Check Out Scotland’s Mànran’s Easter Weekend Online Concert

Scottish Supergroup Manran mark what should have been their own festival weekend with an online concert.

Manran will be going live worldwide again on Saturday 3rd April from 7pm BST. This is Easter Saturday and a night where the band were looking forward to welcoming 2,000 fans to Fort William in the Highlands of Scotland for their own festival again, but not even third time lucky has managed to get them under that marquee this Easter weekend. 

So, instead, sit back and join them from the comfort of your own living room, with a large house measure of course.
