Gary Innes is a Scottish musician, composer and broadcaster hailing from Spean Bridge in Lochaber.

He is a founding member of folk-rock band Manran and will be hosting Speyfest’s Family Sunday at this year’s festival.

Gary also has gigs coming up with Manaran in Wick on May 5 and Kirkwall on May 6.
