Shetland Folk Festival Podcast


Thursday, April 27, 2006

Just been to the opening of the Festival at Islesburgh.

Boy are we in for a treat.

A right good mixture of trad scottish, bluegrass, western swing and eastern european music.

Wouldn't you credit it the batteries in my camera were knacked so busy recharging them just now. Off to Boddam tonight so hopefully get some photos of that up on here tomorrow.

Also I will post the workshops and concerts that are on at the club on Saturday and all being well, I will be posting live from the club on Saturday night. That'll be fun, not to many drams !!!
