They were the first traditional band to add the iconic bagpipes to their repertoire. They have won awards such as the Scotstar award for the Best Folk Record of the Year, the Indie Awards for Celtic album of the Year; and were nominated for Folk Band of the Year in 2019 at the MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards. the Tannahills have also appeared at the cream of the crop Celtic festivals around the world, such as the Lorient Interceltique Festival in France; Celtic Connections in Scotland; Dublin OH Irish Fest in the US; The Cambridge Folk Festival in England; the Winnipeg Folk Festival in Canada; and the Tonder Festival in Denmark.
Even with all that going for them, they are still also lauded by folks such as Garrison Keillor Of Prairie Home Companion Fame – “these guys are heroes every time they come here!"
