Heron Valley Biography
Heron Valley are an energy fuelled, traditional band from Scotland. Their roots lie in Scottish
and Irish traditional music, including traditional Scots song, Scottish piping tunes and Irish
banjo. The six-piece group comprises Abigail Pryde on Fiddle and Vocals, Keith Morrison on
Keys, Nick Hamilton on Banjo and Guitar, Alastair Maclean on Bagpipes and Whistles,
Callum Cronin on Bass and Guitar and Darren Brown on Drums.
Their inception as a folk band began in 2014, after spending the first few years of their
musical careers perfecting their craft as a young ceilidh dance band. In 2018 they formed
the line up you now know, when they embarked on their first tour of the USA.
Coming from vastly different areas of Scotland (Oban, Lewis, Cowal, Glasgow, Campbeltown
and Stirling ) you are sure to hear an excellent story or two from Heron Valley, and maybe
even some Scots language lessons! In 2015 the band released their first single and music
video, a set of tunes, ‘Pressed for Time’. The storyline takes the band from performing out
on a moving boat on the beautiful Loch Fyne in Argyll, to their journey to and performance
at a gig in a local dance hall. This was extremely well received and racked up 85K views,
with people all over the world purchasing the single.
A year later, they released their second single and video ‘Home’. This time, they set off at
3AM to climb up Beinn an Lochainn, a hill in the west coast of Scotland residing beside the
Rest and Be Thankful, a stunning area with many a story itself. The video sees this journey
from bottom to top and shows them playing on cliff edges in the beautiful area where
Abigail grew up. From this, the band set off to the USA and EU and continued to release
more music including their debut album ‘Roam’, single ‘Take You There’, single ‘Springburn,
just shy of Ireland’, and EP ‘Erie Storm’.
