Join us for The Whisky Sessions! Join us for an interactive session hosted by Skerryvore that takes the audience on a journey to Scotland’s famous whisky regions and distilleries with music as the vehicle. Audience members will get to sample 4 or 5 specially selected malt whiskies with each ‘dram’ having a piece of music selected and performed to match that whisky during the tasting. The band will reflect on personal experiences and stories linked to each particular whisky or region that enhances the intimate nature of this session. We'll host The Whisky Sessions at the amazingly beautiful, incredibly comfortable, and acoustically astounding Hale Senior Center Ballroom. No need to worry about the weather or parking. It's going to be a FAN-tas-tic night of music, dance and song.

4 carefully chosen whiskies ... introducing Ardnahoe Scotch Whisky.
A light catered dinner and cash bar.

At the forefront of a movement that has reinvented and reignited a traditional Scottish scene for a modern, multicultural audience, the band have brought their high energy performances to audiences across the globe.
