Inverness venue The Ironworks shows its commitment to bringing home-grown Scottish music in all its genres to the Highlands by announcing 4 shows with top Scottish acts between February and March that range between Rock, Salsa and Traditional music.

On February 9th Highland act Wolfstone who are seen as the shining jewel in the crown that is Highland Music launch their new album in their home city of Inverness.

From its birth in 1989 Wolfstone has followed its very own Highland roots and delivered the passion that is contained within them onto the international stage. On one long roller coaster ride they have taken themselves from the village halls of Scotland through to headlining major festivals across Europe, Canada and from the West to the East Coasts of America, playing to audiences in excess of 60,000.  http://www.wolfstone.co.uk/

Scottish Rockers Nazareth come to the venue on Feb. 23rd seen as Trailblazers for 1980s Scottish acts like Big Country, Wet Wet Wet, Del Amitri, Deacon Blue, and Texas? and widely thought of as heroes and the inspiration for Guns N' Roses.

The ever popular act know for hits such as "Love Hurts" and "Witchdoctor Woman" have a solid fanbase built up around the world and recently toured the USA, Russia, Israel and Europe. http://www.nazarethdirect.co.uk/

Salsa Celtic will perform on March 4th they have been described as "Salsa Celtica need little introduction these days - they have long left behind any perceived novelty dimension to their signature blend of big-band Latin dance music with Scottish accents. They have earned admiration among the cognoscenti for their balance between authenticity and originality. And they're recognised by audiences of folk, jazz and world music alike as one of Scotland's top party bands." - Sue Wilson  http://www.salsaceltica.com/

Born and raised in Falkirk, Scotland, Malcolm Middleton found fame as the member of Arab Strap commonly credited with ‘most things musical’ comes to The Ironworks on March 26th. While Arab Strap are known for their uncomfortably intimate lyrics, Middleton’s solo career, which ran in tandem with the band until they split in 2006, has provided an outlet for Middleton’s more personal and, at times, more harrowing songs.

As Arab Strap drew to an amicable close with the bookend compilation Ten Years Of Tears, Malcolm worked on his next defining statement, A Brighter Beat, due for release in February 2007 on his new label Full Time Hobby. Recorded once more with various Glaswegian luminaries, it’s Malcolm’s most bombastic record to date, bursting with strings, big productions and an infectious, beaty number called We’re All Going To Die. http://www.malcommiddleton.co.uk

A spokesman for The Ironworks said "We are very proud to have some of Scotland's top acts come to our venue, we are committed to home-grown music bred in Scotland be made accessible to the Highland public and doing shows with these four acts who are all respected in their different genres show our commitment."
