ReadThanks you's and Dates for Shetland Folk Festival 2023
It’s difficult to sum up how we feel now that the 40th Shetland Folk Festival has come to an end, there’s such a huge mixture of emotions! We are so relieved the event happened and was so successful. We have had so much fun (maybe a little too much from time to time!), and we are absolutely thrilled with the feedback and lovely messages from so many people. We were sad yesterday to say farewell to so many friends – old and new - who come to the festival to perform, to enjoy the music and atmosphere, or to support in some other way.
