Who is Heidrum ?
We're a group of acoustic musicians from Montrose and surrounding areas on the North East coast of Scotland . We met in our local pub, The Black Abbot, and got talking about “the music and the craic” one night. We decided to have a session or two in the pub and the rest is history, we've been jammin' or playing gigs at every opportunity since ....

Why the name Heidrum ?
Because of our mutual love of celtic, folk, traditional, bluegrass & generally what you would call roots music, the locals began talking of us as “them that play all that heidrum hodrum stuff.” So Heidrum sort of stuck ....

What are we all about ?
As mentioned above, we love playing and listening to roots music. Celtic, Folk, Traditional, Bluegrass & anything that lends itself to acoustics. From The Corries and The Pogues to Christy Moore and Hayseed Dixie, as well as some footstompin Scottish and Irish jigs & reels, we have a large and varied repetoir. When playing gigs in pubs, clubs & bars we use a small PA system but try to keep the sound as acoustic, and real, as possible ....

Where do we play ?
We tend to get together for music sessions whenever & wherever we can, from camping trips to festivals, from sessions & gigs in pubs, clubs & bars to barbecues & parties, you’ll find us pickin’ away somewhere. We can often be found playing sessions or gigs in some of the local venues in Montrose and surrounding areas but we also travel much further afield. Some of our most memorable gigs and sessions have been in places like Ullapool, Kingussie, Glencoe & Kenmore. We're up for playing sessions or gigs pretty much anywhere ....

When are we playing next ?
We're available most weekends and evenings throughout the year. Have a look on our Gigs page for availability and contact us to see if we're free on any particular date you may have in mind ....
