All aboard for special Skerryvore live stream

Multi-award-winning band Skerryvore have announced a special live stream show to be broadcast from Edinburgh’s exclusive floating hotel Fingal on Saturday April 24.

Skerryvore Onboard will see the eight-piece act come to viewers around the world from the luxurious ballroom of the former Northern Lighthouse Board ship, now docked in the historic Port of Leith, with a night of entertainment that is sure to float fans’ boat.

The band will be performing much-loved songs from their extensive back catalogue, including their latest single, You and I.

Skerryvore Onboard will be the band’s third live stream in the last 12 months as they find new ways to come to fans while touring is on hold. This latest show will take place in a truly unforgettable setting which, like the band, has strong connections to the west coast.

As part of the evening’s entertainment, the band will take viewers on a tour of Fingal’s sister yacht, The Royal Yacht Britannia, and audiences will also be able to enjoy interviews with the band live from Fingal’s Skerryvore Suite – the most lavish cabin on board – and have the chance to win an overnight stay in the cabin.

The concert will be available to watch live, with fans able to comment as the show is happening to share messages and shout outs to friends and family also watching from the comfort of their home.

With no fixed cost per view, fans are invited to ‘pay what you want’ for a ticket and they will also have access to exclusive merchandise and content.

Daniel Gillespie, Skerryvore founding member and managing director, said: 'The last year hasn’t exactly been plain sailing and we continue to miss touring, but we’re really looking forward to treating everyone to a truly unique live stream from the Skerryvore Suite of Fingal. The ship makes for a spectacular venue and we feel incredibly honoured to be able to play to fans around the world from this special place.'
