Louis Abbott, of Admiral Fallow, said: “We’re delighted to have been asked to play HebCelt this year.

A total of 25 acts have now been confirmed for this year’s music festival, which takes place over four days in July in venues across Lewis and Harris.
Other names on the line-up include Niteworks, an electronic Celtic folk act originally from Skye; singer songwriter Frank Yamma, a finalist in the National Indigenous Music Awards in his home of Australia; the Heidi Talbot Trio; Scottish/Irish piping duo Ross Ainslie and Jarlath Henderson; Edinburgh singer songwriter Adam Holmes and the Embers and award-winning Gaelic singer Isobel Ann Martin.
Festival director Caroline MacLennan said: “We are thrilled Admiral Fallow will be at this year’s festival. They are building up a formidable reputation and I am sure they will be a massive hit with our audience.
“The line-up we have confirmed so far is exceptionally strong, covering a wide range of musical styles and tastes. With still more acts to be confirmed we are greatly increasing the choice and value for money for our festival goers.”
