Well, the Shetland Folk Festival has come and gone, if you want to see and hear some of the music which featured in it – have a look here.
I’m not a crazy folky myself, although I do like it I wouldn’t go out of my way to hear it. One of my brothers absolutely despises (his word) all Scottish music, and just about foams at the mouth at the first squeeze of an accordion, it’s hilarious. But he is a massive Stranglers fan and follows them all over the place, even abroad. I must admit that I would probably choose to listen to The Stranglers rather than the old fashioned kind of traditional Scottish music.
I quite fancy going to the Shetland folk festival, but I think its popularity will have resulted in too many people in a small place. That is NOT my cup of tea! I’ll give it a miss again next year.
evee,
I feel the same, there’s no point in going somewhere like that if it’s like Sauchiehall Street.
