After helping Jersey Arts Centre to celebrate their 35th birthday in sensational style last year, The Outside Track are back by popular demand!
The Outside Track’s marriage of Celtic music, song and dance has been rapturously received around the world. Hailing from Scotland, Ireland, and Cape Breton, its five members are united by a love of traditional music and a commitment to creating new music on this as a foundation.
Comprising Mairi Rankin, Teresa Horgan, Ailie Robertson, Fiona Black and Michael Ferrie, The Outside Track blend fiddle, accordion, harp, guitar, whistle, step-dance and vocals with breathtaking vitality. Their blend of boundless energy and unmistakable joie de vivre has won them a large following around the globe.
Their newly released studio album, Rise Up, features songs and tunes all by or about women, including 11 female composers, in an attempt to promote gender equality in the folk scene, celebrate female talent and act as strong role models for young women.
Winner of Best Group in both the Live Ireland awards and the Tradition In Review awards, The Outside Track are one of the top Celtic acts in the world. They were ‘Best Live Act’ nominees in the MG Alba Scots Traditional Music Awards, and won the German Radio Critics Prize, for their album Flash Company. Live Ireland called them, ‘among the top bands in the world – stunning on every cut!’ - don't miss them at Jersey Arts Centre on 26 January!
