take place across


the island during the summer time at a number of different venues. For those who have never ceilidh danced before there is usually a helpful local


rran boasts a number of fantastic pubs and bars in all of the villag-

The first Arran Folk Festival was held in 1990 to celebrate the raw essence of traditional music, which thrives not only in Scotland but also in all the Celtic nations and beyond. Today it brings together the finest and most renowned musicians from the interna- tional scene; from stalwarts of the ‘60s revival to young pas- sionate players, who continue to enchant and inspire their audiences.

The Arran Folk Festival will be held from Friday 5 June until Sunday 7 June and will fea- ture a weekend of open ses- sions, concerts and ceilidhs with a cracking line-up of mu- sicians with several more acts still to be confirmed.
