If you fancy taking to the stage during the festival, and picking up some new tunes into the bargain, why not join in with the Fiddlers’ Rally on the afternoon of Sunday 24 May?
Hosted by the West Mainland Strathspey and Reel Society, the Rally brings together musicians from throughout Orkney and further afield, for massed performances of traditional tunes. It’s open to all who want to participate – not just fiddlers – and is quite a spectacle for the audience.
