Shetland Folk Festival
The Shetland Folk Festival is a non-profit, volunteer driven organisation which organises an annual festival across multiple venues in the Shetland Islands.
Each year a wide array of both local acts and performers from around the world descend on the Shetland Isles to perform at what is known as The UK's most northerly music festival.
