Standard Theatre Seated
One of the most exciting bands on the Scottish folk scene” (★★★★★ Songlines). RURA return to Brewery Arts to celebrate their 15th anniversary. A multi-award-winning act, the quartet’s compellingly fiery, rugged yet refined and progressive instrumentals on fiddle, Highland pipes, flute, guitar, keyboards and bodhran has placed them firmly at the forefront of 21st-century Scottish folk. Having toured across Europe, Canada, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, the band are widely recognised as one of Scotland’s most popular contemporary folk bands.
Renowned for cinematic arrangements that draw upon Scotland’s rich landscape and a profound sense of both community and place, RURA’s progressive, emotive and powerful sound is inspired by a deep sense of reflection and hope. With new music on the horizon, they build upon their critically acclaimed fourth studio album, Dusk Moon (2023). This followed a collaborative EP release with luminaries including Michael McGoldrick, Julie Fowlis and Duncan Chisholm.
With millions of TV viewers and a global fanbase, RURA are one of Scotland’s most powerful live acts. Featuring on BBC1’s Hogmanay Live, which was broadcast worldwide from Glasgow’s iconic Old Fruitmarket, where they later recorded their acclaimed live album in 2020. Since then, performing on stages including the OVO Hydro Arena, their impact on Scotland’s folk scene is undeniable.
Jack Smedley, Steven Blake, David Foley, and Adam Brown have captivated crowds across more than 20 countries. Lighting up major folk festivals including Cambridge, Tønder, Woodford, WOMAD, Winnipeg, Edmonton, and HebCelt, and numerous electrifying sets at Glasgow’s Celtic Connections, including a sold-out show at the legendary Barrowland Ballroom.
