In the summer, we released “The Rammy” - our tribute to the Vatersay Boys, a band we have always looked up to and become good friends with over many years playing tunes and dramming! We are incredibly grateful to the Vatersay boys for, not only letting us cover their set, but also for the positive impact they have had on the Hebridean music scene, inspiring and supporting many young musicians over the years.

With that in mind, Trail West are proud to support Cobhair Bharraigh. The charity means a great deal to the Vatersay Boys and helps people across Barra and Vatersay live as independently as possible, providing day care, home support, essential services and support for unpaid carers.

We want to give back to Barra and Vatersay for all that The Vatersay boys have done for us and many other bands & musicians throughout the west coast of Scotland. We have started things off with a £500 donation from Trail West. It would be amazing if we could raise even more for the charity so we have decided to open up the fundraising to the public, if you have anything to spare, please consider donating as it will go a long way towards helping Cobhair Bharraigh support the local community!
