Runrig

Scottish rock band formed in 1973.

Today we remember our dear colleague, Bruce, who so sadly left this world exactly one year ago.

You are sorely missed by the band and the whole Runrig community.

Thanks to our friends @EdinburghTattoo for including Runrig’s song ‘The Story’ in their 2023 Show. Their version featured pipe melody by @beinnlee.

A reminder that the band has set up an online book of condolences where fans can leave tributes, stories and memories, which will be passed to Bruce's family. That link is: https://t.co/AjeUfqQueX

A statement from the band.

[Runrig @Runrig1973]

There have been some misleading headlines over the weekend about some form of band reunion at the Hoolie In The Hydro event announced last week.

This will not be the case. Instead, Iain will lead a Tribute to Runrig feature within the show, performed by various trad artists.

[Gary Innes @GaryInnes]

Here is ‘The Story’ so far and like a ‘Rocket to the Moon’ we’re off! 🚀 Delighted to launch this year’s line-up for Hoolie in the Hydro @OVOHydro Last year was just incredible and if you fancy making history again, then be sure to join us on Sat 9th Dec https://t.co/OEu2eE9OVz

[Julie Fowlis @juliefowlis]

Woop! Heading to the @OVOHydro on Dec 9th with my pal @Hebridean_Baker to co-present a big night of Scottish music, curated by the mighty @GaryInnes and including a celebration of 50 years of our fave band - @Runrig1973 😍 Tix here:
