Bars all over, like Ferry Inn, Stromness: Traditional Music - fiddle, accordian, whistle

by scotlandscotour

Orcadians love their music!There is the annual Folk Festival, but also many bars have sessions during the summer.Look out for live bands, advertised in the local papers - Orcadian / Orkney News.Even the local nightclub, Fusion, in Kirkwall has excellent live music.Try the Wrigley Sisters.www.orkneyfolkfestival.com Just turn up, and bring an instrument if you play. Everyone welcome!

our own studio room: a good soak in the bath!

The night life on Orkney is mainly in Kirkwell I think, although i can imagine that is fairly quiet.We were so busy overday exploring and walking that we were quite glad to spend our evenings relaxing.I found a long warm bath the best "nightlife". Lovely warm water, take a book and a cup of tea and soak!!!
