Capercaillie

It’s as long ago as 2001 that Capercaillie last graced the Cambridge stages as a band. Numerous of their members have been here solo and as part of other bands, remembering the old Scots rule about never being in only one band, but this year sees them re-assembled as the supergroup and ready to go.
When a band has been synonymous with quality as long as Capercaillie have, it’s easy to lose track of how long the band have been around. The Capers have over 20 years under their belts, it over 15 years since “Delirium” launched them into the wider unsuspecting world to success and sales that most folk stars can only dream.
They’ve also been innovators, Capercaillie were one of the first to combine traditional Celtic music with dance influences, a process that other Scots and Scottish bands have continued to refine until today.
You can go to the bank on the fact that this will be one of the sets of the festival. You expect greatness from Capercaillie, they work hard to deliver it

Post Festival Notes
Capercaillie are a fantastic band. I have never known them to deliver anything other than a really good time. They are one of the few bands at the festival capable of dominating Stage One on a Sunday afternoon, with an audience who thought it was too lathargic to dance.
