TRIP is a Glasgow-based six-piece whose music unites the kindred Celtic traditions of Scotland, Ireland, Northumbria and the Isle of Man — a reflection of where each band member hails from.

Their powerful, driven, and distinctive sound is underpinned by a versatile top-line featuring Accordion, Fiddle, and Flute/Whistle, and a dynamic rhythm section of Piano, Guitar, and Bodhran. Their arrangements feature a blend of traditional melodies and self-penned tunes and songs, celebrating the band’s roots in traditional music while showcasing their contemporary, cross-genre influences.

TRIP’s impressive line-up features Newcastle accordionist Michael Biggins (BBC Young Traditional Musician of the year 2021), Sligo flautist Tiernan Courell (All-Ireland champion) and Manx fiddler Isla Callister with fellow Scots Alasdair MacKenzie (Guitar, Vocals), Rory Matheson (Piano) and Craig Baxter (Bodhran).

For this special Celtic Connections concert TRIP is expanding their line-up to include drums and bass, as well as joining forces with a three-piece horn section. Join TRIP Big Band for what promises to be an unforgettable night in this iconic Glasgow venue!
