Double Celebration for The Outside Track
Acclaimed international celtic band, The Outside Track, are celebrating picking up the ‘Group of the Year’ award at both the Live Ireland Music Awards 2012 and the TIR Irish Music Awards.
The band were crowned on January 1 2012 and in fact celebrated a double success as their lead singer, Norah Rendell was also awarded the accolade of ‘Vocalist of the Year’.
The Outside Track have a new album in the pipeline which is due for release later this year, and will embark on an 11-gig national tour in February. Two albums from this multi-national contingent have now stamped them not only as yet another new force in the music, but indeed, as Live Ireland described them, “Among the top groups in the world … traditional, creative, and brilliant on every cut”.
As hugely popular young ambassadors for roots music, The Outside Track’s marriage of Canadian, Scottish and Irish music and song has been rapturously received around the world. Coming from Scotland, Ireland, Cape Breton and Vancouver, its five members are united by a love of traditional music and a commitment to creating new music on this as a foundation. Their blend of boundless energy and unmistakable joie de vivre has won them a large following and they have headlined festivals all over the globe.
Ailie Robertson, the band’s harpist said, “It’s a true honour for us to win these awards, and we feel very humbled to be selected from amongst so many other fabulous musicians — it’s a massive boost for us before we head into the studio to record our third album.”
