Try this. I went to Arran this summer for the very first time.

Most impressed.

I was in Arran over the new year and it would appear that "something" will be happening over the summeer. Likely to be in June as previous years. I also read that a committee/working group had been set up to make sure the festival will run again in 2009, yes 2009.

A number of festival regulars went over to Arran for two or three years after the festival stopped for a weekend of sessions but this eventually died a death due to limited local support.

If there is no festival this year and anyone is interested in a session weekend in June pick up this thread and let's see what happens.

Each year I have gone up there is regular music round the island but mostly centred round the Sunday session in the Ormidale Hotel which I really enjoyed. A lot of the musicians who are involved there know what goes on and would be able to help
