C貌 eile ach Sister Sledge a' th脿inig air ch猫ilidh air Belladrum airson a' chiad uair a-riamh, ged a tha iad gu math e貌lach agus d猫idheil air Alba. Bhon a' th貌isich iad aig toiseach na seachdadan, tha buaidh mh貌r air a bhith aca air saoghal-ci霉il disco.

Fiona MacKenzie and Niall Iain Macdonald present highlights from the 2017 Belladrum Tartan Heart music festival.

Tonight's featured act is a truly sensational sister act and ultimate disco group from the USA - who other than Sister Sledge? The group headlined the opening night of Belladrum and wowed the crowds at the festival, held on the Belladrum Estate by Beauly.

Although their first time playing at Belladrum, the sisters shared their love of Scotland and the fond memories they had of their first visit to the Highlands in earlier years. Since they formed in the early seventies, Sister Sledge's style and sound has hugely influenced the world of disco music. Famous for the track We Are Family, the sisters have certainly stayed true to their word as Joni's son Thaddeus White now sings with his aunts Debbie and Kim. Tanya Tiet completes the singing line-up.
