Hi all,
We’re delighted beyond measure to announce that Clanadonia and some pals have written and recorded a brand spanking new ditty to celebrate and encourage the Scotland Woman’s football team as they prepare to take on Argentina, Japan and England in the World Cup starting in June.
You can download the track for a measly £1 via their Bandcamp page here.
Enjoy the track and all the best to the team!!
The boys are no stranger to rubbing shoulders with movie royalty having wowed Chris Pine and co at the Outlaw King bash back in November and on Monday night they were honoured to have been asked back to Edinburgh Castle to perform for 1st Minister Nicola Sturgeon and some of the cast of new movie, Mary Queen of Scots which premiered at the Cameo this week.
Saoirse Ronan who plays the doomed Mary Stuart, was a real trouper, helping out on mini-maracas alongside Tu-Bardh, Nic and the rest of the gang. Interesting if you think about it, the story of an intelligent, principled Scots lass being persecuted by a London based ruler. Can’t think what modern scenario that reminds me of… Little bit of politics there. Anyway, enjoy the video.
Due to overwhelming demand, (we know it’s a cliche, but it’s true) we’ve made the second album, Keepin’ It Tribal 2 available to download from Bandcamp.
Go here to claim it, only a tenner!
Slainte.
Clanadonia are chuffed to bits with the huge response our video had on The World Got Talent’s Facebook page. Posted on the 4th September, it has already clocked up over 11 million video views! View the video an post here…
Clanadonia are delighted to have teamed up with our friends at Edradour Distillery to produce a special edition Whisky: Ballechin Clanadonia Series #1 “Tu-Bardh”…[button size=”large” link=”http://edradour.com/shop/index.php?route=product/product&path=67_68&product_id=105″ title=”Buy the Whisky Here” target=”self” css_style=””]
Ballechin is the heavily peated distillation they have been making at Edradour Distillery since 2003. Distilled using barley which has been infused with peat to a level not less than 50ppm.
Clanadonia and Edradour Distillery have a lot in common, not least their commitment to honouring tradition. This first bottling in the Clanadonia Series celebrates Tu-Bardh.
Tu-Bardh Wilson, founder of the band, typifies the band’s earthy passion, respect for culture and tradition. These values and the band’s ancestral bloodlines are all bonded within their music, which has Scotland at its heart.
The tribalising continues…
Slainte Tu-Bardh
It’s been an incredible year for Clanadonia so far and it keeps getting better. Clanadonia are delighted to feature their music in Sony’s American TV drama “Outlander”. Since launching last weekend it has become a huge hit with it’s launch becoming the most watched debuts for a cable series in history!
The series is set to feature music from the band’s album “keep it tribal” which is available for sale on our website. If you get to watch the show, be sure to keep an ear out for Clanadonia’s tribal backdrop
Here’s the trailer for the tv series below…
Recent article in the Sun Newspaper about the band…
After performing at the opening ceremony of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games, the guys were delighted to be asked back to entertain the athletes as they arrived the Commonwealth Village. Needless to say they were very well received and turned out to be an alternative (and some might say rather loud) warmup session for the athletic teams!
Check some out some of the photos from the day here
Clanadonia were thrilled to be asked to welcome athletes, and the rest of the world, to the Commonwealth Games last night. The performance went down a storm with the 40,000 strong crowd at Celtic Park with the band receiving a humbling standing ovation following their performance.
We’re proud to have been part of such a momentous occasion and proud that it all happened in our home city of Glasgow!
Wishing all the athletes all the very best of luck over the coming 10 days.
As I’m sure a fair few of you will know, the 18th annual MOBO awards will be taking place in Glasgow on at the newly minted SSE Hydro this Saturday.
The Music Of Black Origin (MOBO) Awards was established in 1996 by Kanya King and Andy Ruffell to recognise and celebrate artists who create ‘black’ or ‘urban’ music. In its 18 years, it has only been held outside on London in 2009, 2011 and now this year, all of these ceremonies have been held in Glasgow. You are most welcome nice people.
We had an interesting day last week with photographer David Anderson and today we’re delighted to see the pics hot from the press. Check out our latest collection of band photos taken in Edinburgh’s Arthur’s Seat.
