SAOR ANAM 2026 LINEUP
BRANNOS
Brannos (wich means Raven in ancient celtic language of the continental gauls) is a musical project where the lyre speaks ancient melodies and ancient stories, rooted in celtic traditions. With new sound and old memories, and an upcoming album under Astral Sinergy Production, this acoustic show will take you beyond the mist of the celtic people.
Midnight Wild
Midnight Wild is an alt-folk duo, known for their "wonderful musicianship, great songwriting and gorgeous harmonies". Comprising Douglas and Sarah, Midnight Wild crafts music that resonates with deep emotion, rich storytelling, and a warm, organic sound.
Midnight Wild had a brilliant 2025, kicking it off with the Danny Kyle stage at Celtic Connections (which they returned to this year), followed by shows with King Tuts, Sofar Sounds, and folk clubs across Scotland. In the summer they put on their own sold-out show in the beautiful forests of Comrie Croft, and were invited to play at Fresh Ayr Folk Festival.
They have now released their debut EP, “One More Thing” which has received airplay on Heartland FM, Camglen Radio, Stirling Community Radio and Celtic Radio. Graeme Taite of Americana UK noted its “exquisite harmonies”, calling it “hauntingly atmospheric”.
Chad’s music draws from a wide range of acoustic traditions, grounded in guitar and banjo and shaped through carefully crafted alternate tunings. His sound blends haunting dissonance with subtle touches of jazz and the foot-tapping pull of bluegrass, creating songs that feel both familiar and slightly unsettled.
His 2024 release, Yester-days-Future, leans further into atmosphere and restraint, pairing understated performances with lyrics shaped by philosophical reflection and everyday moments. The songs favour mood over resolution, allowing space for texture, tension, and quiet detail. With tasteful, deliberate playing at the core, Chad’s music offers an intimate and immersive listening experience.

Chile Song Show review
Maria Adriana Contreras is a Chilean, UK-based artist who weaves the heart of Chile into every performance. As the daughter of a disappeared political figure, she transformed her story into soulful song, finding healing in South American folk music and inspiring others to do the same. Her voice transmits tenderness, resilience, and a powerful reminder that music connects us all — and that you are never alone, no matter what you're going through. ❤️
Her performances are often described as deeply moving, unifying and more than just music, they are shared moments of healing, connection, conversation and belonging that stay with you long after the final note.
