Award Winning Scots Band Bringing the Roof Down from London and Bath to Inverness


Rolling Stone faves Elephant Sessions hit the tour trail, 8-22 Nov

"Absolutely superb…" - Chris Hawkins (BBC Radio 6)

"These Scots are using their instruments like weapons to destroy cliches. We love them!" - Rolling Stone Magazine

Winners of the MG Alba Scots Trad Awards 'Up and Coming Act of the Year 2014, and nominated as Live Act of the Year in 2016, the fiery Highland five-piece Elephant Sessions is a musical power house, welding weapons grade grooves and guitar attack with quicksilver fiddle/mandolin melodies.

The group fuses rich folk and trad influences with funk, rock and electronica in an instantly captivating, progressive, visceral blend.

"Outstanding levels of innovation and inventiveness" – Folkwords

In just a few short years Elephant Sessions have already become renowned for breathtaking live shows throughout the UK and Europe, taking the festival scene well and truly by storm with appearances at Glastonbury, Denmark’s Tønder and a sold out headline show at Celtic Connections 2017.

The band’s critically acclaimed debut album, The Elusive Highland Beauty, amassed wide radio play across BBC Radio 2 and BBC Radio 6, whilst their follow-up, the eagerly awaited All We Have Is Now – released in May 2017 has been greeted with rave reviews, as critics reach for superlatives! 

They followed this up with a triumphant appearance at Europe’s largest folk gathering (which pulls crowds of 750,000) - Brittany’s Festival Interceltique de Lorient – in August, where they allegedly not only brought the roof down, but incited such heights of euphoria that their audience ultimately broke the sprung wooden dancefloor.

Elephant Sessions are on tour throughout the UK in November, from Inverness to Bath, from Bury to Skye, and including an appearance at London’s Folk and Roots Festival. (The first Inverness gig has already sold out, and a second has just been added).
