Career[edit]
2011: Breakthrough[edit]
On 17 January 2011 the band released their first single "Latha Math" and were aiming to be the first Gaelic song in the 21st century to make the Top 40.[5] While the band reached 29 mid-week, they slipped out of the top 40 to Number 61 for the official chart on Sunday 23 January 2011.[6] However, they did secure Number 6 in both the UK Indie Chart and the Scottish Singles Chart.[7][8] In August 2012 they released "Take You There (Mànran & Michelle McManus song)|Take You There" with Michelle McManus to raise money for the STV Appeal 2012. Mànran and Michelle McManus performed the song live on 7 September 2012 on the STV Appeal show.[9]
