Some folks may have heard, rightly, that Triskel’s next announcement was to be Kenny Anderson’s
KING CREOSOTE.
No stranger to playing the Island, having supported SQUEEZE, when Triskel first brought them over to play the Royal Hall in 2007. Kenny Anderson is an extraordinary multi-instrumentalist with a searing voice and ethereal soundscapes that create the most amazing intimate settings. Peel Cathedral was the planned show Sat 21 June 2025. However, Kenny has just come off an exhaustive winter tour and has had the need to take stock. A slew of dates next summer have been shelved for the foreseeable future due to personal, health and family reasons. This is more important than anything, so Triskel are happy to put this show on the back burner, with the hope we can get Kenny back to entertain us another time. Tickets were due to go on sale on Monday 9th December but will now be mothballed until such times as we have KC back at full strength.
Meanwhile, we are a mere month away from the big event, no, not THAT event, the TWO SOLD OUT shows with Gerry McAvoy’s Band of Friends featuring Davy Knowles’ ONLY Island shows in 2025.
The 2 dates sold out in 8 hours unsurprisingly. Rory Gallagher’s legacy is defining in rock music. There are no more authentic replications of these shows than by original band members Gerry McAvoy and his blistering bass playing held together by bandmate Brendan O’ Neill. The fact that Rory has always been a guitar hero for Davy, makes it all the more special to hear these songs again. Back Door Slam did them justice back in the early years but to be in the band Rory PLAYED will make for a special evening.
Triskel are working on other shows as we speak, so we hope to secure some more special occasions for your music lovers.
Thanks for your support and I hope, understanding of this current predicament.
HIGH FADE, a three-man crusade to set dance floors alight with their inimitable brand of razor-sharp funk and disco, High Fade can already count Jack Black, Cypress Hill, Deep Purple’s Glenn Hughes, and Brad Wilk from Rage Against The Machine as fans. Honing their sound on the streets of their native Edinburgh, the band are at their best when up close and personal with audiences; with over a thousand gigs now under their belt, their refined, infectious live performance has become an integral part of the band’s DNA, allowing them to put on a show that supersedes anything their fans have experienced before.
A huge US tour beckons in early 2025 and already, almost every show booked between now and May 2025 has sold out or had dates added.
Be sure to check them out at www.highfademusic.com and catch their explosive shows on Youtube to get a taste of what is expected.
Great local support comes from well known funksters themselves, DUSTY PLANKTON who will provide the perfect backdrop to a legendary show at the town hall.
HIGH FADE’s album hits shelves 20th November titled “Life’s Too Fast”.
This band are the tightest young musicians playing today. They now have over 360k followers on Instagram alone.
Undoubtedly the hottest ticket in town before the end of this year.
Full concert production comes from the ELS team who Triskel work with often.Tickets only available online and go on sale at Midday Thu 21st Nov.
Triskel will be announcing ANOTHER act for 2025 shortly.
much for the retirement lark!
I am over-excited to want to announce the next show in 2025!
On the back of that, I am in discussion with at least 4 other potential shows at various venues across the Island. I genuinely don’t recall being this busy with Agents. Exciting times.
So, first things first. We have the final batch of tickets for Tom McRae’s spell-binding inaugural public show at the stunningly refurbished Peel Cathedral. A real credit and asset to the West. I feel sure this will be a perfect addition to the various styles of venues on our Isle.
Tom is just at the halfway of a staggering 49 date tour with generous reviews from each and every show.
If you are a fan already, you may be able to influence the direction of his set which is forged from fan favourites to some of the lesser well know but equally cherished back catalogue Tom shares.
He insists anyone with a request spelt out on a friendship bracelet will take precedence!
Local support on the night from Suzy Manton and Glenn Watterson of Saint Shy providing the backdrop to a night of serene, surreal abandonment interspersed with the sharpest dark humour you can imagine.
