read the poem "Bloody Orkney" before you book. I went once and it rained every single day for two weeks.

Two weeks! A bonus. All that rain AND all that great music.

I'm going - any my friend Jo. Already booked and paid to see 3 concerts. Can't wait now - rain or not! And there's always the Highland Park distillery to entice you!

I would certainly go if I could. It doesn't matter about rain - people sing sweeter in the wet

I'll be visiting Orkney but unfortunately not until early June.
Any suggestions where to go for music / singing?
