    Orcadians love their music!

    There is the annual Folk Festival, but also many bars have sessions during the summer.

    Look out for live bands, advertised in the local papers - Orcadian / Orkney News.

    Even the local nightclub, Fusion, in Kirkwall has excellent live music.

    Try the Wrigley Sisters.

     Enjoyed your page.. again. Sent it on to a friend whose ancestors are from Orkney. I'm sure she'll love what you've done here. Ah! Happy birthday just a bit early. Have fun!

     Hi Malcolm! Great page here with superb stories & info; well-deserving of a top 5 rank! Let's see if we make it up to Orkney this summer. So far the furtherst north we've been is Ullapool... we're slowly working our way up! / Jess ;-)
