Skye's Niteworks to disband in 2024 after 17 years

Scottish folk/electronica band Niteworks have announced they will play their last gigs as a band next year.

Niteworks was formed in Skye by school friends Allan MacDonald, Christopher Nicolson, Innes Strachan and Ruairidh Graham in 2007.

The band's music has been played during Edinburgh's Hogmanay fireworks display and they have performed at the Belladrum music festival and gigs across the UK and Europe.

In a statement, the band members said they could never have imagined in their "wildest dreams" where their music would take them.

The band was formed by four teenage friends in 2007

They said: "We’ve had an absolute blast.

"However, this has never been a full-time venture for us, and we’ve now reached a point in our lives where we have a few more responsibilities than when we started."

The band, which has a huge following in Scotland's traditional music scene, and has worked with other artists including Ellen Macdonald, Julie Fowlis, Kathleen MacInnes and Donald Macdonald.

Thanking their fans for their support, Niteworks said: "We’ll be doing a small run of select shows in 2024 and we would love to see as many of you at them as possible, for one more dance."
