Guitar Festival

Simon Thacker's Svara-Kanti

A Shetland Arts event.

The Shetland Guitar Festival is a celebration of guitar with concerts and educational events held in venues and schools throughout Shetland in September each year. Known locally as the “Peerie Willie” Guitar Festival, the event is dedicated to the memory of the late Willie Johnson, the highly regarded guitarist who pioneered the jazz influenced accompaniment style now prevalent in traditional Shetland music.

This year's festival will take the form of a guitar season, with concerts in October & November.  November's concert features a host of local guitar legends, as well as some up-and-coming stars of the future, at the Town Hall on Saturday 19 November.  Full line up and tickets here.
