It certainly had a passing thought from me over the past weekend. I'd love to get to Orkney FF - trouble is that it is always the same weekend as Chippenham FF. As Chippenham is where I work, only seven miles from where I live and I used to be part of the Festival Executive - I really feel duty bound to be there.

However, I'm certainly hoping to get back to Orkney some time soon - a very special place. What's the folk scene like on the islands at other times of the year?
