Event Details

Dunedin Live: Haggis Winter MusicFest 2022 is a weekend long celebration of Celtic music centered in Downtown Dunedin featuring concerts, piping, dance, whisky tastings and more.

Dunedin Live celebrates the Scottish American Society of Dunedin, Scottish poet Robert Burns, the arrival of the Celtic spring Imbolc and the beautiful, sun-soaked community of Dunedin, Florida. Dates: Thursday, January 20 - Saturday, January 22, 2022

After a pandemic induced hiatus in 2021, plans are underway for a stripped down version of the Celtic music festival in January 2022 designed to showcase the return of Scottish band Skerryvore to Dunedin’s Scottish Cultural Center (917 Louden Avenue).

This weekend of Celtic music, dance and Scotch whisky will be hosted by The Scottish American Society of Dunedin and produced by Mad Gael Productions. It will feature two Haggis Celtic Concerts and a whisky tasting tour of Scotland set to music.

By using mainly indoor spaces, they have developed a festival plan that takes advantage of the beautiful Florida weather but is not dependent on it.

Skerryvore began as a Ceilidh band on the Hebridean island of Tiree, Scotland and has evolved into a unique fusion of folk, trad, rock and pop. Brothers Daniel (accordian) and Martin (pipes) Gillespie grew up on Tiree and added friends Fraser West (drums) and Alec Dalglish (guitar) to form a new band.

Then came Craig Espie (fiddle), Jodie Bremanson (Bass), Alan Scobie (keyboards) and Scott Wood (pipes & whistles) to form the greatest Scottish traditional music group in the world today.

Their musicianship and the mesmerizing voice of singer Alec Dalglish, has made Skerryvore an international sensation, performing in cities such as Beijing, M
