One of Scotland’s most popular folk-based bands, multi award-winning RURA return to Kings Place as part of their new album release tour.

With three heralded albums – most recently, 2018’s lauded In Praise of Home, inspired by themes of belonging, heritage, a sense of place and extensive international touring – RURA are one of Scotland’s most powerful groups. Their compellingly fiery, rugged yet refined and progressive instrumentals on the fiddle, Highland pipes, flute, guitar, keyboards and bodhran has placed them firmly at the forefront of 21st century Scottish folk.

In their near-decade together, Jack Smedley, Steven Blake, David Foley and Adam Brown’s entrancing, euphoric live shows have been a main stage highlight of many of the world’s leading folk festivals, whilst television audiences have been in their millions, including BBC1’s Hogmanay Live, broadcast live to the world over New Year 2016/2017 from Glasgow’s iconic Old Fruitmarket.

This performance will last approximately 2 hours including an interval.
