Small is Beautiful
Our wee
festival is probably the smallest and most intimate traditional
music festival in Scotland, as the island Village Hall where we hold
our headline events has a capacity of about 150. Many of
our festival-goers are regulars: we know them by name, and they're
always welcome to have a blether while booking their tickets.
The Festival
The Isle of Gigha
Music Festival takes place over the last weekend in June every year.
People tend to arrive on the Friday night where there will be
informal music sessions and much craic.
During Saturday we run
a number of sessions and open mikes, and this year there will be a
singing workshop. There is a late afternoon barbecue at The
Boathouse, usually with music, followed by our headline evening
concert. There are usually sessions in the Hotel on Saturday evening
till late.
Do bring your
instruments with you.
We welcome musicians
of all abilities to our festival – learn or improve at a workshop,
play or sing at a session or open mike.
There is camping
available to all -

catering, B&B and the Hotel – to find out more visit
