Explosive Orkney folk night: The Chair, FARA, and Gnoss celebrate anniversaries

Celebrate an incredible milestone with the mighty The Chair, commemorating (now) 21 years of their unique brand of Orcadian stomp. This formidable eight-piece delivers a turbocharged, high-energy mash-up of folk, rock, dub, blues, and klezmer—a rampant ruckus of acoustic instruments that erupts with the energy of a heavy rock gig.

Joining them are the sensational quartet FARA, who in 2025 were celebrating their 10th Anniversary. Their fiery fiddles, foot-stomping piano, and enchanting three-part vocal harmonies, now supported by an extended line-up featuring drums and double bass, will take you on a joyful journey through highlights of their acclaimed albums.

Completing this special bill are the genre-blending masters, Gnoss. Renowned for their dynamic live shows and multiple Scots Trad Music Awards nominations, their contemporary flair has solidified their position as a leading force in Scottish folk music.

This rescheduled Orkney Anniversary Special is a celebration of two decades of island musical power, guaranteeing a night of unrivalled, explosive folk music.

🎫 This show has been rescheduled for Saturday 24th January 2026. All tickets remain valid.
