5th May 2010 - That's it for another year - except for a wee bit of research!

Well, what an amazing 30th Festival it has been and that's down to a whole lot of people. Many thank to all the volunteers - the local artistes, the accommodation hosts, the raffle and merch sellers, the Lerwick Boating Club and Sonny Priest, the transport boys, all the local halls and other important venues such as the Clickimin, Islesburgh, Legion and Shetland Hotel. Thanks to all the fantastic visiting artistes too and the amazing very hard working technical crews. And a huge thanks of course to all our grant funders, sponsors and most importantly the purchasers of tickets and memberships. The organising committee couldn't do our job without you all so thanks a million once again.

Oh and by the way, the 2011 FESTIVAL DATES ARE THURSDAY 28th APRIL to 1st MAY!

6th January 2010 - 30th Anniversary Provisional Lineup Announced

Happy New Year folks! We are mightily excited that we are now in the year that will also celebrate our 30th Anniversary Festival. Today is the first of a few announcements to be made over the coming weeks. We are absolutely thrilled to be announcing a provisional line up of fourteen visiting bands whose musicians hail from Scotland, USA, Ireland, Germany, Sweden, Ireland, France, Slovenia and England. It's a mixture of first timers and festival favourites from years gone by - and the perfect party combination. Enjoy.
