experienced their shows at the likes of Celtic Connections or Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival for example.’
Kris added, “Stay tuned to Strathpeffer Pavilion’s social networks as we’ll be announcing more high quality acts appearing at the venue in 2014, joining Treacherous Orchestra and pop rockers Toploader, who were announced last week.”
Hot melodies, chunky grooves, a mighty wall of acoustic driven sound that’ll leave your chest bone throbbing, this band has the sonic ammunition to finish off any festival. Don’t miss their performance at Strathpeffer Pavilion in on Friday, April 25th 2014.
