A nine day multi-artform winter festival bringing big music to small halls around the Isles of Skye and Raasay and Lochalsh with the emphasis on civic celebration – everyone is welcome.

We bring some of the nation’s finest traditional musicians to our remote rural townships, using Scotland’s national day – St Andrew’s Day – as a reason to celebrate our unique Highland culture in the traditional way.

Our resident musicians lead concerts, workshops and sessions in small venues with some of the most spectacular views on the planet. the festival ends with the celebratory Big Cèilidh, featuring all of our participating musicians, at the Sligachan Hotel’s Seamus’ Bar on St Andrew’s Day.
