Norrie “Tago” MacIver is the lead singer of Skipinnish, one of Scotland’s most popular and dynamic folk bands. Known for his powerful voice, melodic flair, and deep roots in Gaelic tradition, Norrie has brought his signature style to sold-out venues across the UK, including the Barrowlands and Usher Hall. Since joining Skipinnish in 2016, he has released two critically acclaimed albums with the band: The Seventh Wave and Steer by the Stars.
Before Skipinnish, Norrie was the lead singer of Mànran, a band that made a striking debut with their single Latha Math, written by Norrie himself. The single sold over 5,000 copies in its first week on iTunes, and in December 2011, Norrie was voted Gaelic Singer of the Year at the MG ALBA Scots Trad Music Awards, where Mànran also won Album of the Year. With the band, Norrie toured widely across the UK, Europe, and North America, earning a reputation for his engaging performances and distinctive voice.
Originally from Carloway on the Isle of Lewis and now based in Fife, Norrie is a graduate of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. Over the course of his career, he has toured extensively across North America, Europe, Australia, and South Korea, earning a reputation as one of Gaelic music’s most versatile and accomplished voices.
“The Gaelic cross-over voice of his generation. Norrie is a singer of range, clarity and melody, effortlessly blending tradition with modern rhythm.” – Calum MacDonald, Runrig
