Where is the Festival Club?
Islesburgh Community Centre, Lerwick The Festival Club is a hive of activity all weekend. It's the place to be if you are interested in meeting and greeting Festival artistes, listening to sessions or participating in the various workshops on offer. The Club is where the opening lunchtime concert is held which gives a real taster of what's ahead. There will also be a number of late night staged events that are simply too good to be missed! Entry to the Club will be restricted to 2008 wristband-wearing members (click here for info on membership) At certain peak times, the Festival Club may have restrictions on entry due to fire regulations. At these times, we ask you to form an orderly queue outside and you shall be permitted access once a sufficient number of people have left. Sessions Sessions are encouraged, with local and visiting artistes getting together to play a tune. There are four main rooms in the Club, three with pianos, plus the main concert venue (when concerts/sound checks are not being held). There are also numerous staircases, hallways and cupboards available for tunes if you so fancy! Merchandise 28th Festival merchandise will be on sale during the Festival at the Club. This will once again include the Anniversary Booklet that was produced in 2005 to commemorate our 25th birthday. It reveals the history, stories and photos from the first 25 Folk Festival years. Artiste's merchandise will only be sold at the venues that they are performing at. No Smoking Policy In line with recent Scottish Law please remember that ALL venues used by the Festival are strictly Non-Smoking - this includes the Festival Club. |
