Rising from the ashes of legendary Glasgow group "The Raggle Taggle Gypsies" in 1997, now at fighting weight and more focused, the Raggaels set about the Live circuit in Scotland.
Since our debut, We have become one of Scotlands most exciting live acts, whipping up audiences to ramming speed wih pounding bass & drums, crunching guitar, anthemic fiddle and from the heart vocals.
We continue to make new friends the length and breadth of Scotland, for instance, notching up ten successive appearances at the Mull International Music Festival and performing several times from George's Square in Glasgow - New Years Eve resulting in many thousands of happy and rocked out revellers.
Come and join the Raggael Army.
