Mànran is a Scottish band that was established in June 2010.[1] The band plays a mixture of styles incorporating Gaelic traditions, Scottish folk music and Rock.
The members of Mànran are Norrie MacIver (guitar/vocals), Gary Innes (accordion), Ewen Henderson(fiddle/pipes), Calum Stewart (flutes/uilleann pipes), Ross Saunders (bass) and Scott Mackay (drums).
They participated in the Hebridean Celtic Festival 2010[2] and made an appearance on BBC Alba during the Ceilidh na Bliadhn' Uire 2010 (Hogmanay Ceilidh 2010) programme.[3]
On the 17th of January the band released their first single "Latha Math"[4] and were aiming to be the first Gaelic song in the Top 40 for the 21st Century.[5] While the band reached 32 mid-week, they slipped out of the top 40 to Number 61 for the official chart on Sunday the 23rd January 2011.[6] However, they did secure Number 6 in both the UK Indie Chart and the Scottish Singles Chart.
