Eden Court is delighted to bring one of Scotland's most incredible live acts, The Unusual Suspects, to Wick for a concert at the Assembly Rooms.
The Unusual Suspects are a 22 piece "Folk Big Band" famed for their exciting performances:
"It's big, bold, brassy, and adventurous... Is this the best live folk orchestra Scotland ever saw?" -- The Living Tradition
"What a total, massive, glorious blast." -- The Scotsman
"A beautiful noise. A jigging, reeling juggernaut." -- The Herald
This extraordinary band is a real treat for fans of traditional music, featuring 22 players from virtually every major Scottish group including Blazin' Fiddles, Salsa Celtica and The Poozies. Their remarkable line boasts David Milligan, Colin Steele, Fraser Fifield, Aidan O'Rourke, Catriona McDonald Eilidh Shaw and many more.
Combining centuries old works alongside contemporary pieces with superb original music, their concerts are a joyous celebration of Scottish music. Their appearance at Wick will be their only mainland Highland performance during their latest tour.
We hope you can join us for this very special concert.
