Islay is a magical place at all times, but the Festival adds an extra allure. Listeners get a choice of music throughout the weekend. They can mix and match the experience by seeking out particular musicians, or by scheduling a distillery visit, a seafood lunch, a walk on a beach or a round of golf...
The high quality artistic programme brings Scottish and international musicians together in Islay for the weekend to showcase their music and to respond spontaneously to fellow musicians, audiences and the unusual and atmospheric settings in which they find themselves. The festival features a taste of Islay - so watch out for hand-dived scallops, crabs, chocolates, homebaking and of course, Lagavulin.
