  • Malcolm Home After Operation Success

    We are delighted to let you know that Malcolm has now left hospital following successful heart by-pass surgery.

    Malcolm underwent routine preventative surgery last week after suffering heart problems earlier this year. His surgery forced the band to cancel our May Danish tour, which has been rescheduled, with additional dates, for December of this year.

    Malcolm will now spend July recuperating and resting at home before rejoining us in early August for rehearsals for appearances at the 35th anniversary Tonder Festival in Denmark and Scone Palace, Perth on Saturday, 29 August.

    Everyone is delighted to see Malcolm out of hospital and we are all looking forward to him rejoining us to put on a show to remember at Scone Palace.

  • Denmark / Malcolm Update

    Following yesterdays shock announcement we felt it important, now that the urgent and unavoidable business practicalities are being dealt with, to explain the circumstances surrounding the decision.

    Malcolm attended his specialist for a routine review on Tuesday of this week. There was concern over some results of tests and he attended again on Wednesday at which time, despite his own protestations, he was strongly urged not to go ahead with the Danish shows and to be admitted for immediate surgery on Monday of this coming week.

    With this medical opinion we had absolutely no choice but to accept and act upon these crucial decisions: a massive disappointment, as the Danish open-air shows were eagerly anticipated by us all, not least by Malcolm. We are totally aware of the difficulties and sense of frustration that many will feel and we can assure you that it is a sense shared throughout the Runrig camp – we hate the thought of letting people down, particularly our loyal fans with all the varied plans, arrangements and financial outlay that surround attending these types of events. But we realise, of course, that you all understand.

    We will work very hard now to look at what alternative opportunities might be available to play later in the year. However, it is too early to give any indications as to what may be achievable. For now our thoughts are with Malcolm but we will be back soon and will repay your loyalty with live shows at the earliest possible opportunity.

    The songs mean different things to different people. Personally, I think the lyrics certainly add to the songs, but they wouldn't stand up by themselves as poems. It's a cocktail of decent lyrics, piercing guitar, booming drums and shredding guitar that give Runrig their uniqueness.
