A brilliant venue and a huge asset to the city of Inverness. The ground floor is solely dedicaded to trad music with 'real' trad bands every thursday, friday and saturday and sessions fours nights a week, sunday through to wednesday.
Starts 9pm
Sunday night - The Clach (local band) lots scots songs
Monday night - Brian O'headhra from 'Anam' with others www.brianoheadhra.com
Tuesday night - Bob Massie (Anna Massie's dad, young trad musician winner 2003) with other
Wednesday night - Alternates between Sofie Jonsson (from sweden) and Graeme Scott with others
Great atmosphere with plenty of room for lots of musicians and very friendly
We were there on Monday 8 August just to listen but were quite disappointed. Although there were microphones on the musicians in the downstairs bar it was impossible to hear them at all. At one point I stood a foot away to the side of a fiddler trying to listen to what she was playing and I couldn't hear her!
They were crowded in by a hen party, which wasn't helping, but the main problem was the acoustics of the room.
