About Me

- SCOT TRAD MUSIC AWARDS 'EVENT OF THE YEAR' 2009 -

Fabulous four days of music featuring top international artists set against the backdrop of the glorious Gaelic culture and Hebridean heritage.

What makes this festival more special than your average festival is that it is true reflection of the culture and heritage of its homebase; the Hebrides. Outward looking and inclusive as all Hebrideans are, this event is brought to you by a number of dedicated enthusiasts. Staged around Lewis and Harris the festival team are assisted by community groups and organisations, businesses and individuals throughout the area making this truly a community event.

The reputation of the festival is now legendary, a fantastically warm and enthusiastic audience who welcome home family and friends for the festival makes this event the biggest island party of the year!
