RUNRIG were probably the best Celtic Rock band ever…the Scottish band was formed on the Isle of Skye in 1973 and their genre was folk rock. In 1998 they recruited Canadian singer Bruce Guthro as lead singer and he remained with them until the band retired in 2018. Bruce, who was from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia sadly died at his home in Halifax last year aged 62.
Here the band perform at their farewell concert at Stirling Castle in 2018 with Bruce on vocals - Book of Golden Stories…

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I wish I had known about this band, and this lovely man Bruce Guthro. I found this article which has a link with him talking about his illness and a new song they had just finished.
Loved this post Marje.

Thanks. I loved this but it felt sad. Were they really saying goodbye?
