Shooglenifty started playing tunes together many years ago in an Edinburgh venue called La Belle Angelle. The session grew more and more popular and soon afterwards the name Shooglenifty was thought up for the first gig in Belgium.

Please check with the venues for appearance times for all shows on our gig list.

Also check out our bit of Shoogle video!! (click on "videos":).
