About me:

THE MOST NORTHERLY FOLK FESTIVAL IN THE UK

Entering its 28th year, the UK's most northerly folk festival is regarded a prestigious event for performers, locals and visitors alike. Organised by a voluntary committee (and run by an even bigger pool of volunteers) the Festival prides itself in reaching out to even the most far flung areas of Shetland.

Concerts are organised throughout the isles, consisting of some of the best International, British and Shetland music that the world has to offer. In fact, visiting artistes are regularly dumbfounded by the quantity and quality of local musicians that our remote isles have to offer. For more info see:

Hi. Looks like everyone had a good time and I'm happy the festival was such a success. Will there be any more video clips like last year (or is this a cunning plan to entice more visitors to witness the gigs in person and keep the barman busy)? Cheers.

Well, I've done some more travelling around the UK and seen some fabulous sights but Shetland FF has definitely been the icing on the cake, pity I ate it first. I'm not much of a songwriter but i just might have enough inspiration to pen a couple from the experience. You guys rock...err...folk :-)
