Until now, the many-headed musical monster known as The Treacherous Orchestra has been a rarely-sighted beast, spotted only in such wild habitats as the Eigg Anniversary Ceilidh, or the final night of Celtic Connections’ Festival Club.

Their main-stage debut here unites a dozen fearsomely talented Scottish instrumentalists many of which have starred in the Peatbog Faeries and Salsa Celtica: pipers Ross Ainslie and Ali Hutton, flautists Kevin O’Neill and Bo Jingham, fiddlers Adam Sutherland and Innes Watson, guitarists Barry Reid and Michael Bryan, accordionist John Somerville, banjo demon Éamonn Coyne, bassist Duncan Lyall and drummer Paul Jennings. You have been warned…

London-based five-piece 6 Day Riot, whose line-up includes ukulele, trumpet, guitar, bass, percussion and vocals, cook up an effervescent, highly individual blend of English and East European folk, bluegrass, klezmer and pop influences.

Over 14s only, under 16s with an adult.

Tickets:  £15
