Fri Aug 31, 7.30pm, Glamis Castle, Glamis, Angus, £17.50, 01250 875712 Scotland's two leading folk-rock bands come together under the Celtic Rock banner in one of the grandest settings ever for a folk gig - glorious Glamis castle - which is also the site of a legendary game of cards between an earl of Scotland and the devil himself.
Wolfstone's upfront mix of Highland culture and heavy rock has been on the back burner for much of 2007, due to personnel changes. But as fiddler and mainstay Duncan Chisholm says, they're coming back strongly now and have 2008 mapped out as a busy year of touring and reasserting their exciting hold on a faithful audience.
Capercaillie have hardly been overexposed on home turf of late, either, but the band have been wowing massive festival audiences in Spain and France in between recording sessions for a new album, which is due out in the autumn.
The band, who famously took Gaelic song onto Top of the Pops with the haunting Coisich a Ruin, will be touring widely around the time of the album's release.
This concert could, though, provide a preview of songs that, according to early reports, remain true to the band's Gaelic roots while projecting an emphatically upbeat, funky sound and big groove.
