Additional Performers and Festival Insights
HebCelt artist programmer Michelle Shields said: "We're overjoyed to have The Mary Wallopers making their HebCelt debut this year and completing our amazing trio of headliners along with The Saw Doctors and Mànran.
"It's an unashamedly upbeat line-up of high-tempo, Celtic roots and trad with a huge Irish infusion too, a dash of French, hint of Canadian and an extensive line-up from Lewis too.
"We've got some wonderful songwriters joining us, a whole host of absolutely beautiful vocalists, and we will be showcasing a range of pioneering, adventurous and emerging artists too - so there really is something for everyone."
The Hebridean Celtic Festival began nearly 30 years ago. Last year's headliners included Scottish pop icon Lulu.
