Hailing from the ‘wild wild’ Western Isles of Scotland, Trail West are a young band causing a storm on the Scottish music scene.

Formed on the Isle of Tiree in 2008 by founding members Ian Smith (Accordion/ Vocals) and Andrew Findlater (Drums/ Vocals), the band has since added further Hebridean fire power with multi-instrumentalist Seonaidh MacIntyre (Whistles/ Bagpipes/ Tromb/ Vocals) from South Uist and fellow Tirisdeach Alain Campbell (Guitar/ Bagpipes/ Vocals) to create a blistering sound that presents an exciting twist on the traditional ‘west coast’ ceilidh band style.

A Trail West gig is guaranteed great ‘craic’ and this has led to the band building a loyal following throughout Scotland as well as securing performances at key events such as the Cowal Highland Gathering, the Royal National Mod, Tiree Music Festival and Glasgow’s Shindig in the Square.

The band’s highly anticipated debut album ‘One That Got Away’ is due for release in April 2013 and will be accompanied by a UK Summer Tour before the band head for their European debut in Germany in September.
