   About The Raggaels

Free MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider
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.

I'm absolutely gutted I missed you guys at Catrine, I had other things on but hopefully you'll be back at Ayr sometime?? You guys should have been playing the Cumnock Music Festival next week!! Anyway, i've quit the band for now as I have other stuff on so i'll get to hear you guys next time you're local to me! I just seen Whitesnake and Def Leppard perform on Tuesday at Glasgow SECC, what a trip!! 24 hour bar too :-) Take care and have a great weekend x
